Wairarapa Standard, Volume XVIII, Issue 1681, 4 March 1885, Page 2

The Native Lands Court sits in Masterton on the 11th. It is likely that after a week’s sitting there it will be adjourned to Grey town, as there are several cases connected with this part of the Wairarapa to be settled. Tenders close at Hammerich’s Hotel, Greytown, at 4 p.m. on Saturday next, for ploughing, subsoiling, and harrowing, the Wairarapa Jockey Club Haceoourse. Specifications can be seen at Hammerich's Hotel.

The N, Z. Times says, that Mr Ellis, the psychometrist, is receiving a great many visitors at his rooms in Wellington, and has been very successful in his diagnoses. A Press Association telegram fromDunediu states that about £37,000 was put through the totalisator at the three days’ races. The Rev Mr Youug, Wesleyan Minister, now presiding over the Greytown circuit, will preach his last sermon in this district on the 22nd of this month. Ho then leaves for Opunako. The first second and third horses in Ada Mantua’s Consultation on the Dunedin Cup were drawn by (1) a musician, of Dunedin ; (2) an employee in a brewery at Invercargill; (3) a carpenter in Dunedin. Signor Hug, medical clairvoyant, announces that he will visit Featberston on the 21st, Greytown on the 23th, Mastertou on the 31st, and Palmerston on the 7th April, remaining at each place several days. A requisition is being got up to ask Sir Julius Vogel to address a meeting in Dunedin after ho has given his Christchurch address. Mr D. Cameron, of Moroa, advertises for sate from 1000 to 1500 good, sound, Merino ewes.

In response to a requisition signed by 7(1 ratepayers, the Mayor of Mastertou has convened a public meeting to bo held tomorrow evening for the purpose of considering the existing train arrangements. In the repot t of the Ram and Ewe Fair it was stated that Mr Ward bought a Romney Marsh ram for 20s. It should have read 60s The cricket team selected to play Masterton on Saturday, are requested to bo at the railway station in time to leave by the 8.45 a.m. train. Piaotice is held every evening. The Woodville Examiner says :—A prospecting party is at work iu the vicinity of Woodville, for the purpose of obtainiug traces of alluvial or quartz gold. Good quartz b" ' been found in several places iu the dim ■ ■:t and has evidently been carried down from the range.” There are many persons in the Wairarapa who firmly believe that gold exists right through the Tararua ranges, aud their opinion is baaed upon the auriferous quartz that has been picked up from time to time in different places. If payable stone could be found it would be a good thing for the Wairarapa district, but we do not want a Terawhiti experience. It was hoped that a prospecting party would have been sent out before now from Greytown, but the heavy rains aud generally wet season at the close of 18S3 were not favorable to the project, and then when the Mastertou swindle came to light the settlers who were willing to help withdrew their support. The time is not far distant, however, when the ranges will be tested, aud let us hope the effort will be crowned with success.

The Greytown Psychological Society have been hj Pling some very interesting meetings of late and those members who have persisted in investigating are being rewarded with results. Last Friday evening was devoted to experiments in thought reading. Two or three members proved their susceptibility to impressions, and the way in which they were moved to find hidden articles was astonishing. There is no doubt this society has a useful career before it, and though the investigators are few in number they will be well repaid by the development received. An advertisement in another column announces that those who are in arrears with their subscriptions must pay up if they are to enjoy the privileges of investigation, and it is to be hoped that the request will be responded to. A comfortable room with a tire, on the coming winter evenings with plenty of literature, and circles for the investigation of psychological subjects is not found in many towns of New Zealand. We bear that Mrs Lena Cooke, clairvoyant, is expected in Greytown early next week. Tic-doloreux, toothache, or any other neuralgia pain speedily yields to Baxter's Anti-neuralgic Pills.

A new bakery is clout to be ►baled in Feather-don. Mr W. jl ■a!in . 1 ‘ lime with Mr lin'd, "'ill ! ' newly built oven, in a lr«m the " ■* I*" 'K 1 ' Mr Speakman beau for the sup< m rll > c - ‘, broad and confectim cry there is'ei.t 1 doubt of his success. It is intended to hold the Spring meeting of the Wairarnpa Jockey Club on tbn vf course at Greytmvu and the secretary Mr it. H. Armstrong informs us that every eiloft will bo made to put the course, Ac., iu gO"d order by next November. Mr F. 11. Wood will sell the Amalgamated Friendly Societies’ sports privileges ou Wcunesdaynext at his (ireytown rooms. Greytown is a small country town, but somehow or other several notabilities have from time to time visited it. Shortly Gerald Massey, poet and lecturer, will come this way and in response to a request will deliver a lecture entitled “ A Leaf from the Book ol my Life.” Mr. J. G. Cox. of Featherston. will take the chair. As a poet, the “ London Review "says of Massey : “ Brave, honest, Beespoken Gerald Massey 1 Assuredly it is no vain speculation to suppose that the name of such a poet will become a household word among millions ; that his writings will ho regarded as a precious jewel amongst their domestic treasures ; that wherever the English tongue is spoken, and an English heart heats with paternal love, or throbs for liberty, there will the poems of Gerald Massey be received with welcome.” As a lecturer, he has evoked equal admiration. The Sydney “ Daily Telegraph,” referring to a lecture delivered in that city, said that “ it was a matter upon which the community might congratulate itself that the intellectual interest of the audience had never been surpassed iu connection with any lecture that had been delivered in Sydney.” Mr Massey is desirous of interviewing some of the Muons during his sojourn in New Zealand, and lie will probably have a moetiug with some of those residing near Greytown. To Whiti, the Maori prophet, has the impression that tlio last day is at hand, and believing he has read his Libia correctly, ho is making this idea known to the unlives in different parts. We have been told that the chief reason tor Te Whiti's intention of visiting Grevtown in June next with Tito Kavaru and his followers is to preach this doettiue to the natives of this district and so prepare them for the catastrophe. There will be an opportunity of enjoying a dance on Friday next at tbo Town Hall, the committee of the Horticultural Society having set apart the side room for that purpose. The charge for admission is very low and we have no doubt there will be a largo number of visitors to the show who will gladly take advantage of the opportunity for dancing. A “ drouthy ” correspondent sends us the following concerning “ drinks There are always new and seductive inventions iu the way of “ morning drinks ” from “ that cup which cheers and does inebriate.” Lord Byron pinned his faith to " Hoc!: and sodawater ” which in truth is an exquisite beverage. " Rum and milk ” used to be regarded with favor by many of our old settlers, while tipplers of more relincd tastes have iong patronised that wonderful unAi reviving “ pick-mc up ” yclept ” Job”

Collins,” so named after n once celebrated headwaiter at “ Lhnnieis. ” a Goujon hosiehy of the good old times. The hde.-t invention in the shape of morning dunks is

“ Iced Goat,” which is concocted and dispensed by the bar-keepers of New York. It is composed of gout’s milk, gin, and lemon peel, with a due addition of sugar and ice. It is said that the new beverage is quite the rage there.” Thus far our correspondent. We would mildly suggest to him and other partakers of “ morning drinks,” that if they want to preserve appetite, digestion, brains and good health, they will eschew utterly, all “ morning drinks,” which contain alcohol. All physicians and physiologists are now universally agreed that taking alcoholic stimulants in any shape or form, in the morning, is highly iujudicious to health in every possible way. On the question of usiug beer, wipe, or spirits, physicians are divided m opinion—some being in favor of total abstinence and others of a rigidly moderate use. But the “ moderate ” medical men, are agreed upon this point ;—That beer, wine, or spirits, should not bo taken iu the morning, and that as a rule they should only be taken to a very Umitedextent, with the dinner meal, or at the close of the day’s work or business. Promiscuous •‘nipping” and “morning drinks ” aie denounced by all the highest medical authorities. They are simply “ nails iu the coffin ” of the imbiber.

A story comes from Non innbe <,j a youngster playing about the ton ol a wall when the lid gave way and lie U 1 into the water, which was six feel deep. Ilm lid followed and struck flic boy unT r tiieeir, knocking him insensible, then it dive,l under him and held Iris Leal up so that he sl-o ild not drown. The boy’s moth' r lowered a girl of thirteen in the bucket to fetch up the boy, and just as she reached him the roue broke, and she went souse too. The mother got another rope, and one by one , L up boy, girl, lid and bucket, none of tie m much the worse for the mishap.—Evening Press.
