In this issue Mr R. T- Selby, Medical herbalist, ot Sydney, publishes a new advertisement. A statement is made m last night's Standard that the M.S S. of Mr Snel son's speech was withheld from that paper. The simple facts are that Mr Snelson gave our representative the document at the meeting and it was put m the printer's hands the first thing, and sent to Mr Snelson at half-past ten yesterday morning. Now, mark the sequel. The composite. i_ our office omitted to set the last part of it, which was on the back. At 1? o'clock, or shortly after, Mr Snelson asked the Standard people for a return of the copy when finished ; but they said it was not set ; later on he asked again, and they said a boy had begun it and would not be done for an hour ; Mr Snelson then sent his clerk m to copy the last j part for us, but the party m charge, an . individual known to fame by the classic name of Grigg, refused to allow even this, and Mr Snelson "as compelled to write it a secopd time from his rough notes tbe original not bggag returned to us from the Standard office till ten minutes past four, or _| hours after we seat it away, although thei c was not 1 more than an hour's work m tbe whole

lot. The public now know where th discourtesy came m, although we are no suprised, for you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, nor is it wise to expect a sweep to be a model of cleanli' ness. About 5000 sheep, purchased by tbe Gear Company for refrigerating, have been " stuck up" on the boundaries of the "W airarapa district, owing to some runs south of Akiteo, through which tbi y would have to pass, being infected and the Inspector consequently refusing to <rrant a permit. Rear<Admiral Wilson, writing to a friend m Sydney on the anncxa 'ion question, expresses the cpinion that, though it is very doubtful whether the British Government will go as fa:' as io formally annex, it is not unlikely that a protectorate will be established, which would have the effect of keeping out foreigners until such times as, from the introduction of British subjects and interests into individual islands or groups, they have developed sufficiently to be made into Crown colonies. A picture of a hurooious nature from the brush of Mr Young, is to be raffled at Fentons' Boyal Hotel, on Saturday evening by forty members at 2s 6d each. On the application of the police an an order was made by the R.M. at Feilding, on Wednesday, prohibiting vendors of intoxicating liquors from supplying Samu.l Rowley with drink for the space of twelve months, the order to be m force m Feilding, Palmerston, Bulls and Halcombe. Mr Gr. M- Snelson announces that on Tuesday next he will offer without reserve, the stock-in-trade furniture, and equity ot redemption of the property of Mr H.Graff. An alteration is made m the advertisement of the emigrant aed Colonists' Aid Corporation. It is notified that no corns mission will be charged for advances made by the Corporation. The Rev Father McManns, aho is to take «he place of the Rev Father Carew m this district is expected to arrive here by the evening train from Wanganui. An altered advertisement from the Palmerston Ready Money Store, announcing the arrival of second shipment of Job Drapery will appear to-morrow.
