" Science and Eeligion" will be found on the fourth page. A letter from our Waipawa correspondent and other communications are unavoidably held over. Mr W. 0. Smith, M.H.8., will address his constituents at Waipawa on Tuesday evening next, in the Oddfellow's Hall. An admirer of Donald Dinnie has had a full-length portrait of the champion athlete framed and glazed, and for a few days it will be shown in Messrs Dinwiddie, Walker and Co.'s window?. Captain Preece, E.M., yesterday received a telegram from Chief Judee Macdonald stating that the Native Land Court which was to have opened at Waipawa on the 14th inst. has been adjourned to the 25th insti The Rev. Mr Paterson will deliver another of his series of lectures to young men tomorrow evening, at St. Paul's Church. The subject of the address to-morrow will be " Off the Track," and young men are cordially invited. Our Waipawa contemporary states that the Minister for Public Works has promised Mr W. 0. Smith that a mid- day train shall be run to Matamau, and a station be erected, as soon as the rails can be laid to the latter place from Makatoku. As many friends of Major Eoutledge have intimated their intention of welcoming him back to Hawke's Bay, we may save them an unnecessary journey in the launch by saying that the Major yesterday telegraphed to Mr Bell that he will stay in Wellington another week. , At the Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday, before Captain Preece, R.M., a youth named George Richards was charged with the larceny of a saddle, saddle-cloth, bridle, and surcingle, at Wanganui, on January 24th. Accused was remanded to the Resident Magistrate's Court, Wanganui. Should the weather prove fine, of which at time of writing there is not much probability, a dricket match will be played on the Recreation Ground this afternoon, The match is to determine the final selection of a team to represent Hawke's Bay in the forthcoming interprovincial match at Wellington. The names of the players for to-day were given in our columns on Wednesday. As an instance of the good effected by energetic efforts to improve the waterway between Poit Chalmers and Dunedin, the following facts will be of interest : — The chairman of the Otago Harbor Board, who is no w on a visit to this district, has received a telegram stating that on tbe sth inst. the Bio, 300 tons, from Mauritius ; on the 6th the Abiel Abott, 560 tons, from New York ; and on the 7th the Villetta, with 1178 tons of cargo, from Liverpool, were berthed at Dunedin wharves. The A bid Abbott was drawing 16 feet 8 inches, and passed up the channel on a five-feet tide, the rise at Bpring tide being frequently 7 feet 6 inches at Dunedin. The Union Steamship Company's steamers Te Anau and Manapouri have both landed their passengers and cargo at Dunedin wharves, and the Mataura, the first ship direct from London to Bunedin, sailed up the Victoria channel drawing 17 feet 3 inches, discharged her cargo in 6£ days, and then ■sailed for the Bluff to load for Home. When it is remembered that portions of the Victoria channel were dry at low water not more than six years ago, and that the channel is now navigable for large vessels, it must bo admitted that a great work has been accomplished by the Otago Harbor Board. The Napier Volunteer Fire Brigade mustered at 6 o'clock last evening, and proceeded with the steam fire engine to the railway station. The object of the journey waa to reduce the depth of water in the well which the railway authorities are endeavoring to sink in the station yard, so that the men employed in sinking might be able to excavate to the requisite depth. The steam fire-engine was quite successful in the attempt to clear the excavation of water, but efforts to excavate the well deeper were fruitless. This result ensued from the peculiar plan adopted by tho railway authorities in endeavoring to sink the well instead of following the method so successfully employed by the Municipal Council and by a number of private persona, of constructing a cylindrical wooden frame which sinks as the shingle is removed from within its contained area, the railway authorities endeavored to sink an ordinary slab well. The result is a total failure, as the surrounding shingle collapses into the bottom of the excavation as fast as the men can dig. Had the well been the first of its kind attempted in Napier there would have been no great room for surprise at the course adopted, and the consequent failure, but as wells have been successfully sunk in many portions of the town the failure is without excuse. Perhaps the new idea was born of a resolve to save a few pence by using old sleepers as slabs. It is impossible to remain long sick or out of health where Hop Bitters are used. See another 138 Good Words — Brom Good Authority. — . . . We confess that we are perfectly amazed at the run of your Hop Bitters. We never had anything like it, and never heard of the like. The writer (Benton) has been selling drugs here nearly thirty years, and has seen the rise of Hostetter's Vinegar and all other bittera and patent medicines, but never did any of them, in their best days, begin to have the run that Hop Bitters have. . . . We can't get enough of them. We are out of them half the time. , . Extract from letter to Hop Bitters Co., August 22, '78, from Benton, Myers and Co., wholesale druggists, Cleveland, O. Be sure and Bee. 165 Dr Sinclair, the eminent Dentist, will arrive shortly.— See Advertisement.— [Advt.l 372 " German Syrup." — No other medicine in the world was ever given such a test of its curative qualities as Boschee's German Byrup. In three years two million four hundred thousand small bottles of this medicine were distributed free of charge by Druggists in the United States of America to those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma, Croup, severe Coughs, Pneumonia, and other diseases of the throat and lungs, giving undeniable proof that German Syrup will cure them. The result has been that Druggists in every town and village in civilised countries are recommending it to their customers. Qo to your Druggist and ask what they know about it. Sample Bottle 6d. Begular size, 8s 6d. Three doses will relieve any case.
