On the fourth page will be found an article entitled "A Very Strange Story." "Through Quivering Nerve" is the title of the fourth Lenten address to be delivered by the Rev. De Berdt Hovell in St. John's Church to-morrow evening. The Bishop of Waiapn will admit the Roy. Mr Wills to the dinconate in St. John's Church to-morrow morning. The ordination sermon is to be preached by the Rev. De Berdfc Hovel!. Tiie subject of the Rev. J. G. Palerson's sermon to-morrow morningwillbe "Stones rolled away." The subject of the evening lecture will be "The martyr Bishop of Melanesia." . Young men are specially invited." There will be confirmation by the Bishop of Waiapn in St. John's Church at 2.30 to-morrow afternoon. The candidates are requested to assemble at St. John's parsonage at 2 o'clock, and not at the schoolroom as previously notified.. The Harbor Board should do something to render safer the railway crossing near Messrs Murray, Roberts and C'o.'s Spit store. The crossing in its present condition is much dreaded by drivers of vehicles, who liavo to be extremely cautious. .Something might surely be done to remedy this state of things. Ehreufried's well-known brewery at the Thames was .destroyed by lire on Tuesday last, but for some leasou or other the Press Association message notifying the fact was not forwarded to Napier. The origin of the fire is unknown. The following are the insurances : — Building, £2000 in London and Lancashire, of which £1500 is re-insured in various ollices ; stock and contents, London and Lancashire, Royal, Union, Standard, Norwich Union, and Plironix, £500 each. Total, building ami contents, £4500. Our Makatoku correspondent writes as follows under yesterday's date: — "The Makatoku Court of Foresters celebrated their anniversary last evening by a dinner iv Hobbs' Hall, when about 40 sat down to a capital spread provided by Mr Carmichael. The bill of fare included everything in season procurable. The usual toasts were proposed and responded to, the last on the list, tl)at of the " host and hostess," evoking great and well deserved nraiso for their share in the proceedings. They have proved themselves by this, their first undertaking, to he first-class-caterers." The work of filling in the lagoon at the Spit is progressing rapidly, and the railway line upon which the earth waggons run is approaching near to the streot. In a week or two the engine and its train of trucks will be running parallel and very clos« to Waghoruc-street, a condition of affairs that is likely to cause serious accidents by the bolting of frightened horses. The Council might do worse than open up a temporary detour for vehicles by way of the beach, so that while the reclamation works are progressing near enough to Waglioine-strcet to bo 11 source of danger, drivers of horses could use the other road. The new direct stenn) service between this colony and Groat Britain, arranged by Mr Dobson and undertaken by Messrs Tyscr mid Co., in conjunction with thpse who have for some time past been running the s.s, Kldorslie from Oamani, may now be regarded as an accomplished fact. Six steamers are to be engaged in the trade, and they will include the Eldcrslio and the Forfiirshire, sailing under the same ling. The first steamor is to leave Napier in November, and in December one is to leave Napier and another Otago. The lino is intended chiefly to develop tho frozen meat trade, and meat will be carried at a reduced freight, After Decein-

lior one stenmer a month will leave the polony. Tlio service is intended to be a fiO days' one— Evening Foal. The adjourned meeting of creditors in the bankrupt estate of Robert George Williams, of Woodville, was held in the Court-house yesterday. The debtor, as on the former occasion -when he was wanted, did not condescend to put in an appearar.ee. it was stated, although it is hardly credible, that a solicitor had advised tlie bankrupt, not to attend. The following resolution was unanimously passed :— "That tho debtor, having been summoned by the Deputy Assignee to attend the meeting of creditors to be held this day, and having failed to do so, the Assignee be instructed to apply to the ( limit for a warrant to compel the attendance of the said debtor forthwith." It was further decided that all goods in the esiate that could be realised should be sold at once, less the £25 worth allowed by Act to the ban!; nipt. Tho meeting (lion adjourned. Our Ilnstingscorresponrtent writes under yesterday's date:— At the Resident Magistrate's Oourt today, before Messrs T. Tanner and V. Kiilton, J.JVs, Charles Pidgeon, convicted of indecent exposure on the Hastings' racecourse, was sentenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labor.— John Boyle, for being drunk in a public place, was_ lined 5s and costs 2s, or 24 hours' imprisonment. —Charles Holt, .who had been admitted out on depositing £1 as bail, did not appear, and his bail was estreated.— George Williams was fined 10s, and costs 12s Gd, for firing a gun in a public road. He was ontside Stock's ground on the occasion of the pigeon match (icing at the stray pigeons.— Charles Doney and Charles Hammond were lined 10s each, with costs 7s, for allowing horses to stray.— John Dalton was fined £1, and costs 7s, for tethering a horse in a public road. In another column will be found a notification by the New York Life Insurance Company setting forth some of the advantages obtainable under its lately-perfected limited endowment and five-year dividend policies. From a perusal of the pamphlets explaining these varions benehts (which we are given to understand have not hitherto been obtainable in New Zealand) the policies noted above will command a large amount of attention. The company claims to he the best in the world as regards results to its policy-holders, seeing it lias paid the largest tontine dividends of any company. It offers absolute security, backing up its promises as it does with about fifteen millions sterling. "With an unblemished record of forty-two years, and the fact that its policies provide a good investment with insurance throughout the term selected practically for nothing, the company may expect to see the same measure of success attend its operations in Napier that has marked its progress wherever it has been established. A cup match will be played on the Recreation Ground this afternoon between the Napier and Union Cricket Chilis. The following will represent tho Union : — Graham, Gardiner, Dempsey, Patterson, Freeman, M'Rne, Cameron, Howe, Knapp, J. Morrison, and T. Morrison. Emergencies : Wyntt and Yates. The following will represent the Napier Club : — Bell, Forde, Howard, J. Martin, H. Martin, T. Smith, H. Swan, Salmon, Nash, Watkins, and White. The game will start at 2 p.m., and players of both sides are requested to be on the ground before that hour. The second eleven of the Union will also play the second eleven of the Roveis on the cocoanut matting pitch. The following are the teams :— Union : Wyatt, Yates, Cameron, Fitzsiinmons, Dowling, ColHuge, Stevens, Williams, Morley, Holder, and Green. Emergencies: Gorman, Price, and Spriggs. Rovers : Kirch, Parker, Peacock, Tylee, Edwards, Kennedy, Crowley, Lyndon, Newton, Liddle, Thomas, Goodall. Play in this match also will commence at 2 p.m., and all players concerned are requested to be punctual. With this morning's Her Ato is issued a lithographic plan of the valuable block of town and suburban land at Woodville to be sold by Messrs Banner and Liddle on Friday next. The plan, which is a splendid" specimen of the art of cheaply multiplying copies of the draftnian's skill, in addition to a scale delineation of the sections to be offered, contains a quantity of useful and reliable information of great service to intending buyers. The land, which is cleared and in grass, and is exceptionally rich, is near the railway station. The portions most adjacent to tho latter arc laid off as town sections, the remainder being suburban sections varying from one to iive act es. The roads giving access to the town sections are all Formed and metalled, under Hie direct supervision and to the satisfaction of the Town Board, while the roads abutting on tho suburban land are all formed for dray traffic. The terms are very easy indeed, as a glance at the descriptive account ot the laud to be found on the plan will show, and the sale offers a great inducement to all desiring to make for themselves a home in a most nourishing district, or to buy with an eye to future profit. Our AVaipawa correspondent wired as follows last evening :— " There was a largely attended meeting to-day of those interested in forming a lire brigade, Mr Bibby in the chair. Mr Ewen, the originator of the scheme, addressed the meeting at considerable length, proposing that a plant be procured and a brigade formed. He pointed out the advisability of such a course, dwelling on the danger to which property in Waipawa was exposed, while with comparatively small outlay for plant and a little united work by members of a brigade all danger might in most cases be easier averted by tin engine such as it was proposed to obtain, and a decently trained brigade. No difficulty in forming the brigade would be experienced when the plant was procured. Another inducement suggested was the reduction in insurance rates which would probably be made when some protection against fire was assured, The cost of engine, hose, and appliances was estimated at £300, and he proposed to raise this amount by voluntary subscriptions and the proceeds of a ball and bazaar to lie held. The proposal was received with favor, and was unanimously adopted. Several townsmen addressed the meeting, praising the scheme in the highest terms. The following committee was elected to carry tho proposal into effect:— Messrs Rathbone, Scrimgeour, Britten, Bibby, Flynn, Nicholson, Ewen, Garry, Jull, Moroney, Johnson, Chamier, Loughnan, Miller, and Collett. A ball management committee was also appointed, Mr Ewen consenting to act as secretary to both committees." Those ot our readers not conversant with the early history of the colony will be interested by a few facts in connection with the s.B. St. Kilda, which has this week revisited Port Ahuriri. The vessel took part in some of the most stirring events of the old days. She was originally brought out from Scotland by the New Zealand Government as a gnnboat and a li«lithousG tender. At that time there were only three lighthouses on the Now Zealand coast — Tiri Tiri, Mana, and Dog Island — and she was therefore largely used as a transport, and did much service on the west coast of this island. In 1S6!) the vessel called at Napier having on board theNgatipavuacontingent of native troops, who managed to get up some trouble on board. Captain Fox, who then commanded the St. Kilda, put iv hero to bring his "passengers" under the inlluence of the late Sir Donald M'Lean, who met the obstreperous natives on the Government lawn, where the Post-office now stands. Sir Donald M'Lenn succeeded in making satisfactory arrangements, and then, if we remember rightly, the contingent went to Poverty JJ.iy and did good service in the chase after Te Kooli. The ship Ida Ziegler had gone ashore on the Western Spit a few days before the St. Kilda's arrival, and Dr. Armstrong, surgeon of the wrecked vessel, was appointed doctor to the contingent, many of the natives suffering from disease. After that the St. Kilda was employed surveying on the west coast of the South Island (under Captain Woods, of Victorian and Fijian notoriety) and later she was used as a Government despatch boat till supplanted by the Luna. The St. Kilda then traded witli cattle between Wanganui and West Coast poits, and at last became a collier, in which capacity she is now again at Napier. This wind-up is like that of tlio old barque Prince Regent, which was originally the yacht owned by George IV beforo be ascended the throne. In a trenchant artiolo on the Premier's speech at Marton the Evening Press exposes Sir Robert Stout's shiftiness, and reminds us that last year, when Sir George Grey proposed to "expropriate" large estates the Premier spoke in reply. " He took the common sense view of the question, and dwelt with grent force on tlie preposterous nature of the proposal to buy back the large estates, whilst, at the same timo, the colony has many millions of acres of land of its own rdquiring to bo brought under settlement. With the object of tinning the tide of popular feeling against Sir George Grey lie pointed out what is perfectly true, that the only people whom such a scheme would benefit are the large land speculators and loan companies, who, would be delighted tq dispose of their bad bargains, to the Government a(. a profitable figure. But lie declared that nothing qf tho sort should bo done if he cpulil prevent it. Ifo, tho colony should dispose of its own lands first, and when they wore all oil* its hands, and settled and populated, then it would be soon enough to talk about buying back land from speculators and loan companies. After reading that speech it positively gives us a turn, as the old women say, to read the Premier's recent utterances •at Marton. Can it possibly be the same man who delivered both of these two speeches, which aro equally emphatic, but diametrically opposed to each other ! The Picmior now

out-Greys Grey. He would do all that Sir George Grey proposed and a geat deal more, lie would not only expropriate large estates for the purpose of settlement, but lie would actually undo all that has hitherto been done iii the way of land sales, and start on a fresh basis of perpetual leasing. _ He would buy. back everybody's land, including the Midland Railway Company's, the grant of which has onl.y just been completed, if it is completed yet." The Venerable John Jones, Archdeacon of Liverpool, who was ordained in the year of the battle of Waterloo by Dr. Preiyman, Bishop of Lincoln, and has been engaged all his ministerial Hfe in Liverpool, lias resigned his office, in the uiiiety-lifth year of his age. Flo is a strong evangelical, and was much appreciated by Dishon Sunnier, who gave him the archdeaconry, and other bishops under whom he has worked . The changes he has seen have been extraordinary. Speaking of Archer reminds me (says "Tiiltle John," Knglish correspondent of the Sydney Town and ('on/ilri/ Jmmud) to .say (hat the stories of his faVnlons wealth are without foundation.' fie lias nl ways been a heavy better, and lias, in spite of all he knew, been a considerable loser. The result is, that so far from Archor being worth a quarter of a million, as was generally asserted and believed, his will is likely to he sworn at considerably under £100,000. Indeed at the outside £75,000 is put down as the fortune left by the deceased jockey. A day or two before his death Archer was anxious toalter his will, intending to considerably increase the legaciesof Charles A rclierand Mrs Coleman, and the solicitor in Cheltenham was wired for ; but although the legal adviser came with all haste, be arrived too late, and consequently tho last will and testament of Frederick Archer, jockey, remained in the same form as when executed shortly after the death of his wife. This refers to personal property only. Falmonth House and grounds (freehold and of considerable value) will go to his daughter. Adverting to the reported illnesa of the Duke of Devonshire, (father of Lord Hartington), " Puff" in the Press tells the following strange story :— " There were two great noble families of Cavendish in the last century, of whom the head of one was Duke of Devonshire, and the head of the other, Earl of Burlington ! The 6th Duke of Devonshire, however, whowas born in 17.00, and was the last of his line, was discovered beyond any doubt to be a changeling, or borrowed child, certainly not the son of his reputed parents !" " Whew ! That was awkward ! Why did'nt the other family go for him and shunt him out of that ?" " For this reason ! He was a splendid fellow, with enormous inflnence, and an ornament to the name he bore ! The Burlington Cavendishes too, were immensely wealthy and powerful ! They were in no hurry ! So it was arranged that William Cavendish should pass as_ Duke of Devonshire for life, on condition that lie never married!" "And did he?" "Oh no, he remained single, and administered the dukedom most nmgniliently, and when lie died, in ISSB, his ' cousin,' the Earl of Burlington, succeeded him, and joined the two Houses in one line ! " Mr Eric Stuart Bruce, M.A. Oxon., the inventor of the now system of baloou signalling in war, has recently taken out a patent for applying the electric light to balloons for advertising purposes. It is called " The Electrical Translucent Advertising Balloon." On the surface of a balloon, made of a material as translucent as possible, is painted the advertisement or picture. In the interior of the balloon, which is filled with gas in the ordinary manner, are placed several incandescent lamps projecting from a spherical holder at various angles, so as to distribute their light over the whole surface of the balloon. These incandescent lamps are in metallic circuit, with a source of electrical power on the ground or roof oi building. The balloon is held captive with a rope, The object of tho apparatus is to display at night the advertisement, picture, or design which is paint sd on the surface of the balloon at such an elevation that the advertisement can be seen over a large area. Jn these days of competitive advertisement the electric balloon is a novel and pleasing method of attracting public attention at night, and thus commends itself to all enterprising firms and to managers of public places. Besides its use for advertising, the illuminated balloon is in itself a pretty object for illuminated files, garden parties, &c.~ Home News. £100,000,000 saved from fire by sensible people who havo purchased Firc-proo£ Safes, Harden Star Hand Grenades, and Portable Firo Engines.
