It ie now time that the residents of Grey-, town aroused themselves as to the necessity oi procuring a suitable fire engine for the use of the borough. At the outbreak ot a flee the other night, one man dragged the go cart ot a machine that represents an engine out of the shed, and in his excitement must have tried to carry it under the arm to the see no of the conflagration, for the next seen of the man and toy engine was both oi them lying capsized in the gutter mar the Town JI ill. Il is a most extraordinary circumstance that a town of the size and importance of Greytown, with amain street ot over a mile long, and with houses in such close contiguity to each other, should not have a suitable fire engine to battle with such a formidable enemy as fire. We have a good and thoroughly efficient Volunteer Brigade, and when a large fire breaks out, their efforts are paralysed through the absence of proper apparatus to work with. Mr Clapcott gave a most interesting lecture, interspersed with some humorous and pathetic readings and recitations, to a limited audience at the Foresters’ Hall, Greytown, on Friday night. Of course Mr Clapcott’s fame as an elocutionist is too well known to require any allusion to by us. His arguments in favor of Life Assurance were conclusive and unanswerable.

Sir William Fox, KOMG, the noted pollclan and temperance enthusiast, and Mr T W Glover, the witty and eloquent temperance advocate, are to address public meetings in the Wairarapa this week as follows : Carterton, Town Hall, Wednesday evening ; Featherston, Oddfellows’ Hall, Thursday evening; and Greytown, Town Hall, on Friday evening.

They have been very successful elsewhere, and it is believed they will be so here. The meetings wo expect will be crowded, for it is not often the Wairarapians have the opportunity of hearing speakers so noted and eloquent.

American exchanges are recommending the use of sugar and salt for butter, taking one part sugar to three parts salt; then use of this mixture 1 oz. to the lb. It is said not only to improve the flavour, but also increase its keeping qualities. The butter that took first prize at the Indiana State fair 30 years ago was preparedjust in that way ; and we can testify to the excellence of this sample and many others from the same source.
