After the Borough Council meeting on Monday night the Works Committee met, and decided to begin watering the streets on the morrow. Pursuant to this decision the .streets were watered to-day (Tuesday). It is the intention of the Council to collect subscription!! from those benefited by the work. A very useful little book, called •' The New Zealand Cookery Book," has been forwarded to us by the publisher, Mr C. G. Carter, of Tauranga. It is full of useful information as to how food should bo cooked, and is a book that should be in every household. The racehorse Fraternite will be shipped at Waitara by the Gairloch this (Tuesday) night for Auckland, wherohe i 8 engaged in the Cup and Derby. Wellington is now adopting a. new language, finding English not expressive enough. When the newspapers report police cases they say " Messrs ■ ■ and , Justices of the Peace, attumed the Bench." Very good, for Wellington. The first number of a new journal called Truth, has been sent to us. It is an X unsectarian bi-monthly periodical, very well got up, atrd will no doubt find its way among a large circle of readers. Amongst the subjects written on in this numbers are: — "Christian Holiness, not Perfection ;" " Roman Catholicism," " Rationalism, Free Thought, and Infidelity ;" " Christian Science j" t " Seventh Day Adyentism ;" " The Bible, the Christian, and Labour Question." The following case was heard in the K:M. Court this. (Tuesday) morning : — R» Cock v. G, G. Gleeson. Claim, £20 on a dishonored promieory note, and costs, £1 3a. Messrs H. Weston and C.

It bears the following inscription : — ' This table is erected in memory of Bro. James . T. Davis, P.D.C.R., A.0.F., Taranaki District, died September 18th, 1891.;' He always tried to do his duty." The tablet has boen moat artistically chiselled by Mr 8011, -who has inlet into the marble a portrait of the deceased. Mr t Walter Lesle, a member of the Hantard staff, ' who has been making a trip round the islands in the Colonial steamfr Hinomoa, was on shore to-day for "a shoU time. Mr Leslie is a very clever artist, and after seeing tho Recreation Grounds regretted his time was bo limited that he could not take a few sketches of different parts 5f it with him. Seeing by the notice on the bathing house that the grounds were supported by voluntary contributions, he " donated." Among the passengers by the steamer Tekapo, which arrived at Wellington on Friday last from Sydney was Mr Whitoley King, who comes over in the interest of i the Pastoralists' Association of Australia, of, which he is secretary. Mr Whiteley King's visit tp New Zealand is to enquire into the frozen' meat trade, with a view to its development in Australia, for thei purpose of getting rid of the surplus stock, j and also into rabbit- prevention. Hestutos New Zealand- she&rers made at least £30,000 in Australia. The squatters are loud in their praise; and have agreed to take full boards of New Zealanders next season. It will be remembered that in our report of Mr Ballanco's speech, at Patea, that gentleman was reported to have said, when referring to the Payment of Members Bill, that "Mr Smith, M.H.R., of New Plymouth, had told him Mr Hutchison's name was on the paper asking the Government to introduce the bill." Mr Hutchison, writing from Wellington, says: — " I telegraphed' to Mr Smith asking. him to wire mo if he made such a statement, and, if so, on what authority. More than three days have elapse i, and I have had no reply ; but, however Mr Smith and Mr Ballance may reconcile their rccollec tions, the statement that I signed any paper asking tho Government to introduce the bill i 3 absolutely without foundation.' I purpose taking suitable measures to expose publicly tho falsity of the statement, for the matter is too serious to bo passed over with a moro denial." In Mr, Gilinour's window may bo seen some really beautiful photographs of the Auckland Concert Company, executed by Mr llanna, of Auckland. The photographs comprise a group of the members of the company, and also some single photos of each member. Those of MrT.

This Company intends touring the Taranaki, Wanganui, and Hawke's Bay Distr'cts. They give two concerts in New Plymouth, on Dec 30th and 31st, and thence go to Hawora, where they play under engagement to the Hawera Caledonian Society.
