That tho trout m the Motu river are steadily gaining m size was shown by a lice even lot of five trout, averaging libs each, which were caught by Mr R. Warrington on Sunday afternoon.

McGavin) was headmaster. Mr McGavin, now a superannuated teacher, is m Auckland as on© of the members of the Native Schools Association which has been holding its conference at Parnell. A correspondent writes to the Hawera Star : ."1 travelled by the mail train from Wanganui -to Hawera, every carriage being literally packed. In the samo carriage with myself there was a badly wounded soldier, who had been m hospital at Rotorua. This poor fellow, whose left shoulder liad been almost completely shot away, was compelled to travel second-class no sleeping accommodation being found for him, and when I met him he had been 16 hours m the trajn. Fancy a man with a shattered arm, still m tho doctor's hands, being treated m such a manner! The wounded man told me he had received " his wound at tho samo time as Colonel Malone was shot." Mr C J. East announces that he resumes music lessons on Monday, January 31. - .
