A correspondent wired nt 2 p.m. to-day from Waitara :—": — " The s.s. Lalla Hookh left at one having the Colonist in tow. The Lalhi Itookh cleared tho bar, but left tho Colonist on the north bank." John Paul wns brought up on remand this morning, at the Police Court, on a charge of breaking and entering tho store oE R. Townsend, or! Waitnra, and stealing a quantity of saddlery therefrom. Mr. Pardy asked fora further remand until to morrow, which was granted. As an instance o£ the mildness of the present season, Captain Messenger hns forwarded to us a sample of strawberries grown out of doors at Pukearuhe. Although no extra care had been bestowed upon them, they are large, fully ripe, and in every respect equal to the fiuit which is only expected to ripen later in the year. To-morrow, at noon, tlic Annual Horse Parade, under the auspices of the Taranaki Agricultural Society, will take place on the Reclaimed Land, at the end of Currie-strect. The Ciicus occupies a portion o£ tho ground, but there will bo plenty of room for the Horse Parade as well. On this occasion n charge of ss. for eacli horse will be made to cover the cost of advertising. The cold wintry weather having now passed, and tho genial spring set in, our cordial manufacturers arc commencing operations for supplying the public with beverages to quench their thirst. Mr. A.

White writing to us the other day, mentioned the taking of a swarm o£ honey bees on the Ist October, fl liicli he says seemed un extraordinary thing to a newcomer, und asks it' it is not an unusual tiling even here for them to swarm thus early in the spring. Captuin Messenger informs us that he took a very fine swarm of bees from hia boxes on the 27th September, which are now working hard and doing well.
