A football match, Matukana v. Kitikati was pliyoil last Saturday in Mr. Preston's paddock, ia the late township, resulting in n win for the visitors of 3 points to nil, The Maoris woroingront form', and at times pl.iyad brilliantly. Mr. Boswell, fdioollnasisr, rvas roloreo, and gave onfciro satisfaction. Tho ronnion of tho old. settlors who landed in Katikati thirty years ago, to be he'd in Ilia hall on tbe 15th inst,, promises to bo ono of the biggest functions in tho social lino which has over taken pluco in tho district, ltis estimated that tho hall will bo far too small for the mimbors who are coming from tho' (our windj of the province, A large marquee will bo crcctod to provide additional room. The following is from the Wellington fine LrtHCc:-"Nino; hundred redheaded women of Melbourno hwe formed n club, its olpject being to tight tho sneors that are always burlod at tho possessor ol " unburn gilt" thatch, And yoi thoro lias ncyor been scon a lunatic** with red hair! The greatest aitis;s havo simply gloried in carrots, and Kembrandi's mastcrpieco is '! Ginger." Eod hair shows tho possession bj thfi woarer of much iron in tho system. Thus a rod-hooded girl is always oncrgotie, loves with passion, bates with ditto, is noyor really tired, raivly gets consumption—-mil rarely n'.taiua to any eminence, Tho healthiest people havo red hair and frecklon, tho groatost female beauties of tho world bavo had red hair, and if a man wants to hoar a really good criticism of himself ho ought to stroll in a'nongßt those nine hundred " carrots " in Melbourne. He will eomo out without hair of any kind. An inspection of tho plato glass window of Mr, A, R, Turner's confoctionorv works wiU give somo idea of the high nature of what can be obtained in the manufacture of goods from barley sugar, Therein is displayed, under different chssilieations, an as»orl,mont of sweota which punnlos one how so much variety can bo obtained fron plain krloy sugar and gelatine. Persian lollie, French nougat, American Bos?, pineapple rock, and many other lollies on show aro corapossd entirely of sue-ar, with the addition of delica'.o flavourings. In the manufacture of goods fiom gelatine aro scores of varieties, which emphasises hoW much can bo done with gelatine as a bisis of product, Tho works would do credit to a ciiy, not alono a town tho size of Waihi, Practically,' everything in the way of sweets inay bo obtained from the Waihi. Confectionery Works.

A firo took place last oyenin" about 7.30 o'clock in a two-roomed building used as a store-room by Mr R, Hancock, Broadway, at the back of his piivato residence Tho building contained chaff, potatoos, tea, butler, olc, mid was completely gutted, though tho stock wbb only partially' destroyed. Tho firo is supposed to have originated in some rubbish which had been | burned during the morning. No ono had been in ilio building, which was a very old one, during the afternoon, Mr Hancock was up town at tho time, and ww much surprised on hearing that his building was on firo. The firo brigade did splendid work by preventing the total destruction of tho building and stock, but owiug to the dry naturo of the titnbor, tho tire appeared to got a good h'old in a very short epaco of time, Tho insurances are £4O on the stock and £2O on'tho building, in the Imperial office.. We understand tho dam- j ago altogether amounts to about £3O, ,

.Thus Chrisichnrch Truth: -"Or.Lauratted again, Tho facility witjli wliich G. Laurenson changes his coat is worthy of the highest admiration. 'Phctn never was a lightning changa artist who could compete with G, Lauroiison. Ho stands alono a rconnmonlal oxamplo of the extraordinary iDgoptiiiy of ihe professional politician, Si's years ago G, Laurenson itvas an independent; then, seeing politcal preferment in front of him, ho bocame a Seddoniie: next ho quarrelled with E. J. Scddon rivee a little matter in connection with a slander suit, and becamo a" New Liberal," Now ho has quarrollod with tho New' Liberals, and is a Sbddonite onco more. Six years ago G, Imnrpnson was an anii-proliibition--Ist, and said so; now G. Laurenson bo lieyes in prohibition, flo becamo converted when ho discovered that a majority of his constituents voted that way last olcclion, A year o: two ago G, Liiuronsoii bo. ioTod in hnd revaluation and tho fair rent proposal. Now G. Laurenson assorto that he doesn't approve of cither, Verily a fine stamp of politician this!"
