The Minister of Justice, the Hon. Mr Dick, will be in Napier to-morrow, being now on his way overland. We have to acknowledge a donation of £3 received thia day from the Spit Volunteer Fiie Brigade in aid of the Jack relief fund, j W"e ace reluctantly compelled to holdover till our next issue a long communication which we have received in reference to the new Land Bill. An attempt will be made this evening to resuscitate the Waipawa Cricket Club, a neeting having been called for that purpose, to take place at the Empire Hotel. In consequence of his intended departure from Napier shortly, Mr K. Dobaon yesterday handed in bia resignation of the seat occupied by him on the Hawke'a Bay Education Board. An ordinary meeting of the Municipal Council -will be held this evening in the Council Chamber at 8 p.m., after which a special meeting will take place, when the proposed new bye-laws will be considered. The branch office of H.M.s Customs was opened to-day by the Collector of Customs in the General Post-Office buildings. Entries were passed during the day to the amount of £113, a fact that shows how needed was this branch by business men in the town. The Corporation is now engaged testing the waterpipes received by tho ship Glenari£E from Meesrs McEwan and Co. for the extension of the water supply. The pipes are subjected to an hydraulic pressure of loOlbs to the square inch, and although a great many have been tested none as yet have yielded to the pressure. To-night and to-morrow afternoon and evening a bazaar in aid of the Catholic Church will be held in the Oddfellows' Hall, WaiDawa. The ladies of the church have been very busy obtaining suitable articles to line the stalls, and will no doubt be amply recompensed for their trouble by a good sale. During both evenings the members of the "Waipawa Brass Band have kindly consented to appear, and perform selections of music. At the Waipawa Police Court yesterday, John Collins was brought before A. St. C. Inglis, Esq., J.P., charged by the police with drunkenness. The accused did not look very comfortable in Court, having lost nearly all his clothing in conic _ way—his coat, boots, hat, &c, being conspicuous by absence. As John expressed himself penitent, and desiroue of returning to work, he was discharged with a reprimand. _ This is the same person referred to in our issue of last night as having been fined for drunkenness on Monday, also at Waipawa. A correspondent at Waipawa writes us that an accident, fortunately of not a very serious nature, occurred on Sunday last to a son of Mr S. McGreevy. The lad was on his way home, on horseback, and when near Hobson's gate the animal suddenly shied, pitching young McGreevy on to his head. He lay stunned for a time, and it was thought he was seriously injured. Dr. Todd, however, who was sent for, applied remedies which speedily brought his patient round, and he is now suffering from nothing worse than stiffness and occasional headaches. Mr Grubb requests us to acknowledge receipt of the following sums towards the Jack relief fund :—Messrs Davidson and Irvine. £2 2a ; Mr F. H. Meinertzhagen, £2 ; Mr W. Black, 10s ; MrE.Conroy, 10s. From Mangakurie station —Mr Q. E. Williams, £1; Mr Peter Miller, £1 ; Mr James Knox, £1 ; Mr W. J. Bremner, 10s ; Mr W. Hopper, 10s; Mr James Miller, 10s; Mr W.

In the Resident Magistrate's Court this morning, before Captain Preece, R.M., JohnDignan, charged with drunkenness, was fined 5i and eoste, or in default 48 hours' imprisonment. Charles Maloney, similarly charged, was fined 10s and costs, or in default 48 hours' imprisonment. The same prisoner was also fined £1 and costs, or seven days imprisonment, for having made use of obscene language in a public place. Frank Connor, on bail, charged with having been drunk at Taradale, failed to appear, and forfeited his recognisance, £1. The Court then rose. The Clive Square Mutual Improvement Association held its weekly meeting last night. There was a capital attendance of members, besides a number of visitors. A motion to change the night of meeting from Tuesday to Thursday was lost by a substantial majority. The rules revised by the committee were brought up for consideration, and unanimously adopted. The rest of the evening was occupied by readings and recitations by Messrs H. Martin, Diddams, Cornford, T. Laws, and Howse. These were freely criticised by other members of the Association. The Royal Australian Circus was favored with another crowded house last night, when the programme of the previous evening was repeated with a few slight modifications. Max Rinkle, the clown, created a considerable merriment by his sayings and doings, carefully avoiding a repetition oi anything he had given on the opening night. The acrobatic performers and the slackwire walker were aerain highly successful in the various feats allotted to them, and received freueqnt applause. An entire change of programme is announced for to-night, including the spectacular drama of " Turpin's Ride to York," and Signor Bartolo in his marvellous hoop aGt. The news about the comet that we published yesterday awoke an interest in the heavenly stranger, and numerous parties might be seen to-day gazing at the sky. The comet was clearly discernible at noon, having the appearance of a small spec of fleecy cloud, in the form of a fan, the point being towards the sun. At that hour a scientific individual informed us that, if we hid the sun from our right eye by standing behind a verandah post, and looked with our left optic to the left of and in a line with the great luminary, we should see the comet about three feet from the verandah post. Wo followed his directions, and wore rewarded. There is nothing like science after all. The committee of the Waipawa County Racing , Club appointed to frame a programme for the club's meeting on New Year's Day met at Kaikora on Monday evening, all the members being present. The stakes to be raced for will amount in the aggregate to about £300, the prize for the principal event being £150. The following gentleman were appointed to carry out the programme :—Stewards, Messrs W. White, T. Howard, Gray, yon Mirbach, A. Robb, J. E. Goose, and Gibson ; judge, Mr . H. J. Baker; clerk of the scales, Mr Ben B. j Johnson. At the conclusion of the meeting Mr J. K. Newton, secretary to the club, was presented by the committee with a handsome gold pencil case as a slight re*

cognition of the many valuable services reudered by him to the club. The gift was acknowledged by Mr Newton in suitable terms.

"To do good rather than to be conspicuous " ought to be the motto of everyone who has the welfare of his fellow man at heart. With this laudable object in view Professor Moore, of Waipawa, buys all his good* for cash, and keeps only articles of tbe best quality procurable in the market. Attention is respectfully directed to his present large stock of calves foot jelly, and Liebig's extract of meat, which, will be disposed of at a slight advance over cost. —[Aim.]

" A roseby any other name will smell as sweet," says Shakespeare. True, but there may be a certain species of the flower sweeter than others. Gin is the extract or quintessence of the juniper berry " Juniperus communis," as it ie botauically, or technically called. But the gin that enters into the concoction of Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Akomatio Schvapps is expressed from the " Juniper us phoenicia," or Italian juniper, and tiis, flavored, medicated and aromatized, is what makes this celebrated cordial better than all others.—[Advt.J
