Its perusal will repay the reader. The Greytown Weekly Assemblies at the Towh Hall, Greytown still attract a large number of dancers. Last Thursday Mr B. Bright officiated as M.G. for Mr J.

A meeting of persons interested in forming a Special Settlement on the Eastern Puketoi, between the Oahnugu and Aketeo rivers, will be held at Tenui on Wednesday, June 9th. The Daily understands that a number of young men residing at Tenui, who know the Puketoi country and its capabilities have made up their minds to settle it. We would advise persons in the neighborhood of Masterton who may be on the look out for good land to keep an eye on the Puketoi. There is we believe room for others, beside the Tiuui contingent, on this block, and as the Tinni men are practical settlers who understand thoroughly the advantages which this particular locality offers, it will be a safe thing to follow their lead. Mr Wardell, 8.M., is expected to again enter upon his official duties at Wellington this week. The bar paid a high compliment to Mr Stratford for the efficient way he has conducted the court business during Mr Warden’s illness.
