The Salvation Army held a teiufight or H iun- worry, m Dunedin, m which about J 600 people took part. .The Army is on the narch. P The hearing of the charge against L.L. jevy was concluded yesterday afternoon, vhen he was committed for trial. The lefendant was admitted to bail, himself n £100, and two sureties of £50 each. On Tuesday, at Fahiatua, m the 40---nile bush a man .named Murphy re:eivedaerioDß injuries, when engaged on i bushfelling contract. The injuries are jhiefly to the spine, the effect being that ;he lower part of hisbodyis partially para« lized. It is feared Jbe will not recover the effects of the injurj which are of a pery seiious character. "We believe Murphy is a single man. The glass ball match is to take place to»morrow afternoon at Messrs Euss ell Bros. Te Matai, Mr Bennie bringing out all- the necessary paraphernalia by train this' evening. We remind our readers of Mr Snelaon's very important auctions to-morrow, advertisements of which will be found elsewhere. # An advertiser m the Win^anui papers wants at once, a good tortoiseshell torn cat, :. about i. 12 months old.' Ho surely desires some music by night. To make room for other matter' our leading article is held over. A smart boy is wanted: at the Aerated Water JPactory. The telephone with Ashuret is now conY siderably used.. To»day an advertisement reached us m reference to a lost pocket* book, but before the paper went, ,to press a message was received that the missing property had been found. """" We notice m the Cemetery the gates of some of the grave 'enclosures have been left open alls wing sheep to wander: m and destroy vthe flowers and shrubs plant ed thereon by loving hands. In the case of the grave of the late Mr Waters, who met with a .sad death; by; drowning, and whose grave wis one; of the ,. most..at* tentively cared for m the cemetery, we notice that, the gate now hangs open, and sad havoc has been caused to the flowers and plants on the grave by the sheep, the -surface of the grave being all trodden down and wearing quite a neglected ap« pearance. So. long as this species of larjikiuism prevails, the best way w to miake t the gateV of each grave enclosure -secure by a stout chain and paddlock. TVe learn that Messrs Hunslow and Voigt, cabinet-makers, have obtained the for furnishing the additions to -the Oommercial Hotel, now iv course of completion. In their hands the . wjork will be faithfully and' creditably carried but. The furnishing will be on a very, substantial scale. ' . • '- •'; We have received from a Punedin firm ■of publishers a 'sheet' of what purports to be likenesses of the 24 Irish lnvuicibles, among them Carey, Brady, &c, &c Accompanying it was a circular offering to ; supply copies as a supplement. We did not order any, as we doubt if the gift would be appreciated; by: our readers. What purports to be the liken ees of Dan Delaney hears a most astonishing resem« blance to a certain resident well known m musical circles. If he only had his ' hat over His eyes, it would be prbnounced a lifelike picture. It ia about the only taking sketch m the lot, and "We fancy must be flattering to Pan Pelaney.
