Our Ormondville correspondent's letter, the acceptances for the handicaps at the Jockey Club's Boxing Day meeting, and other interesting information, appears m our fourth page.

In the Resident Magistrate's Court this morning Hona (a native) pleaded guilty to a charge of drunkenness, and was fined 5s and costs, which amount was duly forthcoming.

The Brewers' Journal for October contains a two page illustration of the new malting premises for Messrs Robjohns and Co. of this town, the architects of which are Messrs Davison Inskipp and McKenzie, of London.

At a meeting of the Hawke's Bay Rifle Association, held in the Criterion Hotel last eveuing, Mr W. Cato presiding, a programme was arranged for the Petane firing on the 26th and 27th instant. Very liberal prizes are offered, for which there should be keen competition.

At the Waipawa Police Court yesterday, before A. St, C. Inglin, Esq., J.F., JManser and J. Foley were charged by the police with drunkenness. Neither of the

defendants had been charged before, and were discharged with a caution on their representations that they were going to work in the country. At a meeting of the New Zealand Fire Brigades delegates reception committee last night tenders were opened for the banquet to be given the visitors during their stay here, and Mr T. Peddie's at 10s 6d per head was accepted. Offers were also received from the several hotel proprietors in town for the board and lodging of the delegates. The European Mail has the following :— "Mr G. H. Swan, of the White Swan Brewery, Napier, New Zealand, who has been in this country on a visit of inspection of breweries, brewing appliances, &c, and requiring larger premises for his connection in Napier, has _ decided on the erection of a complete additional brewery, and has entrusted the preparation of the designs to to Mr W. Bradford, of London."

A farewell soiree was given in the Theatre Royal last evening to Mrs Hampson, who concluded her " mission" here the previous night. Liberally stocked tables were provided by a number of ladies and received due attention at the hands of we believe, nearly four hundred persons! The " after meeting " was still more largely attended, when hymns were sung, and addresses were given by several clergymen and others.

It appears that there are still to be found men who will walk half over the North Island looking for work but declining to accept anything that is offered. Two men were to-day in town whose own story is that they walked all the way from Cambridge; they did not mention, however, that they had been offered eight shillings a day and " tucker" for some harvesting work. They agreed to take the job, but instead of turning up at the appointed time they came into Napier. These sort of men do more mischief to the colony than they can estimate or understand. In his opening address in the civil case Muldoon v. Wall in the Supreme Court this morning, Mr Kenny expressed regret that the time of a Napier jury should be taken up in hearing a case brought from another district. That, however, he explained, was his misfortune and not his fault. The people of Poverty Bay had tried repeatedly to have periodical sittings of the Supreme Court established there, but without avail, and they had, therefore, no alternative but to bring their cases to Napier, a course which was pursued at'no inconsiderable expense and inconvenience to all concerned.

We are requested to mention that the rifle competition between the Napier Artillery and the Rifles for the cup presented by Major Routledge will take place tomorrow morning, firing to commence at 5 o'clock. The following have been chosen to represent the Rifles: — Lieut. Cato, Sergts. Chicken, Redward, and W. Duncan, Privates Beck, J. Frame, W. Frame, Balsillie, Crossman, and Tait; emergency, Privates Galbraith and C. Cato. The following represent the Artillery : — Sub.Lieut. Ross, Sergeants Garry and Blackwell, Bombadier Williams, and Gunners Pram, Laing, Gilpin, W. Fulford, A. Fulford, and Gilberd; emergency, Corporal Parker and Bombadier Carnell.

Thdre is to be no dearth of amusements in the Theatre Royal during this month and January and February. On Friday night the district school children will give a musical entertainment entitled "Had Biding Hood's Rescue " on behalf of the school prize fund. Messrs Kellar and Cunard, illusionists, &c, from the Egyptian Hall, London, will open for a season of ten nights on the 26th instant (Boxing Day), to be succeeded on January 22nd by Mr Archibald Forbes, the famouß war correspondent, who will give a course of lectures extending over four nights. Then will come Messrs Stanley and Darbyshire's juvenile opera troupe, who will play for two weeks, and immediately following their season we are promised a visit from Mr Simonson's ever popular company, who are at present doing good business in the South. It is probable that after Simonson's company Mr Fred. Maocabe, ventriloquist and mimic, will be the next professional to visit Napier with his inimitable entertainment entitled " Begone Dull Caro."

" Pomade Vaseline " is the purest and best preparation for the hair extant. It promotes growth and luxuriance, and keeps both the head and hair sweet and clean, besides freeing the scalp from scurf and dandriff. Pomade Vaseline contains no animal matter, and will therefore never become rancid, or render the hair a receptacle for decaying substances. In bottles at Is, Is 6d, and 5s each, at Professor Moore's Medical Hall, Waipawa.—[Adv..] " See how the rascals use me. They will not let my play run, and they steal my thunder," petulantly exclaimed Mr Dennis, the author of a drama called " Appius and Virginia," who introduced a species of thunder in the play, now in present use (which play was unsuccessful however), and being in the pit at some representation of Macbeth heard his own thunder made use of. And so it is with the purloiners of the name of TJdolpho Wolfe's Sc______: Aromatic Schnapps. They not only use all their efforts to drive this great restorative and alterative out of the market, but resort to all the means of duplicity and fraud, to utilize, in a similar cordial, its supposed chief ingredients.—[Advt.]
