_r Louis Binnie, whom many of our readers will remember as the proprietor of the London Hotel, Spit, is driving a hansom cab in London, and, we are told, a very handsome turn out it is too.

Mr F. Sutton, M.H.R., will address the electors at Hastings on Monday evening next. As Mr Sutton will most probably enter pretty fully into the character of the legislation of the last session as it affects local government, and as this is a topic in which he is thoroughly at home, his address cannot fail to be both interesting and valuable.

Wairoa is in a great state of excitement over the endowment of the Napier High School. Amongst the endowments are two blocks, comprising less than 10,000 acres, situated close to Wairoa, and the good people there have at once fallen into the error of supposing that those lands are locked up for ever, and the prospects of the district permanently ruined. A reference to the Napier High School Act will show that those endowments are to be treated as ordinary waste lands of the Crown, and that the only benefit the School Board will derive from them will be from their sale or lease, as the case may be.

The children attending the Waipawa Methodist Sunday School, together with their parents and friends, were entertained at a picnic on Thursday. There was a large number of persons present. Various games were indulged in, and a large number of prizes given to the children. An excellent tea was served, at which there was an abundance of good things. The teachers and friend friends did their utmost to amuse the little ones. Great credit is due to the Minister, the Rev. E. Barnett, for his thoughtfulness, not only towards tho children, but their friends. The Waipawa Methodists may be proud of having a minister who by his everyday life shows himself the friend of all.

Our Wairoa correspondent writes as follows under date 19th inptmt: — " The Harbor Board met at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, when a quantity of correspondence was read and considered. The most important business done was the passing of a resolution to borrow £100 to obtain specifications for the works necessary to keep the mouth of the river open. Mr Williams, in moving the resolution, stated that Mr Rolleston had promised, if the Board produced specifications showing that the necessary works could be constructed at a moderate cost, that the Government, in view of their beinglarge landholders, would endeavor to provide the necessary funds. The Wairoa Harbor Board is to be congratulated on its energy in this as well as other matters. The district owes a good deal also to Messrs M. R. Miller and the Harbor Board chairman (Mr J. Gemmell), as well as Mr Williams, the efficient secretary ; these three gentlemen leave no stone unturned that may result in advantage to the Wairoa district." Messrs Large and Townloy opened their new upholstery warehouse in Hastingsstreet to-day, and their show rooms have naturally attracted numerous visitors feom the beauty, richness, and variety of the stock. The ground floor, which presents a handsome plate plass front of 33 feet to the sheet, with a depth of 80 feet, contains an exquisite assortment of glass and china ware, besides an immense stock of carpets and curtains. But, perhaps, that which claims the first attention is a beautiful suite of furniture made from the choicest cabinet woods of New Zealand, and manufactured by Messrs Large and Townley. to the order of Mr Thomas Tanner. The ground floor is further lighted by a wellhole protected by a fretwork balustrade, in keeping with the staircase by which the upper storey is reached. Here are mirrors, pianofortes, and organs by the best makers, furniture of English and the firm's own make, and other goods too numerous to mention. At the rear of the premises there are the workshops and store-rooms. Without exception Messrs Large and Townley have one of the finest show rooms to be found in the colony, and when lighted up, as it will be to-night, this handsome warehouse will be the attraction of the street. Homoeopathy is the name given to a system of medical treatment introduced by Sir Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, in 1796, and now extensively practised and having many adherents in every country and clime, amongst the number being not a few medical men of high distinction. The mode of treatment is extremely simple, and no home is complete without a supply of homoeopathic medicines. Country residents will find the largest Rtock in Hawke's Bay (by Marshall and other makers) of this invaluable remedy for nearly every ailment at Professor Moore's Medical Hall, Waipawa.—[Advt.]

" A good name is better than precious ointment," and the good name that attaches to that which assumes or rather undertakes to be curative in its application and usee, •wrested, too, from public approval and appreciation, is worthy the glory of conquered worlds. Such is the achievement wrought by Udolpho "Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps. It has gained a most enviable reputation, and stands to-day confessedly the most magnificent anti-spasmodic Tonic, Invigorant, and Restorative in the world.— [Advt.] _
