Members of tlic Philharmonic Society are requested to meet for practice at the OJd Fellows' Hall this evening at 7 o'clock. It has been reported to the police that the store of Mr. J. Bland, <it Okato, was robbed on Monday night. The steamer "Wellington left Onehunga at noon yesterday, arrived here at daylight this morning, took in and discharged passengers and cargo, and left for the south shortly after nine o'clock. The s.s. Oreti has just landed a heavy cargo at the Waitara, chiefly material for extension of railway works at and beyond Stratford. In this cargo are 2.000 sleepers imported from Tasmania, via Wellington. It seems strange our enterprising bush settlers cannot supply sleepers quick enough. We are informed that a telegram was sent yesterday from Wellington to the Secretary of the Law Society, stating that the District Judge has been appointed Commissioner for the district, under " The Native Lands Frauds Prevention Act.' 1 The telegram was in reply to one sent the same day, representing the inconvenience occasioned by the vacancy in that office.
