The Hon. Mr Bolleston will not come on to Palmerston. He left Eketahuna to-day m a buggy en route for Master" ton. 1 The deputations which were lying m wait for him here will no doubt experience a feeling of disappointment. \. We understand that Mr Jamts King has accepted an important appointment m connection with the Palmerston Ready MoDey Store. We have no doubt Mr King's business qualities will find * fair field tor their exercise, an«*. we congratulate him upon again getting into harness. Prom our telegrams it will be seen that Wanganui and Wellington have re- ; jected the Messrs Hutcbison — fathetf and son — who aspired to the Mayo al! chairs of these two centres. The candi-i date for the Wellington Majoralty has! received a crushing defeat, which bodes; but ill for his chance of re-election to' the House, while it may be taken to in* dicate that Mr Fisher will prove a very formidable opponent, should he contest; the seat. The Hansard reporter has again proved victorious, though thepress of the Empire City was arrayed against him. The Wauganui candidate, though only beaten by a narrow majority will no doubt take the result as a hint that it will not be prudent for him to contest the seat for Wanganui at next election. At the sitting of the District Court yesterday m bankruptcy, orders of discharge were granted to the following : — J. King, W. O'Donnell, J.I A. Weight, C. Dahl, Pemberton, and Bugs Bros. We learn that last night Mr James Linton was a, little better, but became much worse again to-day. His condition is very critical and his medical advisers have enjoined complete rest for some ' to come. We wish him a speedy j restoration to health. Mr Walton informs us that Mr Linton was slightly better tb's afternoon. At the District Court yesterday, the case of Taylor v Hammond was concluded.

On the application of plaintiff leave was given to amend by describing defendant as executor $nd trustee of the will of Matthew Hammond. Judgment was recorded for plaintiff for £13 17s, no order being made for costs. The upper house of the Convocation of Canterbury has passed a motion urging clergyman to di scourge any movement to substiute unfermented foi fermented wines at the communion. A Detroit specialist who devotes his attention to the reformation of victims of intemperance tells a terrible ule of the power of drink when once it gains the mastery over man. None but men of strong physical constitutions can be* come hard drinkers, he says, and expect ever to reform. As showing the advancement of our Colonial Industries, we are pleased to state that the goods produced by the Kaipaoi woollen mills are attracting great attention m Australia. A representative from the mills has just returned from dlelbourne after having disposed of large parcels of clothing &c. m every town he called at. The goods this mill is now producing are superior to anything that can be produced m any other mill m the colonies. Bently Bros have just received aspecial lot of clothing made specially to their order by the Kaiapoi Company, which they now offer at Sale Prices, Those m want of a cheap suit of clothes made of good all wool Tweed should at once call on them at their address, Marlborough House, the Square,-— Abvt. Never Return .-—lt is said that one out of every four real invalids who go to foreign countries to recover health never returns, except as a corpse. The undertakers, next to the hotel-keepers, have the most profitable business. This excessive mortality may be prevented and patients saved and cured under the care of friends and loved ones at home, if they will but Tise Hop Bitters m time* Read. '
