One of the Napier clergymen last night preached a very strong sermon ln favor of temperance, and in concluding he urged bis hearers on no acoount to vote for any man who placed the direot veto oiter the interests of any politioal party. A man who would not sapport the principle of the direct veto because it was good, and irrespective of party, was no true friend of the temperance cause.

Mr .Swans committee tor Meanee, Taradale, and Greenmeadows met on Saturday night at Taradale. The meeting was very largely attended, and very encouraging hope, are entertained of Mr Swan's success in these districts, Mr Rymer, the chairman, in thanking the committee for the work they bad hitherto done, said he hoped they would not leave a stone unturned to return tho man who had always been a friend co everyone he came in contact with, and who bad proved himself a most able representative.

Yesterday being the day set apart for intercession for foreign mls.ions, special services were held at the Cathedral, both morning and evening. Dean Hovell officiated throughout the day, and preached appropriate sermons. The address at tbe evening service was a powerful exposition of the progress of mission work from the earliest ages, and, refeniag to this colony, the Dean stated thao tho Church of E <igland alone bad good cause for thankfulness forthe .uccesaful missionary efforts made in New Zealand during the last fifty years. The services were fully choral, under Mr Mau^han Barnett's direction, and were admirably rendered.

Mr Parsons, of Christchnrch, the New Zealand representative of "Solomon Solution," an article now much used in this district, has been in town on business during the past week. Ho reports large sale, all over the colony, ami that this excellent remedy is gradually woiking its way into public favor. It has been found that owing to various causes some of the solution .o'd has not been up to its original staudard. An advertisement in another column explairs that all the defects have been rectified. As an embrocation for horses ond cittle the wellknown name, attached to the tesilmonials are quite a sufficient: gnarautee ot its marvellous qualiiies, and the solution should have a great demand,

| On Siturday night Mr W. G. Smith addressed the electors of Hawke's B iy in the Princess Theaire, Hasting.. There wus a large attendance. The Mtvor, Mr 6. Ellis, occupied the chair. Mr Smith's address resolved Itself into a. defence of the Government and an appeil to the electors to vote for Mr Heardon. He also stated that the story abont the 25 people thrusting Mr Reardon on to the constituency was not true. At that meeting Sir Patrick Buckley was present not to choose Mr Reardon, but to ask him (Mr VV. 0. Smith) to come forward in the Government interest for Hawke's Bay. He deolined to do so, aud then the meeting chose Mr Reardon as the Government candidate because he had at tht> previous election fought Captain Rusueli. A vote of thanks to Mr Smith and of confidence in the Government was carried, thechsirm_n refusing to put an amendment to the effeot that the meeting had contu'socein the Government and io Mr Tanner as their representative.

Our Makotuku corresponde it writes nnder Saturday's date ; —Mr Hunter addressed the electors of this district in the Foresters' Hall on Thursday last, Mr T. Sidey presiding. The hall was gaily decorated with ferns, Digs, and flowers, while over tbe stage there was the inscription " Bonnd t_ Win." At the conolHsion of the address a vote of thanks, proposed ty Mrs Davis and seconded by Mrs Sidey, , was oarried' on a show of hands. On Friday Mr Hunter spoke at Ormondville. Tbe hall was crowded. Mrs Anderson, a lady well known io Napier, was voted to the chair and carried out tbe duties of tbe position ia a manner whioh drew encomiums from all. There was a large attendance uf ladies, and their presence tended to moderate a certain amount of parly feeling, whioh was at times evident. A vote of thanks and confidence was carried on a show of hands.— Mr Hill has been very busy during the past week inspecting the Ormondville, Norsewood, and Makotuku _oht tie, tbe examination of the last named being conoluded yesterday.

A small boat called the Seagull, whose bull could hardly be teon for sail, and containing three young fellows named Lindsay and H. and P. Kelly, started on Siturday from Fisherman's Bay in the teeth af a -trong gale, intending- to compete iv the yacht race. Before thoy bad reached the starting bnoy the boat capsized. The Butteroop and Ivy, whioh were handy, immediately rendered assist.

ance, and conveyed the shipwrecked dre<fr to the starter's boat. After the race was Btarted Mr Sainsbury pulled to tbe sunken boat, and with some difficulty righted thp craft and started the unfortunates, to look for tbeir oars and gear, but not many yards bad been traversed when the captain tried to jibe his cranky canoe, and in doing so again capsized ber. The . Loohe Fyne, which had just past .the judge's boat, picked tbe orew up .again and took them ashore, looking none the worse ior their unexpected experience* This should be a warning to Inexperienced hands carrying large spreads on suoh small | boats,

An ocoaslbnal correspondent at Onga Onga writes as follows :— " Sir,— At the conclusion of Mr Reardon's apology for a speech at Onga Onga on Friday night the chairman, Mr H, H. Bridge, the 'Squatter Liberal,' invited the meeting to ask Mr Reardon any questions relating to bis viows, and that gentleman would ba glad to answer them. Thereupon one questioner got up and asked a question which Mr Reardon had a great difficulty ia answering, and then another gentleman rose to ask a question, but before ha could do so the ohairman said he was surprised at the questioner coming to ask que*. lodb at their meeting, as they (the Liberals) had not attended the Conservative meeting to ask any questions. Mr Bridge further said- he thought the questioner should not have come at all, and had he been a gentleman ha would not have done so. This conduct on the part of Mr Reardon's chairman bas qnlte disgusted that candidate's supporters here, and coupled with the courteous manner and excellent common-sense speeches made through the dlstriot by Captain Russell, will Inorease the majorities of the gallant captain .throdghout tbis part ol the electorate, wbloh weie well assured already." . In our obituary columns will be found a notice of the death oi Captain Lanauze, father of Mr J. R. Lanauze. The deceased gentleman, who was Town Clerk oi Lyttleton for many years, was widely known and respected, and the news of bia death will be heard with regret by a large number. He held a commission In the 66th Regiment ot the Line, known as the Old Pompadour. His regiment was stationed ior several years, from 1818 to to 1852, in Gibraltar and Morocco. While stationed there Captain Lanauze was engaged In active services against the Moors. He married in Glbralter the lady who now mourns his loss, His regiment was ordered to proceed to the Crimea during the war with Russia, but its progress was stayed by the cessation of hostilities. In accordance with the wishes of the deceased gentleman tbe funeral was entirely private. AmoDg those who followed the remains to Avon-Ida Cemetery were Inspector Broham, Chief Deteotive O'Connor, members of tbe Civil Service, and many of the late captain's associates during bis twenty years of dlstriot police work. The coffin was covered with wreaths and immortelles .ent by relations and friends, Tbe Rev. H. C. M. Watson officiated at the grave.

Tbe service at the Cathedral yesterday morniog was interrupted by a very pain« ful combination of circumstance;*. Daring tbe reading of prayers by. the Dean, wbo waa conducting tho service, one of ths chorister boys was taken suddenly ill, and fell to the floor In a fainting condition. The little fellow was at onoe picked up by Mr Thornton, one of the adult members nf the choir, who oarried the boy in bis am.3 to the oholr vestry. Mr Blythe, Mr B»lfour, Mr Fielder, and other gentlemen left their seats at tba same time, and assisted in bringing the boy round. In the meantime another lad in the congregation showed symptoms of illness, and he was ao once helped out into the fresh air by Mr Cottrell, Almoßt Immediately a young lady fainted, but with Mr fronton's assistance she was enabled to walk out of.the Cathedral, and shortly after recovered. A little girl appeared to be hysterical later on in the service, and she wus conveyed to the vestry, but some time elapsed before she fully recovered consciousness. There can bs no doubt that tbe appearance of tha boy as he was being conveyed from tho choir stalls caused a shock io many nt tbe songregation, and chi. evidently explains the subsequent ovente. The tact tbat the temperature, especially for this period of the year, waß decidedly cool, and not in the least oppressive, serves to confirm tha general impression as to tbe cause of the extraordinary chapter of accidents yesterday morning. Oar Waipawa correspondent writing on Saturday says:— Today B. Boyle was oharged before Mr loglis, J. P., with being drunk in a public place. He did not appear, and his fine of £1 was estreated,— It is remarkable that on this occasion tbe eleotion Is being conducted with great good humor on both sides. lam inclined to account for this, by the altered demeanor ot the local paper under its present management,— The express going south to day ran into a valuable horse, cutting it to pieces, at the ugly curve going into Kopua.— Mr Smith, Crown Lands ranger, got into a bog on the road near Weber, and nearly lost the number of bis mess. Falling off hiß bone, the latter ln its struggles tried (o make a ladder of him. The softness of the mat .rial probably saved Mr Smith's lifo. —There are going to be some phenomenal polls in the bush on Tuesday. It is estimated that 1000 will vote at Woodville, 740 at Danevirke, and 500 at Woipokurau. You will see how this estimate tallies when the numbers are up.— Captain Russell had a very succe.stnl meetiog at Onga Onga on Friday at 5 p.m, the Hall being packed. Mr J. B. Rhodes occupied the chair. Tbe meeting was very enthusiastic, and a unanimous vote of confidence was passed. The same evening at 8 Captain Russell addressed his Waipawa meetiog. The hall was filled, In spite of the b.d weather, a large nnmber of ladies putting in an appearance. Mr W. White occupied tbe chair, and introduced Captain Russell in a f ,w well chosen words. The speaker had a most attentive hearing, being interrupted only by applause, and a vote of confidence and tbanks was carried with few dissentients.
