Tbe Greytown Rifle Volunteer Match Committee are requested to meet tomorrow evening to arrange the proposed match with the Wellington Guards. Some extraordinary applications come up sometimes at the Benevolent Committee meetings. At Dunedin a woman asked fit boots for her daughter, in addition to reled She had no less than nine i-hgilimate children, the two oldest of whom are nearly men. yet did not give her support. The application was declined. Several applicants asked to be dealt with in a liberal manner and iu looking at the circumstances the Chairman said be wondered they had not asked for a baggy and pair and a box at tbe operp.

The Greytown ranger, Mr D. Cameron,met with an accident yesterday afternoon at Moroa. He waa turning the corner of Cross' Line and Kempton’s Bead, when he dropped tbe reins upon his horse to light bis pipe. The horse gave a sudden start and unseated his rider, the old gentleman falling heavily and receiving severe cuts about tbe face. Professor Morley, homeopathist, was driving past after the accident, and he pulled up. Having bis needles with him he bathed the head of the sufferer and sewed np a deep cut. Mr Cameron was able to walk home and last night, under the care of Dr Bey, he was getting along favourably. Tbe fall was a heavy one, and being well on in years Mr Cameron feels its effects today. The Wholesale Drapery Company of Mastertou has a new announcement in out columns today. This company has a most extensive stock in their handsome new building. This new establishment, which is a great ornament to the town, is under the management of Mr P. Dickon, the managing partner, and that gentleman has some great novelties in drapery and other lines to offer. At a meeting of the Land Board held the other day, Mr McCardle moved, “ That a deputation of the Board should wait upon Govnruiuont with a view to having the Maugataiaoko lands withheld from sale until the railway lino is surveyed, aud the recreation reserve is set aside.” The motion waa seconded by Mr Bectham and eanied. The following notices of motion have been given by Mr Beethain for consideration at the next meeting of the Land Board :—l, That Government he requested to expend a sum of money for the pmpose of opening up Crown lands adjacent to Mauriceville West. 2. That the Board wishes to urge on the Government the advisability of surveyiog the Puketoi broken country with small rune at an early date. 8. That the land adjacent to Mauiiceville West should be surveyed as small runs, and should ho offered to the public ut an eailydate. 4.'That the Board strongly urges on the Land Department the necessity that exists for a branch Land t. flice at l’«bidua, and that all plans relating to land in that district should be provided for public inspection.

An impression has got abroad in Greytown that some of the residents have written to Mr 11. P Ward, tale assistant master in the school, asking him if lie would take the position of headmaster if a petition were circulated asking the Board to give him the appointment. We have made tiiquitits and find that ' tier to that tiled was sent and signed by four versons. It was tbeiciu slated that a compete: . would he required and svi’lb mo.-t tm-.enngly of the abilities cl Mr ’.VitMl, ill'll f? !he illgli esteem in which he was held. We have not seen the filtc, but Air .id’s reply has been handed lo us in winch he says : " The matter has, since you wrote, been decided in such it manner as ti obviite any such action as was sttggo.-ted, and 1 can only thunk both you and the others for their evidently fneuUly mentions towards me, as well as for the flaltetii g teims in which the letter was couched. Mayhap the warning so emphatically innp may have the desired effect, and Mr Ponitt will develope into a painstaking and devoted teacher crowned at last with success ; and should this happen no one would more sincerely congratulate him than I.” Since the above was pat in type we learn that the letter sent to the late assistant teacher was an ironical one. A second letter has been sent in reply informing him in no complimentary terms that the residents of Greytown would not have him at any price and expressing a hope that there may yet be an opening at Mount View. We give publicity to this matter for certain reasons wbich need not be stated here, but it would have been better if the first letter had not been written, for it has been shown to members of the Education Board by the recipient as a genuine one aud has also given rise to suspicions that there was some underhand work going on to get the present headmaster of Greytown removed, after all.

A son of Mr W R Thompson, of Greytown, was thrown trom a horse yesterday, and his arm was broken. Dr Bey has attended the lad, who is going about. A coach accident happened about ten miles from Wanganui yesterday, and several people, among them Captain Abbot, Mr Pieicy, Mr Allour, Messrs Cowper, Shaw, Fraser, (Rangitikei), were injured.

Feathcrston is still suffering much from the long drought; many of the resident! are compelled to go even as far as the Tuuherenikau river for their daily supply of water. Perhaps in a few days there will be au abundance.
