We have received 10s from Mr J. KING and 5s from Mr Duncan MILNE, of Matamau for the PALLEN fund.

Bread is very much cheaper in Woodville than in any other place in Hawke's Bay. The 2 lb loaf is being sold there at 2d.

We are glad to learn that Mr C. JOHNSON, who was crushed between two trucks at the Spit on Thursday last, was able to leave the hospital on Saturday well on the road to recovery. He has had a wonderfully narrow escape.

At a sale of pedigree stock on Friday last, four Lincoln ram boggets, the property of Mr Thomas TANNER, were sold to Mr J. MARTIN, the price realised being 44½ guineas for the quartette. Mr D. M'HARDY sold a two-tooth stud Lincoln ram to Mr D. BISHELL at 25 guineas.

Mr and Mrs P. GOW returned to Waipukurau on Saturday by the express train from Wellington after a trip to the Old Country. They were met on the platform by a number of friends, and welcomes were exchanged. Both Mr and Mrs GOW are in the best of health, and have greatly benefited by the trip.

Mr T.P. RUSSELL and family are now back at Woburn, where they arrived on Thursday last. Mr RUSSELL looks remarkably well. They were met upon arrival at the station by a large number of settlers, and at night there was a big "home coming." A triumphal arch was erected at Woburn, and there were great rejoicings.

A representative of the HERALD was on Saturday shown over Mr IRELAND's dyeing and cleaning works in Emerson street. They are very complete, possessing the fullest convenience for promptly and capably carrying out all descriptions of such work........

The chess match by telegraph between the Napier and Gisborne clubs was commenced at the Athenaeum on Saturday evening, the following being the Napier players:-

Dr. JARVIS and Messrs WILSON, RIDDELL, PIRANI, HINDMARSH, junr., EVANS, J. DINWIDDIE, HINDMARSH, senr., LARGE, and BELL. Mr PIRANI was appointed captain, and Messrs DEAN and ADAMS acted as supervisors.....The contest will be resumed next Saturday evening.
