The Hag flying at half-mast at th Pukekohe Post Office on Friday naturally caused anxious enquiries to be made The reason was the Mikado was to be buried. With due respect to the authorities we think that for foreign potentates it would be sufficient to half-mast at the official buildings in the cities.

To the last meeting of the Raglan County Council the Wairamarama Ratepayers' Association forwarded the following resolution which had been passed at a recent meeting: "That all vehicles, irrespective of springs drawn by over two horses on the main road between the Tuakau bridge and Wairamarama be furnished with four-inch tyres."—The committee appointed to deal with this subject reported that as all the required information had not yet come to hand they asked leave to sit again and report in two months.

Mr Mark Deed, formerly of this district, appears to have had a peculiar experience on Thursday night. He was at sea in a dinghy and told an unusual story of the drowning of a companion whom in some way lie had met and with whom he had gone out in the boat.
