On the evening of the 7th inst. a return ball was given to the bachelors by the young ladies of Ohaupn, in the Public Kail. Theitj were over sixty couples present, im-luding visit.••■•* from Cambridge, Kihikihi, To Awamut i, and Hamilton. The evening passed off most successfully, and reflects tho greatest credit on the committee, which was comprised wholly of voting ladies, with Miss Karl us Hon Sec. Miss North, of Te Awamutn, was, by general opinion, voted the I)i4lb. and she must indeed fnel proud of that position among so many charming ladies. The music, which was all that could he desired, was supplied by Messrs A Wallace and A. Jones.

From a private letter we have seen it would appear as if the Education Commissioners are at hut going to take some steps t'i deal with the reserve uf about 1"i0 aci-PR in Hamilton Ea4. It was pointed out at a liUe meeting jf the Hamilton Borough Council that this reserve was becoming Covered with furze, and was u source of danger t-> surrounding proper tv. A letter to this effect was sent to the Commissioners from the Council, mid Mr Coat-js also interview them on the subject. They are now enquiring as to the cost of clearing and cutting the land up into sections of from 15 to 20 iicr<is each, and no doubt the work will shortly be taken in hand.

Good Enough.—The following interesting little morsel is from Patea : A lady of the cl;is* usually designated " old maid " had reached the allotted span of three score and ten, and feeling far from well, was receiving a visit from her pet pari-h minister, when, referring to her stite nf health, she remarked. "I can't expect to stay here much longer, but shall soon be resting on Judas' bosom." The minister was evidently not quite satisfied with the good lady's ecriptiiril knowledge, and replied, " Ob, no. Miss Blank n>>t .FiuU-i' hnsom, but Abraham'.-?." "Oh, well," replied the good old dame, " if yv.i'd been single as lone as I have you wouldn't mind which of 'em ? s bosom it win."— County Press.

M'ss Maud Nixon, of the Hamilton Eist school, received a pleasant surprise la<t Sunday week when visiting her hnm- in Cambridge. She went to the Wesleyan Church at the morning service, and was asked to join the choir, at which she was not surprised a* she had been organist at that place of worship for fiv« years piv.Tious to her coming to Hamilton. She, however, was surprised when the service was concluded to find that only a few left the building, and greatly astonished when Mm trt>.> Circuit Stewards presented her with a travelling bag and inkstand as « ylijrhfc recognition of the gratniti.ms services she had rendered as orgmiist during the iih'ive-inentinned term. The presentation w;n ma-lii by Messrs li. Reynolds and J. G.ne, mi behalf of the members of the church. Miss Xixun made a verv neat litt'e speech thankingthe donors, and said the playing had been to her a lahour of love. She astonished everyone by the fluency with which she spoke.

The hon. secretary of the Hamilt'Ui Crmksfc Cluti h:is asked us to remind members and intruding members nf the. meeting which is to be held to-night in Thk WaikatoTimks Buildings, for the purpose of making arrangements for the forthcoming season. The ground on Sydney Square ia in course of preparation for play, having been levelled, top-dressed, and well rolled, a good dose of manure and grass seed having been thrown in with thn s'.il used for filling in ; so that the great objection to an uneven hard eround such a,* had to be used formerly will be removed, it being the opinion of many did players that a really eood pitch or two will be obtainable, and en render the game on the Square free from danger. A number of new men have signified thoir intention of becoming member-", whilst most of the old ones are still "on the job " so that the Hamilton club expects to be able ite.iiii t> hold their own against the other district teams. With the advent of several promising young players the gams should next season become nv.rn popular than heretofore. We might mention that to Mr P.iixt.ol), of the Royal Hotel, is due the credit of putting the oround in ordpr, he having undertaken tho job entirely at his own cost.

The residents in Hamilton in nnrticnlar, and the public generally in Waiknto, will regret to hear that Constible Murray is under orders to proceed 11 Rotorna, to relieve Unintalile Cahill, who takes up his duties in Hamilton. Constable Murray is an old and tried officer, and considering fiat f,.r some years past lm has be-n acting in the capacity of detective in addition to his ordinary police, duties, it is not out or- |.l ice to say, tha , : wo are surprised that the d ■partmenl should have pitched upon Constible Hfurray to send to such an unimportant station as Rotrun, Constable Murray U a very old Waikato identity a,,d being so, he is well acquainted with every nook anil _ coner of the district as well as the inhabitants and when anything goes wrong he has in consequence a fairly L'ood notion where to look for the delinquent and knows in what channels to direct enquiries for information. It is easy to nndeistand how important and valuable knowledge of this kind is in the detection of crime. "\V rt Ciinnot help feeling that the dep.-u-r.mpnt are unawaiv. of the exceptional qualification Constable Murr.iy oosse.s<es in being at hand to the Inspector to act with I'loiopti'udo j,, casos ~f emergency, and in »li pro labilitv if proper representations I wi re in-id-i si.me oth-r arrangement would ! be mad: to r.;li,;ve the ouisttble at Rotol'Uii.

A Reign of Terror on the Wyoming Handles. —A veritable r i K n of terror is reported to prevail in Wymninp, and especially in the northern portion of the .State, wero the cattle- owners are at the mercy of an orff.inised cmspii-.tcy of citr.lo thiovPH. It is danper.Miß for an owner to venture into the district, an.l if lie rends a representative the man has to pass his examination before a committee of tho ' rustlers. . One manager has been shot, and many others liuve (led after beint; threatened, their sola offence being tlm they were too honest to suit the thieves. It is openly stated tli.it the authorities in one county are in league with the cattle stealors, and that no jury can be found to try one of the thieves fairly, a conviction for .-.tealinfc cuttle being unknown. The catrlemen have combined for tho urotoction of their propeity, but are powerless at present tograpule with the widespread organisation of the desperadoes.
