They complain T f L W av in which affairs generally are ad ministered by Major Noake: they complain f the preposterous delay of Government in making them the promised advances o* money on their land ; and now this native utter comes as a culmination to the whole. The excitement may calm down, as our cOn tpniDorary supposes it will, but we would not Jlvise the Government to trust to such a Jenkins of the Wairoa Rifles wa3 riding some days ago between Kakara mea and Patea he met with an accident in a virions way. It came on to rain, and to save £s from a ducking, he got off and took nelter in a flax bush, holding his horse by the bridle.

HAWKE'S BAY.

The sale of the township of Gisborne, Poverty Bay, came off on Wednesday, when £2000 was realised, and about another £1000 worth was to be taken up next clay.

TARANAKI.

There is no news of importance from Tara nalii. The Opunake Flax Company have commenced operations. The contractor has been prevented from commencing to build the bridge over Stony River, through the interference of some natives. Mr. Grey, who was employed to cut the embankment, was ordered to stop, and he has consequently come into town. The Civil Commissioner, who has gone to Waingongoro on business connected with the road-making, will, it is hoped, be able to make such arrange-, ments as to provent further interruption for the future.

OTAGO.

The.Government of Otago have offered a rewai'd.iof £50 for the discovery of the perpe trators of the late outrage on the Chinese, at Moonlight Gully. Another Result of Boiling'Down.—Mr Ludlam, the celebrated flockmaster at the Hutt, recently sent 320 sheep to Major Edwards' boiling-down establishment at Pori rua.. The sheep were very fat, and took two days driving from the Hutt to Porirua. Their average weight was 140 lbs. ; one stag ram weighed the enormous amount of 188 lbs. The result of the boiling down, in this case, was a net price of 253 for every sheep.

CITY BOARD.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the City Board of Commissioners was held at the office, Canada Buildings, yesterday afternoon, at 2 o'clock.. Present—Messrs. Philips (chair man), Bugden, George, Finlay, and Asher. On account of its! being a public holiday it was resolved to postpone the formal business until tomorrow. Tho accounts were passed, how ever, the wages cheques signed, and the following, tenders for improvements in Wel lington-street were opened: — Alexander Fraser, £77 55.; Nelson Ireland, £53 ; Allan Maguire, £72 10s.; Abel Fletcher, £48 ; and Abraham Fletcher, £45. The last-named tender was accepted. The Board then adjourned.

Philosophers say that shutting the eyes mates the sense of hearing more acute, A wag suggests that this accounts for the many closed eyes that are seen in church every Sunday. "Mother, did you hear sissy swear?" "No, my dear, what did sho sayr"' "Why she said she wasn't going to wear her darned stockings to church on Sunday." Notice to the Trustees—ln the Depart ment of Natural History at the British Museum there is a serious deficiency. There are nests of all sorts and sizes, birds' nests, wasps' nests, &c. ; but not a single specimen of a mare's nest. This is a great disapoint ment to country visitors. A Miss Lucy advertises in a Mississippi paper that she " is of good birth and education, and is willing to mary an editor, believing her seli able to support one." Successful Men.—The men I have seen succeed ttirat in life have always been cheerful and hop^d men, who went about their business wjth a smile on their face, and took the changw and chances of their mortal life like men facing rough and smooth alike «ts it ame, and so fomid the truth of the old proverb, that " Good times, and bad times, and all times pass oYcr."—lGngsley. A New Kind o_- Bobbery.—We hear that a young lady has had the whole of her hair cut off in broad daylight in Westbourne Grove, one of the most crowded streets in London. The theft was so cleverly per formed that she was quite unconscious of it until her roturn home, although her bonnet string was cut through and her net divided into three piecos,., It is said that tho practice is becoming common, more especially in omni buses.
