See advt. Mr A. M. Wainwright has taken up 10 acres of land, adjoining the race course, Te Aroha, from Tamati, native, and already the work of erecting a four room house thereon, is in a forward state. The house is being built by Mr Griffiths of Waikato. On Thursday and Friday of last Mr Fidler, school inspector, held the annual examination of pupils attending tho Te Aroha public school. The whole results will not be known perhaps for some weeks, but in the lower standards tho examination was most satisfactory, as out of forty-five children presented in Nos. 1 and 2, forty-three passed. The inspector expressed his satisfaction with the discipline maintained in tho school. The first meeting of the new Waikato Hospital and Charitable Aid Board has been fixed for Wednesday next, December Ist, and will be held at Hamilton. 30 tons of Adeline and 10 tons of Diamond tailings were forwarded to the Thames per Kotuku from Pueroa on Thursday. At Ohinemuri County Council on Wednesday, tho chairman Cr Cock, and Gr Nicholls, weie appointed Trustees on the Thames Hospital Board, and Cr Walsh was reappointed to reprosent the Council on tho Charitable Aid Board. The Ohineumri Saurian monster scarce Ims been abruptly cut short by the capture of the creature, which turned out to bo a setil about 7ft in length. This Sudan business has become pretty nearly played out in the Waikato. Tenders are invited for the Punui station buildings contract, of Marton-Te Awamutu Railway. See advt. Our readers are reminded that Messrs Alf. Bucklnnd and Co., will hold their first great horse sale at Messrs Bradley and Fergusons stables this day nt one o'clock ; when will also be sold a number of vehicles, saddles, bridles, harness, etc., etc. Sco advt. The concert and dramatic perform ince, by local amateurs in th 2 Te Aroha Public Hall last night was a great success, and drew a bumper housa. D/meing commenced about 11, and was kept up with spirit for several hours, the building presenting a gay scene. Mr J. J. Kelly is tho eucccesf ul tenderer for mail service' between Pueroa and Tauranga. Mr Hale 5 ?, Auckland district engineer, recently paid-.a, visit tr> 3?aurang;i, to consuit with Captain Turner, county engineer on the most advantageous way /of spending the grant for tho formation of Thompson's track, and to report to Government on the matter. Mr J. B. Whyte, M HR., by his recent further purchase of residence sites at Te Aroha, now owns tho complete line of sections, extending from near the school reserve, on the one side, to the hospital reserve on the other, with one exception, viz., that owned and occupied by Mr Hornibrook. My dear, come in and go to bed," said the wife of a jolljr son of Erin, who had just returned from the fair, in a decidedly how-came you-so state, " you must be dreadfully tired, shuro, with your long walk of six miles." " Arrah ! get away wid your nonsense," said Pat ; it wasn't the length of the way, at all, that fatigued me ; it was the breadth of it." Hon. J. A. Tole, and Mrs Tole, left Te Aroha for Auckland by Tuesday morning s train. Mr 'i'olo expressed himself as greatly pleased with Te Aroha. .- At the annual meeting of the Piako County .Council,' hsld at Chambridge on Wednesday last, Mr W. L. C. Williams was again unanimously elected chairman, and tribute paid to the satisfactory and able manner in which he had discharged the duties connected with the office heretofore. At the same meeting it was | unanimously resolved to increase by £50 per annum, the- salary of Mr C. Tuck, tho efficient clerk of the Council. Mr ijTUc^jjha^ |>een , long connected with the council, provedhimself a Very valuable clerk transacting fhe business developing on him in an able and satisfactory manner, and well deserves this-mark-of appreciation of his services. ~' / ' i '-"^l ' Messrs' Wf /-/.J 7 LjHurie Und Co's new advertisement -appears in this 'issue, by which it _will be seen that, the firm are now erecting a bone mill-trt Ngaruawahia with the object^o? supplying a really pur© bone manure., -aftd. are prepared to purchase bones in any quantity.

Mr Everitt has now on the stocks two very neat pair our boats, which should be rea(fy> for launching in the^ course of a few days. Mr Everitt's boats are all built of first-class well seasoned materials, and are in every way most creditably fptrned. out. We understand further new bouts will follow as soon as those in hand have been completed. Mr ' Eveiitt is deserving of praise for the spirited manner in woich he has gone into the matter of providing boats of all shapes, sorts and feizes, and visitors to Te Aroha, as well as local residents must appreciate the opportunity thus afforded them of being able to indulge in a pleasant boating on the Waihou. It is stated* on^excellent authority, that two southern, .gentlemen have been so impressed with the value of the mineral waters at Te Aroha, and the excellent prospects of tho place, that they have offered to invest £500 each, towards the starting of a sanatorium there, to be under the charge of a skilful medical practijner. We have no doubt the investment would prove a highly remunerative oue, and trust it may bafcarried into effect at an early date ; as the project is an excollent one, and well worthy of support. We are requested to intimate that tho outward 'Frisco mails Avill in future be closed at Te Aroha Post-office on Saturday mornings instead of on Mondays as hither- ' to. Next 'Frisco mail will close on Saturday next, 4th December, at 7.30 a.m. Due in London about 11th Januaiy, 1887. An Auckland Star reporter states with respect to an interview with the Colonial j Secretary, " the Hon. P. Buckley seems to have been both surprised and delighted with his trip to Te Aroha. lie is greatly impressed with its prospects, both as a centre of settlement and as a first-cl.iss sanatorium, and ho seems disposed to assist in its progress to the best cf his ability." The following juvenile exhibitors nt the Sunday Schools' Industrial Exhibition Auckland, were successful in carrying off piizos: — First prize: Mina Morrison (8 years), for pair baby's stockings (knitted). First prize : Sarah Morrison (12 years), for pair baby's booties (crochet). Second prize, Prudence Morrison (13 years), for a doll's dress. Thus three out of four exhibitors from one family carried off prizes, all being attendants at the Te Aroha Wesleyan Sunday School. Mr W. R. Bridgmans new advertisement appears in this issue. It will be observed that Mr Bridgrnan offers some special lines, at extraordinarily low prices. Purchasers at this establishment may with confidence rely upon being well served, and in all departments receive excellent value for their money. On Saturday last a four oar gig race took place from Dibsells landing to the railway bridge, between the following ciewß for a small stake. 1. Messrs Cannelh M. Maingay, Frazer, and Menzies, (Alf. Everitt, ooxwuin) ; 2. P. Quinlan, Faulkner, A. Comes, and Menary, (C. Everitt coxwain) ; and resulted in a win for the first mentioned crew, by several Jen^thB. A notice re payment of accounts owing to th« late firm of Laybourn Bros., appears in this issue. Mr Harston, Pianoforte tuner is now at Te Aroha. See advt.
