Mr Ballance's withdrawal of the demand for cash security deposits trim foreign insurance companies doing business in New Zealand has given satisfaction in financial circles at home. Visitors to Cambridge during the next few davs are invited by Mr Kincaid to inspect his stock, which is being smd at ridiculously low prices. Some remarkable bargains in drapery, clothing, boots, &c., are to be obtained, even in these days ot forced sales by auction, and at prices that will compare favourably with them. The Hale is now on in the premises adjoining the Bank ot New Zealand, Cambridge.

We would remind our readers in the Raglan district of the clearing sale of Mr J. B. Somerset's furniture and effects to be held by Mr John Knox on the premises, Mangatawhiri, on Saturday n»xt.

Yesterday we were shown a good sized fish caught in the Waikato River at the back of Mr Le Quesne's store, Hamilton East, which, as far as we can judge, is a " Prussian carp." Somo years ago, after a fresh in the river had subsided, numbers of these fish, very much smaller than the one referred to above, were left behind in the pools, and afforded considerable sport to the youngsters catching them.

Ye3terday morning Mr Thomas Hickey blacksmith at Mm-rinsville, met with a serious accident whili shoeing a horse belonging to Mr Marshall.

Mayes' name appears on the programme but he will not be present, the programme was unfortunately in the printer's hands before a final reply had been received from Mr Maves hence the error.

Considerable annoyance has for some time past been caused to the Worshippers at St. Petei's church, Hamilton, by the congregation of youths outside the building, who by their noises and pranks seek to divert the attention of those inside. Last week a complaint was made to the police on this head, and on Sunday evening Constable Murray visited the church during servieo and came across two lads who were amusing themselves knocking on tho windows. The constable was able to identify both of them, and it is to be hoped that proceedings will ba taken against them, so as to make an example of them. Both'lads are sons of respectable parents and from whom better things might have been expected. It is to be hoped their appearance before the Magistrate will have tho effect of leading them into better ways.
