There is quite a respectable amount of civil business ou the cause list, and some formal applications for the Warden to deal with. The local trading steamers have " struck tvouble" during the last week or so, owing chiefly to the strong winds —almost gales —and low tides. The Lady Barkly especially has been unfortunate. Arriving- late on .Thursday night with a heavy gale blowing, she ran into the lower whaif and splintered some of the stringers and decking. On her return trip on Saturday a westerly gale prevented her reaching Col'lingwood, and she returned to Nelson from Waitapu. At Nelson she again came into contact with the wharf, and such damage resulted that she has since had to lay up for repairs and is not due here again umil Saturday. The Wairoa when leaving port on Monday night, broLe her main shaft and lost her propeller while going over the falls of the river. She was towed back to Ihe wharf by Stallard's yacht, and the propeller was recovered at low water. The shaft was temporarily repaired, and the steamer left for Nelson direct yesterday morning, where she arrived last r.ight, and is now being fitted with a new shaft. Passengers and the travelling public are suffering considerable inconvenience by this unusual dislocation of local Iramc.

The tailor was ill with a dangerous chill, And his breath came in fluttering " pants." His so they said, just huug by a " thread," For the doctor had murmured '"' no chance." No words can ex-"press" his aw.'ul distress, But it " seems" that he put up a ight; He took the thing sure, Woods' Peppermint Cure, ." Sew," " needless" to say, he got right.
