’Frisco Mail.— The local portion of tho English mail via ’Frisco, which arrived at Auckland on Saturday morning, is expected to bo brought over by the Kanieri to-night. Accident. —That rinking is not quite free from danger is evident from the fact that another accident occurred, this time on tho floor of Ewart’s Hall, on Friday last, when, owing to a collision, Mrs Elbeclc fell and broke one of her arms above the wrist.

A Correction. —Mr H. B. Huddleston, Secretary to the Turnbull Memorial Fund, requests us to corroct an error in the statement of receipts in connection with that fund that appeared in our Saturday’s issue. The correct total of receipts was £22 7s, not £23 7s as published. A detailed statement is open for inspection at Mr Huddleston’s office.

Fire at Tua Marina. —An out-building belonging to Mr Thos. Robinson was destroyed by fire last week. A considerable quantity of seed corn, harness and sundries were destroyed, and the loss is estimated at LSO. The fire was discovered just in time to enable a team of horses to be rescued, otherwise the loss would have been much more serious.

The Colors. —The members of the St. Andrew’s Football Club looked very well in their gay uniforms on Saturday afternoon. Their colors are amber and black, and tho whole of the fifteen wore jerseys of that color, the effect being a very pleasing one. Before the game was started the team was photogaphed by Mr Harris, photographer. Joined the Majority.— Mr M. Leonard, who has for' some years past acted as corporation lamplighter, died yesterday, after a fortnight’s illness. Deceased arrived in 1874 and was formerly a resident of Renwick.

Marlbobouoh Hunt Club. - Considerable disappointment was expressed on Saturday at the non appearance of. the hounds at the meet at the appointed time, “ punctuality now being the order of the day,” but the huntsman received a telegram—“ Hunt postponed. It hails ; it rains; it snows ;it blows.” But a hunting we did go, after “fox,” but with very little success, some of our enthusiastic sportsmen declaring that everything which got up in front of them was “hair.” The huntsman, with his customary politeness, offered to introduce him to the proper animal. The hounds leave for Havelock on Monday, leaving their kennels at 1 o’clock sharp. Mr "Weller will be pleased to see anyone at that hour who intends going through. Grand sport is anticipated, and visitors from Blenheim will be entertained at a ball in the evening. The Boous Subcription List.—As will be seen from our magisterial columns, the man Jackson, alias Ellis, who “fleeced” several residents of various small sums during the past few days, was brought up at the B.M. Court on Saturday morning, and remanded until this morning at 11 o’clock. It appears that not only did the residents of Blenheim fall into the trap, but we are informed that the accused also made good use of his time in Picton. He, however, did not let his Blenheim subscribers know that he had been up to the same business in Picton, as ho had started a new list here. Accused is well known in Blenheim, having been employed here about fifteen months ago. The "local police are to be complimented on the smart manner in which they brought their man “to earth.” About midday on Saturday Sergeant Scanlan received the following telegram from Havelock, “A German came through by Pickering’s coach yesterday, and he is staying at Pope’s. ‘O. Jacbson ’is Witten on his portmanteau. He intends going on to Nelson on Monday to meet his mate who intends leaving Blen- j lieim by the steamer. He evidently is 1 Mair£” The telegram speaks for itself.

Neaply Fatal. —Those who happened to he passing along Market Street South J about noon on Saturday witnessed an" occurrence that nearly resulted in the loss of life. Mr William Walker was passing the office of this paper, driving a portable engine. The horses, the leaders in particular, were rather frisky, and thus caused the engine to swerve. Mr Walker unfortunately lost his balance and fell over, landing on his back, with his legs and part of his body under the wheel of the engine. He evidently maintained his presence of mind, and managed to get his legs partly clear. At the same moment the horses swerved off and the wheel just escaped going over his body. A fatal accident was thus narrowly averted. Holloway's Ointment. —Sores, ulcerations, wounds and other diseases affecting the skin, are amendable by this cooling and healing unguent. It has called forth the loudest praises from persons who have suffered for years from bad legs, abscesses, and chronic ulcers, after every hope of cure has long passed away. None but those who have experienced the soothing effect of this Ointment can form an idea of the comfort it bestows, by restraining inflammation and allaying pain. Whenever this Ointment has been once used, it has established its own worth, and has again been eagerly sought for, as the easiest and safest remedy for all ulcerous complaints. In neuralgia, rheumatism and gout, tbe same application, properly used, gives wonderful relief
