A prominent member of the Pahiatua Cricket Club suggested to us this morning the advisableness of calling a meeting of the club on uccount of the alleged death of the secretary. Probably when the secretary reads this he will show signs of returning vigour. We remind cyclists of the annual meeting of the Pahiatua Cycling Club to bo held in the Commercial Hotel this evening at 8 o’clock. Intending mem* bers are invited to be present.

Mr E.

Miss Tuely notifies by an advertisement in another column that she has started dressmaking in Mangatainoka, opposite the schoolhouso.

A committee meeting of tho Pahiatua Swimming Club was hold last evening to (lisciiHs the advisablenoHs of constructing poinianent baths in Pahiatua. Mr It. P. Grevillo had made an olfor to allow tho baths to be made on his property, tlio water for which is supplied by natural springs. The committee, after considering Mr Greville’s offer, decided to adjourn tho mooting until Friday evening, and in the meantime inspect tho locality. The following is from the Observor : “ Miss Winifred Armstrong, one of the most popular teachers in the Carterton school, has handed in her resignation in view of her approaching marriage to Mr ltobert Darroch, ono of Carterton’s most distinguished “ old boys.” Miss Armstrong has been teaching in Carterton for four and a half years, and during thut time Ims made herself a great favorite with tho pupils under her charge, and has enjoyed tho entire confidence of the parents. On the threshold of her new existence we wish Miss Armstrong many happy years of wedded bliss.”

We call the attention of the authorito the fact that a horse suffering from a severe attacks of strangles has boon and is now allowed to stray about Palmerston North road. In justice to those who own horsos within tho borough this should not be allowed. We fail to see why such a disgraceful thing should have been allowed for a single day. The wild, hilarious way tho ranger swooped down upon our office crock every time he ventured upon tho streets unprotected is still green in our memory, and he was enjoying the best of health. What is sauce for our healthy crock should bo sauce for other people’s '* strangled ” quadrupeds. \ i
