To-morrow being a general holiday th Daily Telegraph will not be published. Wednesday, the 9th instant, being the Prince of Wales' birthday, the Post Office will be closed. The only case set down for hearing at the sitting of the District Court to be held on Thursday next is John Axford v. Smith and Walker. The principal telegraph offices throughout the colony will be opened botween 7-30 p.m. and 8 p.m. to-morrow (the 9th) for press purposes. We have been requested to notifiy _ that tho officers commanding tho Artillery Volunteers desire tho members attending the benefit for tho widow of Sergeant Stubloy to appear in uniform. It is reported at Waipawa that _Mr Johnston stated after his meeting last night that if ho could got out of his prosent " mess" ho would never enter upon the political war- path again. For everybody's sake wo hope ;tho statement attributed to him is true. Mr J. Leonard held his first auction sale to-day in tho disposal of Mr stock'of furniture, and we have to compliment Mr Leonard on the successful manner in which it was conducted. There was no want Of flow of words and humour, and tbe sale was animated throughout. At tho Resident Magistrate's Court this morning, before H. Eyro Kenny, Esq., R.M., John White was charged with being ! drunk, but ho pleaded so pitifully that it was the first time, and that he would never do it again, that the police withdrew the ' charge, and His Worship discharged tho i nnn.n and with a Caution.

The Lydia Howarde Company gavo a performance in the school-room at Give last night, and were so satisfied with their success that thoy have determined to give another performance this evening,;'.^.The burlesque: of " Robinson Crusoo " will "be performed. Mr A. Macdonald takes exception to a statement made in our issue of yesterday to tho effect that there arc two blacksmith's shops in course of erection at Kuripapanga, and informs us that there is only one blacksmith's shop thero, erected by himself, and in full working order since tho sth in- * slant. Owing to telegrams being received that the entrance to the Wairoa has sufficiently improved, the s.s. Maori will leave at 11 o'clock to-night. Tho members of the Napier Cricket Club go by this boat to play the Wairoa Club to-morrow. The rain of this morning will have materially improved the ground, and a good game is expected. Tho Friendly Societies will march through tho town to-morrow, and afterwards proceed by train to Hastings. The following j will bo the order presorved in inarching : — Oddfellows, 2 Hibernians, 3 Protestant Alliance, 4 Loyal United Friends, 5 Foresters. Tho programme for the sports at Hastings is a most ample one, and if the weather holds good a most enjoyable day may be anticipated. The ratepayers of the Hawke's Bay County have paid their old councillors the well deserved compliment of returning everyone of them unopposed to the new Council. It will be seen, by advertisement that the Council will meet on the 23rd instant, at noon, for the election of a chairman, when, we make no doubt, Mr Sutton will be again placed in the position that he has so worthily filled in the past. Mr Manning's freethoughfc lecture, " What must we do to be saved," was very thinly attended. Liko all Colonel Ingersoll's lectures it absolutely ignored the feelings of those who hold contrary opinions to those entertained by advanced freethinkers, and while the address might have contained much that everyone was agreed upon the language repulsed rather than attracted the wavering. _If the religion of the future is to be anything like what Colonel Ingersoll teaches, the day of its adoption is delayed till refinement of thought and expression takes the place of coarseness of language. On the subject of education Mr Sydney Johnston, at his meeting last night, seemed to be more at home than upon any other question upon which he spoke. Ho said he was in favor of secular education in the public schools, but he held to the opinion that if other religious denominations would do what the Catholics had done —build their own schools—maintain a standard of education required by Government, and open their schools to Government inspection, that they should be entitled to assistance. He said, "What the Catholics want is something like this"—and ho lifted a glass of water to his lips before proceeding with his sentence, which caused roars of laughter. It is said that the cause of the strong feeling in favor of Mr Smith at Norse wood ia the prevalence of the idea that, if that gentleman enters Parliament, the Government will endow the Lutheran mission at that settlement to the tune of £150 a year. Our Scandinavian friends are a hopeful and a trustful people, and, so we hear, the Rev. Mr Sass is working bravely for. Mr Smith. By-the-bye, a correspondent asks us whether it is true that Mr Sass tried hard to get imposed upon every holder of land in Norsewood a payment of £2 a year for the support of the church ? We do not know whether it is true or not, but we never knew a clergyman who did not try to get all he could for the church to which he belonged. The following civil cases were disposed of at the Resident Magistrate's Court this morning :—• Johnston v. Ready, claim £6 7s for board and lodging; judgment for plaintiff with costs. Beaumont v. Mclnerney, claim £2 19s for wages; Mr Lascelles appeared for defendant; judgment for defendant with costs and counsel's fee. Judgment summonses -— Mclnerney v. Beaumont, claim for board and lodging ; order that the amount be paid in fourteen days, or defendant go to prison for one month. Mclnerney v. 11. Brown, claim £4 for board and lodging; order that the amount be paid in fourteen days, or defendant go to prison for one month. W. R. Blythe v. E. Chase, claim £14 12s 5d for goods supplied ; order made that defendant pay tho amount, or go to prison for one month. At a meeting of the Hospital Committee, held yesterday afternoon, Mr Cotterill obtained permission to alter the wording of his motion passed at the last meeting of the Committee, to substitute the word " non paying" for the word " pauper." The visiting committee reported that they had paid a surprisa visit to the Hospital on the 27ch, accompanied by the secretary and a representative of the Dailt Tekeobaph. After a thorough examination into every department of the institution they had pleasure in recording their opinion that the management had attained a high degree of excellence, and that every thing possible was done for the comfort of the patients. A copy of the Weekly Msecury of the 4th instant was laid upon the table, and there was a general expression of opinion that the article upon the Hospital and its management contained therein was calculated to disnel a number of misconceptions in reference'to the working of the institution, and to assist the efforts of the Committee to a considerable extent. Mr J. A. Smith moved that the medical superintendent be requested to furnish the Committee with a list of the out-door patients who had received medical aid at the hospital since June Ist, and of the medicines with which they had been supplied. The motion was carried. The secretary was instructed to communicate with the different clergymen in the district with a view to holding a Hospital Sunday. The sum of £5 was voted to the secretary for petty cost purposes. His Worship the Mayor and Dr. de Lisle were appointed a visiting committee for the current month. Payments for the month amounting to £64 19s lOd were passed. Dr. Caro requests us to publish the following report of his work'in connection with the vaccination of the children attending the public schools :—" In the first school which I have examined (Clive), I found 19 children of ages ranging from 5 to 14 years requiring the operation to bo performed on them ; two of the older pupils offered themselves for re-vaccination. In the free schools of Napier city there were 38 children who showed no marks of previous vaccination. I vaccinated 30 of them; the remainder either openly declined or evaded the operation. Of these over 14 years old, only 3 came, forward for re-vaccination. The number of pupils primarily vaccinated by me at Havelock amounts to 11, of those re-vacci-nated to 4. At Hastings 15 willingly submitted to the operation, whilo 2 pupils brought notices of objection from their parents. The Port school furnished 20_for primary aud 2 for secondary vaccination. At Meanee I vaccinated at the Government schools 5 primarily and re-vaccinated 2, and at tho Mission-school, Mr Reardon, with his customary urbanity, allowed mo to operate on one pupil of European parentage and on ten scholars of the native race. At tho Taradale school tho number who had not already undergone the operation was small, viz, three, but six availed themselves of tho privilege of free re-vaccination. Lastly, at St. Mary's boys' fichool 8 took advantage of primary and 5 of secondary vaccination. To sum np: Number of primary vaccinations porformod, 123; of re-vaccinations, 23." Many of the nostrums and specifics advertised £o tone the nervous system, work more direct injury to it, than the diseases that themselves affect it. Practical experience is after all the best physician, and this strongly recommends tho gently stimulating properties of a preparation known to act upon tho functions with tho piosfc splendid curativo results.
