The vital statistics for the past month of September as registered at Napier show birthß 37, marriages 10, and deaths 15. The formation of tbe new registration district of Hastings will make a material difference in the future vital statistics of Napier. The exhibition of the Zulu war and bombardment of Alexandria at Hastings on Saturday night attracted a very full house in the Town Hall. To-night the exhibition will be repeated, when the liberal distribution of gifts will be made as usual. There is a painting of Mr Boyle's draught entire in Mr Holder's window, Hastingsstre.t, which breeders who have not seen the horse would do well to have a look at before deciding where to send their mares.

The comet continues to be brilliantly visible in the early morning before dawn, and, as it rises earlier each day, it is hoped that it may be seen at midnight before it finally passes away. On Saturday night, between 12 and 1 o'clock, the extremity of the tail, it was said, was visible just above the horizon. The arrivals of the Wanganui horse Romeo, entered for tbe Hurdles, and Mr hor6e Te Ata, entered for the Guineas, complete the list of competitors for the races to-morrow. The former was brought overland, and reached Hastings by train on Saturday ; the latter was landed from the To Anau. We have been requested to state that the steamer Star of the South leaves Dunedin on Wednesday next for Napier, calling at intermediate ports. This steamer will come inside the Pot, which will be an advantage to shippers. The steamer Oreti leaves Auckland to-night for this port, and is expected to arrive here on Thursday. Messrs Murray, Roberts and Co. are the local agents for these steamers. By tbe appointment of Mr D. R. Wright, railway station master at Hastings, as registrar for the new registration district of Hastings, persons living to the south of the old bed of the Ngaruroro river including Hasting?, Favelock, PakiPaki, andKereru, can now register births and deaths at Hastings, and also obtain certificates for marriage. The public are indebted to Mr Sutton, M.H.R., for this convenience. In the Resident Magistrate's Court this morning, before Captain Preece, K.M., Robert Griffiths, charged with having been drunk in Napier on Saturday, was dismissed with a caution. Leonard Catz, who was arrested on board the Te Anau on Saturday, was charged with having, on the 29th instant, at Wellington, obtained a sum of £2 from one John Orr by means of a valueless cheque. On the application of the police the accused was remanded to Saturday morning next. This concluded the business. Thirteen of the members of the Sydney football team, land.d from the Te Anau on Saturday, and were entertained at dinner at the Criterion Hotel by the i

Napier Football Club. Tha hospitality thus shown the visitors appeared to be as much appreciated as it was unexpected. On returning to the steamer, accompanied by the Napier men, Mrßaper, the captain of the Sydney team, in responding to a toast, expressed the hope that a New Zealand team would visit Sydney, and that some Hawke's Bay men would be included in it. They appear to be confident of winning l the return matoh with Auckland. Mr Peddie's new hotel, the Clarendon Club, ii now so far finished as to enable him to announce that he is prepared to take a limited number of boarders, and also to accommodate with meals the large number of visitors who may be expected in Napier during this current week. The house has been, fitted witn every convenience, is admirably ventilated and drained, and no expense has been spared to make it replete with every comfort, special attention having b*en paid to sanitary arrangements. Thero are now fourteen bedrooms ont of tho twenty ready for use, and the dinningroom will seat sixty persons comfortably. The kitchen arrangements are the most perfect of any in this provincial district, and indeed they cannot he excelled in any house in the colony. During the spring and summer months serious sickness as well as all those distressing symptons of lassitude and depression that in warm weather afflict persons residing in southern latitudes may in a very great measure be prevented by occasionally taking a dose of some Effervescing aperient such as Eno's Fruit Salts, Maltine, or Lamplough's Pyretic Saline, which correct and invigorate the entire system.

Once these pales overstepped and it assumes the form of fanaticism. A great physiologist has said, that whilst the use of alcohol is, on general principles, more injurious than beneficial, great benefit may be derived from its use, medicinally administered, in appropriate cases. In these cases, he adds, it in a powerful remedial agent. Hence the indorsement of Udoi_pho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapp3.->[Adt_.]
