Bapy ag«j| IVi.Hj land, for £2 ?s for, the^FVras no appearance of the plaintiff , 'but "the defendant appeared and "denied tho claim. Judgment was given for the 'defendant with costs and counsel's fee I£l Is. In the case of T. A. Oottrell v. J. Dean, for goods supplied, judgment ■was given for the amount claimed with costs. The Court then adiourned; Mr Grubb, Chief Postmaster, has forwarded to the publishers of the .. Schoolmaster a large parcel of that periodical, with a statement that the package is just as received from the. Te Anau to Dunedin. The parcel seems to have been among the machinery. The papers are covered with dirty oil.^and not a single, copy is uninjured, all the outside ones being torn to pieces. Several sent singly by the post must have been similarly treated, as portions.of have been sent back.-. There must haye been- gross -carelessness- in handling the mail on board the Te Anau.

j uEohler's: very interesting collection' of: I waxworks attracted a' good many visitors; |tb the -Theatre 1 Boy al yesterday. rl In e(m---i sequence of the threatening aspect of the i weather in • the evening ' ihe ' promenade jconcert *was only moderately- attended; 'Those who were present,' however, ; evidently enjoyed the Jbeautiful music. The included; some choice selecr tions, among which a grand fantasi^ on the ocarina, by Mr it. Kbhler, deserves special mention. The exhibition will be continued to-day, and there will be a promedade concert in the evening.

The new regulation issued from Wellington, with Jthe object of preventing people usintj the railway, bridges for< jefosing rivers, was .'.r.efer^ed to t ' at the meeting of the Education' Board. Mr

Harding remarked; . that . . nrimbers of iscliool children had to. cross the Waipawa and Waipukidrau bridges to get to school, the only other way. being through the rivers. Mr Ormond agreed ihat the regulation was very^- ..abaurd,-; but he thought that if the Board tried to get an alteration on the ground suggested, by Mr Harding it.wQuldr.make a; mistake, as the authorities would say that it was unsafe £or :f children' to cross, the bridgesi "V-Thei-Coupty Councils could take the niattSr up with more, chance, of success. , Th 6 Board took no action. We may remark that in consequence of the: hubbub raised on the West Coast 4 the regulation" has -b6en reas relatesto several bridges which afford the only, means of crossing Hvers. sJ-.i-.tj^j uur'tYl \ The beach was fairly^ lined lasi' night with residents,, who, notwithstanding the rain, .went 'but tdVisee'.'fherelectric-Jjght i. e'xliibitJßd^by. the Manapouri. Aimaliciqu*: wag had circulated the. ne ws. that, at.eight o'clock the steamer would leave, and at hour sopae hundreds, of persons must hayetbeen promenading Beach-road. As time /passed on Jhe crowd gradually/: thinned, and at 11 ,o! clock, when the': sieajmer - ; really . did .. leave, ■ only . a> few dozens were; left; .The disgust of; those > who left';' early! was,- howeVer, surpassed by the disappointment of those who stayed. The. vessel -did not steam :i in front of- the; -town, as the -wag^ before 1 referred to had stated; the electric light (if -'such it was')' was shown only 'fbiftwo or three : minutes,'arid its. effect f ell 'faf'sKbri ' ot the eipcVtations wKich' had been formed, j It was generally voted as inferior to -the light from the Napier- lighthouse, and certainly it was not particularly, brilliant.

iThere was a large gathering of Europeans, and natives; at Qmahu, on Tuesday; JRfenata entertaining the guests in^^nonor 00 the marriage of Mr W." Broughton, of Opahu, to a bride of the TTriwera tribe, Gjsborne. About" forty Europeans/ including several of the leading settlers in th» neighborhood, yrere present. ■ The wedding breakfast was spread in Henata's house, and did credit to Mr Dryden, of Taradale, in whose . hands, the. catering arrangements wer.e placed. The. wedding cake, it may be remarked, was profusely > ornamented with, huia feathers. The usual loyal toasts, and" The Brideraiidf Bridegroom," were. afterwards drunk with ' honors,' Mr .'^PJbjoU and Mr, H^ardon, funr.,,presiding^,''a^"_the''pianoforte. "Eenata' "JCawepo,". was the ne*t. toast given, the aged chief; being .praised; for his- loyalty, integrity, and for ; liis.. efforts to'maintain law and order, among the Maoris. In xeply, Penata' expressed, the great pleasure it gave > him to -see so many well-known pakehas assembled r in' his house to do honor to his "child," Willie Broughton. Ho was glad of it, because it proved conclusively to his mind that the pakehas generally did not regard him with feelings similar to those which actuated some evil disposed ones who had done everything to damage him. Those evil-minded pakehas would see by that gathering that their machinations and attempts to defame his character had not been successful, and his heart rejoiced within him. Eenata and his wife afterwards sang a " song of welcome." Pohuka, one of the native speakers, feelingly remarked that Renata was now about the only " chief man " remaining, and he had always maintained his character for uprightness, and Mr Broughton followed in his footsteps. The guests separated about .10 o'clock, after warmly thanking Renata for his hospitality. Mr G-rindell, who was present as a guest, kindly translated the different speeches.

The true virtue of perfect purity is its rarity. In material, as in spiritual things, it is a redeeming quality. It inspires conHde'nce, invites attention, and equally commands admiration. It is the quintessence of all the other attributes, and it is the distinguishing feature. by which Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, has taken its place in public estimation, maintained .. its hold upon popularpatrotiage; and wrested'frdm: all ■quarters of the. globe th\e repute, which has long since settled tinmispikably upon it.— LAdvt.]'* : ■'■• ■ ••■■■•-"-•-■• •■■■■«
