Conroy, advance agent for the Hawera Amateur Dramatic Society, is in New Plymouth at present, arranging for the appearance of the society, here on Boxing night and the following night, The pieces to be Btaged are " He played but once," and " Our gaUant defenders," and the society has earned a very creditable reputation for its performances at Hawera.

After the close of the Cml Wat in Amerioa, a northern general who was soundly thrashed by General Stonewall Jackson at Gettysburg, was asked to explain how he coald believe in the power of prayer when both he and Jackson prayed for success.

Mr T. .Parata is evidently an up-to-date I representative. A southern exchange says: T. Farata, M.H.K , for the Southern 3 Maori District, has been addressing his constituents in different parts of Canterbury, and explaining to them the various Acts passed last session in the interests of the natiye race. Amongst these are the Native Land Claims Adjustment Act, which affects | different localities in the South Island, and the Native Councils Act, which provides for local government by the Maoris of their own affairs. Mr Parata stated that the reason that the providing of land for landless natives had been so long delayed was due to certain surveys not having been completed. Ha hoped the question would be settled in about a year. The Government surveyors had been busy locating families on land at Wairaurahere, Waiau, Tautoku, and Stewart Island.

Owing to many complaints having reached the New Plymouth Homing Pigeon Olub from other flying clubs as to the destruction of birds whilst training over their district, we would draw the attention of our readers to the very important clauses in the Homing Pigeon Act, 1898, whereby any one intentionally or negligently shooting, killing, disabling, ensnaring or injuring any homing pigeon is liable to a penalty of £lO, and to pay the owner the value of any pigeon killed or injured, or the amount ot such injury. / HOLLO -V AY'S PILLS AND 01NTMEN C.
