Cooper holds his Auction Sale at Aratapu on October 22nd. Entries of horses, cattle etc., for sale should be sent in at once, A cheap sale of Drapery and Clothing from the well, known establishment of 'Mr O. TI. Hopkins (<f Queen Street Auckland, is now g'-iug on in Barbour’s store, Aratapu. The Kopuru P. C. Junior team have received their caps, which seem to entitle them to pass as W. R, U, representatives. The caps are maroon and bear the Union, mono cram. The Rev Mr Miles, Angliean vicar in Somersetshire, has been declared bankrupt. Liabilities, £6,000. Partly caused by losses on the turf. Mr Edwards was locked up last night by Constable Scott and this morning taken before Mr Thomas Webb J P,, and charged with being drunk and disorderly and unlawfully on the premises of Mr R, Cobbald. Accused was fined £8 and 2s costs.

Mr Thomas Houston, eldest son of Mr R, M. Ilous on, M.IT R., was married on September 22nd, to Miss Lily Bowman, second daughter of Mr John Bowman of Ahipara, at which settlement the ceremony took place, A brother of Mr James McNaughton, formerly pupil teacher at the Aratapu School, was lost in the bush at Tanranga last Friday and was four days without food. He followed some cattle into the bush but lost them and himself too. A reward of £lO was offered and parties of natives s( oured the bush with the happy result of finding the youth alive. Air N. A. McLeod, of Dargaville, addressed the people of Paperoa last week on poAicri matters. He reviewed the Eight Hours Bill, the Inspection of building Appliances Bill, the Workmen’s .Lien Bill, ti.e Industrial Conciliation Bill, the Shop Hours Bill, and the land laws, pointing nut how the various measures would work prejudicially. He recommended the formation of a branch of the National Association. Perhaps Mr McLeod might be induced to repeat his address at Aratapu. From the Public Works Estimates we gather that of the £2OOO voted in 1891 for the Kaihu Valley Railway only £855 was expended, so that the present voce of £1543 ifi chiefly a renewal. The £2OO for Toba toka is for the road from there to Mangaped, and the Maropiu £SO is for the road loading to Ivai—Twi. The Opua, Okaihau,

and Victoria Valley votes are chiefly renewals. We hope the Minister of Public Works will see that the works are taken in hand early and the money wisely expended. A meeting of the Northern Wairoa Agricultural and Pastoral Association was held at Mititai last night. The attendance was not large but a good meeting was held and a profitable discussion on grasses followed the reading of Mr Webb’s paper. As a proof of the good to be done by such discussions we may say that on visiting the Council Chambers this morning we there saw a bunch of grass carefully put by for examination. A full report of the proceedings at the meeting will appear iu our next issue for the benefit ef those who were not in attendance. J. Special meeting of the Hobson Comity Council was held on Monday last to confirm the striking of the general rate and pass the Balance sheets. The Council is already some months late in the striking of the rate and but for the appearance of Or, .Bassett, who was sent for from Tatarariki to make a quorum, the matter would have been again deterred by the lapsing of the meeting. The Councillors present were Messrs A. E, Harding (chairman), H. Berridge, M. Cobbald, and T. Bassett. The Balance Sheets for Year and Half Year were passed umk duly signed. The striking of a general rate of one penny in the £ oy#r tho whole County was oonQrmfi&f

Mr A 15. Harding hua again been put to considerable loss by dogs worrying ids sheep. Mr Maule, shepherd, found eight sheep killed by dogs, and on the third day was successful in tracing the mongrels into Duck Creek, where he found the owner in the person of a native. Mr Harding soon after interviewed the gentleman and demanded from him the dogs and payment for the sheep destroyed. The native demurred and Mr Harding left him the option of accepting the terms offered or appearing at Court to settle the matter. The next morning the owner brought the dogs in to Mr Harding and paid for the sheep claimed. The dogs were immediately shot. Rev J. J. Mather, Wesleyan Minister, holds three services in this district on Sun day next. Morning at Aratapu, afternoon at Arapohue, and evening at Mangawhare. He comes as a special deputation on behalf of the Wesleyan Home Mission Fund, and will also lecture at Te Ivopuru on Monday ; Aratapu on Tuesday, Mangawhare on Wednesday, and Arapohue on Thursday. Mr Mather is a thorough Yorksbireman, and has chosen for the subject of his lectures “ Sammy Hick, the village blacksmith.” Hick was a noted Yorkshire local preacher, original and eccentric in character, partaking a good deal of the Billy Bray type, but rather a b'>tter preacher. Mr Mather’s lecture will be full of humour and a treat to those who have a taste for something beyond the farcical. The lectures will be interspersed with music and there will be no charge for admission but a collection will be taken up at each meeting on behalf of the Wesleyan Home Missions* Mrs T, S. Webb, of Aratapu, had a narrow escape from serious injury by poison - ing this week, She had been suffering from a cold and was taking Irish Moss for it. On Wednesday morning, in the grey dawn she got out to take some medicine, and took down what she supposed to be the bottle of Irish Moss, poured out a dose and swallowed it. She then discovered that she had mistaken the buttle and taken iodine, and immediately informed her husband. Mr Webb’s experience of drugs ssrved him in good stead, and he promptly administered a suitable emetic which acted within five minutes. We are glad to learn that Mrs Webb is rapidly recovering from the ill effects of the poison.
