TE AROHA NOTES.

(by tele-rami.—own oorues'aondent.)

Te Aroha, this day, The residents of Te Aroha sent'as their re presentative, Mr James Mills, yester flay, to meet Mr Hudson, Railway Traffic Manager, at Hamilton, and urgo tho importance of tht earlier arrival of tho train at Morrinsvillo especially in tho winter season. Mr Hudson expressed himself anxious to assist the interests of Te Aroha os far as possible, and prom ied to urge Government to despatch a second train on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to arrive at Morrinsvillc about 3.30. This would suit well.

_Mr Mills was also deputed to wait on Mr Livingstone, contractor for the completion of the lino, to see what could be done towards having the railway bridge ap proach formed for road traffic the first thing. Mr Livingstono holds n meoting here to morrow night. Mr O'Connor, Under secretary, is also here.

An adjourned meeting of creditors in Peel's bankrupt estato was held last night, when Mr John Grey, mineral water manu facturer, Auckland, one of the creditors bought the whole oatato for £347, f abject to a mortgagee by Charles Ahier for £200. This is equal to 4s in the £ to unsecured creditors. The other creditors present obiected to tho low offar. Mr Grey held proxies for A. Heather, and Isaac Peel and Co., of Auckland.

Profesaor Rice, in tho Public Hall, Te Aroha, last night, had a crowded attend ance, and the entortainmont was most suc cessful.

The members of St, David's Mutual Improvement Society met last evening in tho school-room, Mr Angus in the chair. There was a good attendance. Mr Knight, Secretary, submitted the rules, which wore considered seriatim, and soyeral amend ments having been made, were passed. Lectures, debates, essays, and criticisms are promised by members. The subject for next Tuesday is " Life under the Mosaic Law," by Mr McKenzie. Thirty members have been enrolled.

To the Editor : Sir,—l should like to ask through your columns what has become of the Auckland Naval Artillery Band. It is Homo time since they have shown them selves, and I believe they are about 35 strong, and practise regularly once a week. I believe it's the best drum and fife band in Auckland, but unless tbemembersgetnotice, they never appear at the drill-shed or anywhere else. Whereas they ought not only to attend at the Drill-shed, but ought to be provided with arml?. In my opinion there is nothing to beat a good drum and fife band, and our N avals deserve ono. There is something wrong somewhere, and tho sooner it is altered the better. The idea of a naval corps marching behind always to a brass band when they have a first-class drum and fife band of their own. It is all very well for other corps, but not for navals. I hope, sir, the Company will take tho matter up and insist upon the band turning out, also to wake up those who might, perhaps, bo rather dilatory in their duties.—Yours, &c, Old Naval.

It seems that the blamo for dismissing tho city schools on Monday afternoon does not rest with the headmasters at all, but with the Chairman of the City School's Committee, from whom they received specific instructions. We therefore hnsten to make the amende honorable. So far from the teachers desiring the holiday, several of them were actually opposed to it. Mr Worthington (Wellesley-street School) was the last to bo instructed on the subject, and the direction was made to him vetbally during the dinner-hour after he had ex pressly requested the various teachers of his school to inform tho scholars that there was to be no half-holiday. The same in formation he had himself communicated to the highest class. As a consequence, of Mr Gorrie's directions,the children, upon r )-assembling, were dismissed for the after noon. Instead of favouring an increase of extraordinary holidaySjMessrs Worthington, Harrison (Beresford - stroet School), and Hart (Nelson - street School) hold strong views lipon the inadvisability of dismissing their schools upon such purely formal holi days as St. George's and St. Andrew's Days, and Messrs Worthington and Harrison have before now made representations upon this very subject. ' They are constrained, however, by the regulations of the Board of Education. There can be no doubt of the Boundnoss of the position they have takon up with respect to these sainta' days. St. Patrick's Day is the only one of them which is in any sense a public holiday, and that too, chiefly, on account of the religious and patriotic fervour with which it is cele brated by a section of the community. Tho Ponsonby and several other suburban schools received no half-holiday on Monday, but the example of the city schools affected materially the attendance. The Skyeand other Hebridean crofters are determine-, if possible, to return an ultra-Liberal member for Invernesshire, at the next general election, who will satis factorily represent their grievances in the Imperial Parliament. The candidate of their choice in this matter is Mr Duncan Cameron, proprietor of the "Oban Times," in Argyleßhire, who has lately addressed large'y-attended meetings of electors in Skye and other parta of the county of In verness. Ho is a crofter's son, and a pro mising young man in politics. His paper —which is ably edited—advocates land laws for the Highlands that are, to a certain extent, analogous to the ancient land laws of Israel. A few years ago Mr G. Gladstone stated at a public meeting in Edinburgh that the work ing classes should endeavour to return members to Parliament from their own ranks, and thus preclude the legislation of. the country north of the Tweed from being wholly entrusted to the nobility and lairds thereof, aB has been mostly the case since the union of Scotland with England.

An invention which should be of great service in quenching incipent outbreaks of flro has just been introduced into New Zea land. This is a "hand grenade _firo extinguisher," the patent of an American inventor, which are now extensively manu factured in London. " The Field " says :— "Bach grenade is a glass flask of moderate stoutness, filled with a saline solution that evolves a large quantity of carbonic acid gas when broken and heated. This at once extinguishes the flame with which it come in contact, whilst the saline bodies, melting and forming a glaze on the heated materials, render them incapable of further combustion. Large fires, made with wood drenched with paraffin oil, were irfstantly extinguished by one or two of this invention being thrown with sufficient force againßt the burningmaterials to break and scatter the contents. Of the efficacy of this invention against fires at their commencement there can be no possi ble doubt; with these grenades at hand, which are capable of being used by any person, the great majority of fires would be extinguished at the very commencement. Mf John Bain, at Messrs T. and S. Morrin and Company's has been appointed New Zealand agent for the hand grenades, which are on extensive uses in the chief London Theatres, and in many hundreds of mer cantile establisbimentg-in'England.

The second prize for butter at the Cal cutta exhibition was awarded for a fane sample of American oleomargarine Some one spofled a good joke, and the judges re considered their award.

Large quantities of the finest timber oan be readily obtained from Kaipara and Wai takerei and contracts havo already been entered into for the purchase and delivery of a regular supply. on tho nioßt advan tageous terms. A considerable trade is at present being done, which is capable of in deflnito expansion by the employment of additional plant and capital. Additional machinery has already been ordered from England, and is expected to arrive in about six weeks, which will enable tho Cqm- Eany to keep paco with its rapidly extending usiness. Tho fi.OOO Bhares referred to are offorod te the public for the purpose of provid ing funds to pay for the machinery ordered, and to enablo the Company to take advantage of any opportunities that may offer for an increase of business.
