Second Edition.

Mr W. Vile, with an eye to the publio mind, has decided to run daily with his brougham to and from Makuri, starting from Pahiatua at 8 a.m. sharp and returning at 2 p.m. An advertisement in connection with the matter appears in another column. Messrs Abraham and Williams advertise the stock list for their next Pahiatua sale. The friends of Mr D. Taj lor, who left Pahiatua for Scotland at the latter end of last year, will be glad to learn that he intends to return at the end of this year. Find the loadstone. Nominations for the Woodlands Hunt Club's steeplechase meeting to be held at Danevirke on tho 29th inst. close with the secretary at Danevirke at 9 o’clock to-night. Mr James Sinclair, who has sold his farm at Mangahao, has instructed Mr Matthew Henry to sell at his yards, Pahiatua, to-morrow, 20 head of firstclass dairy cows and 10 head of young cattle.

A lady advertises to day that she took some other person's umbrella from the porch of the Anglican Church last evening by mistake. She wishes the lady who took hers to leave it at this office. As announced elsewhere the Kinematograph will not be shown in Pahiatua to-morrow evening as advertised last issue. The management is doing such good business in Wellington that they are loth to leave it.

Two erstwhile Bush Union players were included in the Hawke's Pay rep. team playing at Wellington on Saturday last viz., E. Troon, an old Woodville three-quarter, and Williams, at one time full-back for Eketahuna. Our Woodville letter teems with important items in connection with country matters. Our correspondent has been travelling through the country and sends us a very newsy letter. Dr Gault, who has been away for some time on a visit to the mother country, returns to Pahiatua to-morrow. We join with his host of friends in wishing him a warm welcome. Mr T. 15. Hunter, Main-street, has added considerably to his stock. He has now on view several valuable violins, and also holds an agency for brass instruments. He has on show a well fisnished cornet, which has been tried by a local authority and pronounced Al. Mr Hunter has also in his window a sample “ Champion ” lady’s bicycles, which should catch the eye of some lady scorcher.

It will be remembered that about a fortnight ago Mr A. Berriman's residence at Kaitawa was totally destroyed by fire with all its contents save about J£l2 worth of furniture. Both house and furniture were insured in the New Zealand Insurance Company and through tho local agent (Mr G. Harold Smith) the claims have already been paid without inquiry and without any claim on the salvage. Tho Company’s promptness is more than commendable.

There is always a great amount of advertising in connection with ladies’ requirements, but the men seldom get an opportunity as to their requirements. However, Messrs Trewby Bros., in another column, notify that they have just opened up a large shipment of assorted tweeds, etc., including the latest fashionable goods for the spring and summer of 1897. The firm has a firstclass cutter on the premises and invite those who intend speculating in new suits to call in and inspect the stock. The following team has boen selected to represent the Bosh Union junior reps, against tho Wairarupa junior team on Saturday afternoon next at Pahiatua : —Fullback, Thacker (Woodville); threequarters, it. Vile, Cook and Miller (Pahiatua); Five-eights, Grinlington (Woodville); half, Hawke (Pahiatua); wings, Since (Woodville), 15. Smith (Pahiatua) ; forwards, Zillwood, Knight, McCardle, iUtnsny, Helleur, Lewis (Pahiatua), Lloyd (Woodville). Emergencies Backs, Wallace (Diamonds) ; O. Smith, Koit (Pahiatua); forwards, Birnio (Diamonds), B. Vile (Pahiatua), Smith (Diamonds).

We understand that steps arc being taken to form the orchestra that has been assisting at the recent concerts into a properly constituted society. We consider this step is a wise one. In Pahiatua lhere are now resident a number of ladies and gentlemen well qualified to form a really excellent orchestru, and by forming themselves into nn organisation they will be able to accomplish far more than by working in a huplm/urd manner. Mr 15. G. M. Harrison is taking an active interest in the movement, ttiAn whom there is no more energetic and cupable musician in the district. A meeting is to bo held shortly to discuss the project.
