We understand $tae Key. C. G^ustad intends delivering a lecture on yaccmanext week. At the present time, such a lecture will no doubt draw together a large audience. Mr James Miller of the City Butchery advertises a four»rnomed cottage and a garden to let. Thj premises are situate on the Eangitikei line near the Breweiy. It is rumored that a blander case is likely to arise out of the elections m one o£ the neighbouring electoral districts, owing to some ill-advised language used regarding one of the candidates on the election day. A layer's letttr has been forwarded to the offeuder, and it will depend greatly on tbe answer re ceived whether tbe charge will laid or not. Aa the facts will be made public m due course when the case is brought on, we do no* consider it advisable at the present time to mention names. — Wanganui HeraldOn ."Tune 12th (says an English paper a ditiiibance took i lace at 'E_sin«itwi Lane between two sections of Christ's Ar ny, one section belonging to Hotton and tbe .otaer Easingtori, Until wi'hiu a few porijbs agp these two sections were ponnip£ed wjth Salvation Army, but seceded from '■'fireneral" Bootb'fl army and instituted ••Chijst'g The Easinirton Lane people claim to be a separate body and the Iletton Section consequently c'aim the right of posession of the Eatingion Barracks, and on Tuesday the Hetton army assembled m full force and proceeded to Easington, where t^ey found the latter body con* ductipg tjje prdinary evening service, Admission was dp&ied the Hetton con' tingent, and a disturbance arope, m which some hundreds of men and women participated. Tbe fight for adI mission continued tor a long time amid I a scene of indescribable confusion.sticks, stones, and fisfs were freely used, and some very ugly cuts and blows are reported.

Judging from the number of petitions presented to the Palmerston Borough Council last evening, it will coon be necessary for that body to appoint a Public Petitions Committee. By advertisement m another column it will be seen that a treat is m store for the play-goers .of Palmerston Mr Fred Millis, who has been delighting large audiences m Christchurch, Wellington and Wairarapa with his entertainment entitled "The "VWdding Breakfast," will appf a m1 * m the Forester's Hall to-morrow and Saturday evenings.

The Post of Tuesday last contains an article strongly nrging the strict enforce* ment of quarantine on vessels arriving from infected ports. In the course of its remarks our contemporary says : — smallpox we have, happily, here* "to'fore been free. Once we were threatened with it. A Panama steamer arrived here with the infection on board, but thore was then no hesitation m en* forcing tbe strictest quarantine. The passengers were transferred to the Ladybird, as a place of residence, and were, I for a considerable period, anchored off .Kalwarra. After their release a case of tbe disease was supposed to be detected m tbe Bangitikei district, and the sufferer, a negro, who bad arrived by the steamer, was promptly "isolated" so ef> ectually that he died, more, it was believed, from the effects of his treatment than from smallpox. There was nothing said then about tbe disturbance of trade which must result from enforcing quarantine. The Government of the day considered, and rightly so, that the preservation of the public health was tbe primary consideration to which all others must yield. Not so tbe present Government. They have deliberately allowed the public health to be jeopardised, how seriously no one can yet tall, because they dare not do their duty and interpose tbe obstacle of quarantine m * the way of steam . communication with Australia.
