J Th« "Rmnner borough council met on I Tuesday evening. The "bfayor was a little late in putting in an apoearancp, and Cr Dunn was put in'o the chair. Cr Lee was later still, turning up In 'he middle of the reading of the inward correspondence, _whjch contained nothing startling, and "very "little in'clseif'that was interesting. - The usual mode of dealing with this part of the business — and it in quite a feature In the programme — is to receive it and ;say nothing, or pass it along to one of tho committees, who say nothing, arid',, If possible, do less At the latter they-pre adepts. One va r y important item of btrß&_ no's was **ealt with in a most jndioiouß and ablo mann«r : Mr Stephen WU'iims applied r or permission to build upon hi* own section, and the council magnanimous'j- granted his application. As usual, W C business "ronped up, hut parHcular* need not be ent«r°d into. The Andit Depvtmant made a olnim on the council for L2O, but the council not having any stomach for matters of this kind passed it on to the finance committee. Cr Park'nsion was in bis neat «s "pry and hap-»y an i e ho had never been conspired against and denied ju«ttc<\ and was bucked np by the Mayor in his demand for a lithograph map. The Oey harbor board is to be again moved with the object of inducing that body to construct Omapere street, and two months will be given them in which to make up their mind.

Victorian progress ft"d prosperity (the Tnglewood Star argues) is for the most part a sham and a delusion. Tt compares the colony to a poor swell embellished with a stylish " dicky" for outward display, but with no substantial basis of a shirt nehind it. Mebonrne is set d^wn by the writer as the "dicky" of Victoria. An express service for passengers and light freieht Is to be put on between Reefton and Lyell. We are requested to state that Mr John Smith is the trainer of Kennedy, and not Mr Saunters. A correspondent the Mahakipawa diggings as 'fit only for goats and bal'oomVs. ':... The price of coal {a uppermost in most people's minds, and why they ahou'd boycott the twe principal merohants We cannot see. Ladies and gentlemen should look around them and see where.ihey can get the b»Bt value for their mc^ey. Christopher Smith, the caab^Jfraper, has a moTister sale on, and every^rticle is being sold at the exict wholesale price. We should recommend all to call and see him, for it in snrorioing to see how cheap he ae))s. — Advt. To the deaf. — A person who w^.cured of deafness and noises in the htfa^' of 23 years' standing by a simple remedy will send a description of it free to an jr person who applies to Nicholson, Lincoln's Inn Chambers, William street, JMelbonrne. — Advt. Weak and nervous invalids will be benefitted by taking that woMd-famed tonic Wolfe s Schnapps. Demand Wolfe's Wolfe's Schnapps is held in high esteem by medioal men, as it is the pureßt utimulant and tonic In the world.
