A youth named Thos. Archibald, who had recently arrived at New Plymouth from Auckland, was arrested at 2 o'clock yesterday morning on a charge of breaking and entering the counting house of the Union Steamship Co. and stealing a cash-box valued at 5s and 14s lOd, the property of tho Union Co., with £4 7s Id belonging to Mr Neale, the, ■ Com- i -pany's acting manager at New Plymouth.

A large audience assembled last night in the Drill Hall to witness the Taylor - Carrington humanised pictures. Although pictures/ are prac-| tically a new departure for this popular organisation, the name of j the Taylor-Carrington Co. is already remarkable for all that is entertain- j ing and instructive in this form of entertainment. Humor, pathos, and education were all in evidence in the beautiful pictures shown last evening:, Wilbur Wright's aeroplane, the motor car heroine and several of tlie comic pictures were most enthusiastically received by the audience. The management announced that they would pay a return visit to Dannevirke in- four weeks' time.
