it is to be hoped that the Greytown lieserve will, by degrees, be used in many ways. At present it is in a rough state, but to morrow there will be a working bee composed of the sports committee, cricketers, footballers, tiro brigade, and the public generally, to put the ground in order for the sports on St Patrick’s Day, and to erect the fence.

A special meeting of the Greytown Town Lands Trust was held on Wednesday evening for the purpose of signing the voter’s list.

I A meeting of the creditors in W, J. Gamoiin’s estate will lie held to-day at 2 o’clock at Masterton. It seems strange that the meetings in connection with a Groytown bankrupt should ho held in Mastcrtun. Nearly all the creditors are residing in this town, and it is enough to he a creditor without losing time in going such a distance.

I The conversazione held in Wellington in honor of Cardinal Moran was a very brilliant affair. The drill shed, which was superbly decorated for the occasion, was filled to the doors, about 1500 persons being present.

In many parts of the north branch of the Ashburton river, the water has entirely disappeared, and a large quantity of fish have perished in consequence. The other day over fifty trout were found dead in the river bed. A correspondent signing himself “ Stiletto,” in our last issue found fault with an officer ot the Greytown Working Men’s Club for giving the custodian orders not to supply refreshments to a friend who presented himself at the bar in company with a member. We have been asked to state that the “ friend” was a suspended member, and this is why the executive of the institution prohibited the custodian from supplying the refreshment.

A fire broke out in the bakeiy of Mr Mclntyre, Tory street, Wellington. Messrs Edward Tolley and Jacob Eversleigb happened to be passing when the fire broke out, and with ths help of a garden hose, procured from Mr W. it. Waters next door, subdued the flames. The damage is about £IOO. Another lire broke shortly after the first was put out, iu a lane near where the first occurred, but was extinguished before the cottage sustained much damage. A telegram from Sydney states that the Lithgow Valley Colliery is still burning, and all the efforts to reach the lire proved unavailing. The ventilation of the mine is now being closed. The funerals of the deceased men were largely attended, and subscriptions are being raised for their families.

The Now Zealand frozen fish which arrived at Sydney by lust steamer was at first regarded with suspicion by buyers on account of being of an unusual brown color, but when it was shown this resulted from the effects of the ice, the fish were rapidly bought up—schnapper at from 18s to 21s per dozen ; squire (?), 8s to 10s ; flounders, 2s to Bs.

The humble bee has made itself at home in Canterbury, and has proved its usefulness by the fact that a held of red clover in which the insect has been at work is this season a perfect mass of seed, every head being completely full. Such a thing was, we believe, never known in the colony before.

Dr Bey has removed to bis handsome new residence in Main street, Greytown. It is one among several other private residences that bare lately been erected in the town, and is replete with every convenience. Greytown cricketers will be pleased to hear that Mr Cox, who will succeed Mr Ward as assistant teacher in the Greytown school, knows howto handle “ the willow.” He was one of the players in the Wellington team against Napier in the match just concluded at Wellington. To-morrow on the cricket ground, the President of the Greytown cricket club will present Mr W. Judd with a bat in token of his valuable services in connection with the club from time to time We are glad to see merit recognised in this way, and in Mr J udd's case it can be said he has, at various times, proved himself, in bowling, batting and fielding, the saviour of his team in a match.

From high words they came to blows, and were separated by Oakley, Taylor’s partner. They closed again, and Midgley fell, striking his head against the wooden kerbing of the footpath. He was taken into his house, and Dr Patrick came, but the man died almost immediately. It does not appear that be was knocked down. Taylor gave himself up to the police immediately. It is not believed that he was previously at enmity with Midgley. A meeting of the Committee of the Greytowu Horticultural Society wee held at the Borough Council Chambers on Wednesday night.

Says the Napier Herald There is a " Littoral ” Government in power, because Messrs Vogel, Stout, Ballance and Co , say so, and their clacquers swell the chorus. But the same liberal Government are going to make the Friendly Societies pay property tax on their accumulations, while allowing local bodies and building societies to go Fee The '• Liberals" evidently have a very oldfashioned respect for what Tennyson sang of as " Proputtee, proputtee, proputtee, 1 ’ " Rough on Corns."
