The date of the laper from which this gem is takon is \piil Bth.

-ale of the Karamn Rectioo3 that are advertised for disposal on Monday next by Messrs 0, U, Hoadlcy and Co,, we are desired to state that Mr Nelson approves of the sole, as it will enable his workmen and others in the neighborhood to acquire the only freeholds obtainable so near to thn freezing works. Already negotiations have been opened for securing a site for a church and school, and those who are watching the sale must) see that nowhere 13 there such an opening for the establishment of a township.

Tha way_ in which some young men join athletic clubs of various kinds find get all the fun out of them they can without paying the prescribed subscription is nothing short ot rank dishonesty.

Our Hastings correspondent writes under Thursday's date : - - Hastings was in a state of all-ngogness this morning, the cause of excitement being the marriage of Miss Hill to Mr A. S. G. Cirlyon, second son of tho late Major Carlyon. The church, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion by tho friends of the bride, was crowded. The marriage was Bolemnisfid by tho Rev. Canon St. Hill. The bridp, who was dressed in a robe of white silk and silver trimmings, with a tulle veil and orange blossoms, was given away by her father, Captain Hill, the best man being Mr Stndholme. The bridesmaids were Miss Ifewson, Miss Lowrj, and Miss Melville, Master Moore officiating as page, After the ceremony Miss Kelly played the " Wedding March " with great spirit, and the happy pair drove oIF in a coach drawn by four greys to Captain Hill's residence at Fernhiil, where over 200 .guests were entertained. The City Band played a capital selection during the afternoon. Tho pair lett at G o'clock for tlie wedding tour, amid showers of rico and the good wishes of all.

There is a fine show of oil paintings in Mr Craig's window. They represent widely-varied subjects, and are from the easel of Mr G. F. Fodor. This gentleman, who has studied his profession in France, Germany, and England, is a good allround artist, and has received many firstclass awards and art societies' prizes for figure subjects, His animal paintings are so well known that our Southern contemporaries have frequently referred to htm ns " the New Zealand Lamlseer," nnd his delineations of horses are well known throughout tho colony. Of the pictures in tho window one is entitled, "Veterau Foragers nt Good Quarters," and represents three Napoleonic veterans, who are being billeted on a house. The fat geese wobbling by givo the warriots promise of better accommodation than is their usual lot, and they are apparently discussing this, unaware that they are ovcrheari by the girl at the window nbovo. Another picture is a study of a South American Gaucbo, or "cowboy," of the Argentina. There is also an excellent group of .Southdown sheep, faithfully rendered in every detail, with the quiet, English looking scenery of Canterbury as a background. Next is a smaller painting of the rugged Otira Gorge, a pretty picture, with the light striking from above on to the foliage and river. There are also v;gwr of Alpine scenery. There are the snow-clad glaciers of Mount Seftoo (never to be forgotten by visitors to the Hermitage, for its cliffs and cascades of ice and avalanches), and behind this tbe Southern Alps are represented, a* seen from Lake Pukuki, with Mount Cook in the distance. There is also a picture of Mount Cook taken from the Hermitage. Wo were yesterday shown privately pictures of the racehorses Maxim and Trenton, which Mr FoJor may exhibit publicly. We note also that ono of the principal illustrations in Mr Thomas Bracken's new work, representing the death ot Von Tempsky, is the work of this artist. Mr Fodor w only staying here for a very short time on his way to Melbourne, but we feel sure that during the time he remains here he will meet with the success his talents merit.
