Tbottiko SiALLioN.—We are informed that a young trotting stallion of some value will be imported into the district shortly. Tbe horse was selected by Mr John Eerr, of Nelson, whioh is a sufficient guarantee of its qualities. Embezzlement.— W, G. Morgan, subpostmaster at Inangahua Junotion, has been committed for trial at the Supreme Court, Nelson, for embezzling a registered letter containing £22, posted by G. Bryan to the Colonial Bank. He was also remanded on two other oharges. Tempkbance Convention.— A convention of the Good Templars of the North Island is to be held at Palmerston North on the 19th of November. The Grand Chief Templar, Mr Adams, of Dunedin, and the Revs. F. W. leitt, E. Walker, and other prominent temperanoe leaders will -be present. Magistebial.— The following civil business was transaoted this morning, Mr J. Alleo, 8.M., on the Benoh :— M. Foley v. A. McCusker £1 4s 44, judgment for plaintiff by default with oosts 63. F. T. Farmar v. E. Buokridge, olaim £27 !<•> on dishonored promissory note. Mr McCallum appeared for plaintiff, tor whom judgment was given by default with ooßts £3 Is. Dodson and Co. v. Barlow and Co., olaim of £141 9s, amount of a dishonored promissory note. Mr MoOallum appeared for plaintiffs. The oaße was adjourned for a week. Other oases had been settled out of Court. Salvation Abmt. — The speoial meetings m oonneotion with the self-denial movement of the local branch of the Salvation Army, are going off very successfully. Tbere was a large attendance at the gift auotion last night, and a goodly number of the artioles contributed by members and friends of the Army were sold. There iB a special attraction tbis evening m the form of a musioal meeting, m whioh the Band will take the principal part. The members of the Band have been practising Rssiduously for Eome time past, and the numbers m whioh they appear— oombined Beleotions, trios, duets, solos, etc. will be sure to please. The programme also comprises a number of vooal item?. Admission to the Barraoks is free, and a cordial invitation is given to all. Live Stock Shipment.— A reoent cable says tbat only 200 of tbe bulleoks ex Southern Cross were Bold, They brought prioea rangiDg from £11 10s to £17 10?. The remainder were not offered, and were to be put up at Deptford yesterday. The best of the sheep brought 33 3d per etone at Smithfield, and the poor and rough oneß 2s 3d, 2s 4d, and 2a 6d per stone. Some butchers consider these Bales show that it is impossible for Australia to Buocesjfolly coropete m the live stock -trade, wSilb WUWi say that the initiation of the American trade experienced heavier losses. The Mark-lane Express states that the mortality of the Southern Cross oattle sbowß that tbe venture is unnatural, and oannot pay anyhow. It adds tbat tbe infamous oruelty to beaßta by the protracted voyage ought to be suppressed. Gold Mining.— A Post oorrespondent at Tauranga reports that gold mining operations of a definite oharacter have been oommenoed at Te Puke, reoently brought within the mining area. Two shifts were put on yesterday to work that portion of Lee's 1000 acres (500 sores) reoently acquired by Mr Fleming on behalf of a wealthy syndicate. Mr Fleming is a mining expert, and is bo satisfied with what be has already seen tbat he is making arrangements for tbe erection of a battery. A syndicate with a CBpital of £250 has been formed to thoroughly test a olaim adjoining Mr Fleming's previous to its flotation into a company. Three more claims have been taken up on the same line of reef and several areas have been pegged out on the Katikati side of tbe Te Aroha range, where numerous gold-bearing reefs are known to exist. The? abb Stbangebs Now.— An amuaicg incident, which bad tbe unfortunate effect of extinguishing an incipient spark, wbioh fanned by more favorable breezes, might have developed into " love's hot flame," ooourred a few days ago, not a hundred miles from Blenheim. A sweet damsel was wending homewards, when she met a newly formed male acquaintance, for whom she hopefully entertained a more than friendly sympathy, a sentiment whioh was heartily reoiprooated by tbis " deuoedly jolly Johnnie." Said Johnnie gallantly offered to " carry your parcel, miss," and even after tbe assurance that it was not the least oumbersome, being merely a little crewel work (I), be made frantic endeavorj, as evidence of his good breeding, to relieve the lady of her burden. At this moment the paper wrapper of the parcel treaoherouely gave way, and a long chain of most tempt" ing pork sausages was revealed to haDg gracefully over tbe shapely arm of tbe heroine. Tableau 1 Disappearing trick, m one aot of Johnnie ; tears of damsel, and malediotiona on butoher and ma. Tbe Johnnie says he never sausage (saw euoh) a thing. Besignation or Mr Nanoarrow. — Tbe Garrison Band will reu-ier the following epecial programme from tbe Rotunda on Saturday evening, commencing at 8.15 o'clock: — " Marob, "Eainton"; polka, "Jupiter and Mars" ; selection, " Tancredi" ; polka. %< Lilliputian" ; selection, •' Somnambula" j polka, " Julia" ; march, " Love Not," The occasion will mark the end of Mr G. Nanoarrow's term of bandmasterahip, Mr Nancarrow, wbo sent m his resignation of the position some months Bgo, has led the Band for four years and a half with au ability and success which are sufficiently evidenced bf the proficiency which the Baud has attained under his tuition. Ho has been connected with bauds for over thirty years, having held leaderships m England, America, VictorU, Tasmania, Otago, Nelson, and other places m. New Zealand, including the bandmastership of the local Hibernian Band for almost four years ; aad this resignation means his retirement at least m an aotive sense, from instrumental circles for Bouie time, probably for good. His loss will ba much felt, The three polkas m the above programme are treble tonguiug pieces, and as this will be the last opportunity of hearing MrNancarrow'a favorite cornet playine th«y will no doubt be Jtnuch appreciated.

1 Fatal Accident.— The polioe received news late tbis afternoon that a young man named George Radd was killed at the Dumgree Station to-day m an aooident with an oatoruehsr. No particulars of the unfortunate oocurrenoe have yet oome to hand. The young man is well known looally, Mb parents residing m Blenheim. An inquest will be held at Dumgree to-morrow by Mr T. Horton. Winding -tr Obdbb.— ln the Supreme Court m Chambers tbis morning, before ! Mr J. Allen, Registrar, Mr Couolly moved for and obtained an order for winding up the Deep Greek Sluioing Company Limited. A meeting of the creditors of the Company was directed to be held at the Court House, Blenheim, on the 24th Ootober at 2 p.m. The petition upon wbioh the order was granted was presented by three of the shareholders m the Company. Mortality.— At the Mackenzie County Counoil meeting (says the Timaru Herald) Mr Rutherford said tbe young men m oharge of the Mistake Station had been down, and they reported that there were a good many cheep running about. They were very thin, but if they did not die from young feed the loss would not be so heavy on the run as had been feared. It was stated that the winter had been as severe on the rabbits as on tbe cheep, and thai they were to be seen lying dead m bunches —even m tans and dozen. In one place 25 had been counted lying dose together. Riding Habits. — Another lot of those famous navy and black sergeß for ladies' habits, men's and boys' euits, at 4s 6d per yard, never Bold under 7a 6d, they are going very fast. Ladies' tan kid gauntlet gloves, all sizes, 2s 6d a pair, honestly worth 53 6d. Ladies' tan four-button kid gloves, Is 9d, usual price 43 6d. See our tremendous show outside of heavy twill flannelettes, 4Jd a yard, worth 7£d. Children's double-knee black ribbed Cashmere hose, Is per pair, cheap at 2s 3d.— R. Allan. Persons of Dbucitk Constitution, who are obliged to abstain from ordinary Coffee, should try Cbbabk's Tabaxaodm or Dandelion Coffee, which is recommended by the highest Medioal Authorities as a very valu« able beverage for those suffering from weak digestion, flatulency, nervousness Not to know is not to have. A bevebb rheumatic pain m the left Bhouldedr had troubled Mr J. H. Loper, a well-known druggist of Des Moines, lowa, for over six months. At times tbe pain was co severe that he could not lift anything. With all he could do he oould not get rid of it until he applied Chamberlain's Pain Balm. " I only msde three applications of it," be says, "and have sinae been free from all pain." He now reoommends it to pereona similarly affiioted. For Bale by F. Shaw, Medioal Hall, Blenheim, " Making Both Ends Meet" is rather a difficult task m life with many, but tbe expanse of good cooking is reduced to a minimun by using.the Sun Baking Powdeb, purer and cheaper than most others. Give it a trial. A Soabe m the Webt-end occurred late the other night when it was rumoured that war had been deolared between Franoe and Germany. The possibility of suoh an outbreak being imminent created the wildest exoitement and alarm. And no wonder, for the result would, indeed, be fearful. But, after all, ia not a war equally terrible and far more fatal being waged every day m our midst ? Every day, m civilised England, man and women are fighting against tbe countless legions of disease, and often, alas ! they are ill-equipped for the struggle. Let them lay m a stock of Holloway's Pills. Against Buoh artillery ill-health oan make no headway. Qiddinees, liver complaints, and all impurities of the blood fade away 'like Matabele before the Maxim gun. PaeHBSS&R^ LiaßEa saysl --«< We shall never know now men were first *direoted to ( tbe use of Coffee, but we may consider the artiole bo remarkable for its action on the brain and the substance of tbe organs of motion ac an element of food for organs yet unknown, who are destined to convert tbe blood into nervous substances and thus recruit the energy of tbe moving and thinks ing faculties." If you wish to benefit your* self you oould not do better than drink Cbeabe'b A. I. Coffees. Sold everywhere m 1 and 2 lb. tine. For it is the beer. Gbrtainly the best medicine known is Sandeb and Sons' Ecoai/xpti Extbaot. Test its eminently powerful effeots m oonghp, colds, influenza ; the relief is instantaneou?.
