PIUOK to the third indictment agaiur-t Hugh Jones being- proceeded with, J\lr Fell said ho should be glnd if His Honor would arrange abou u the older in which the cas.s were to be token. The arson case against McLeary would, })e beliorcd. occupy moiv than ;i day. and ho would therefore suggest that ifc should not be tried until Monday. This was agrosd to. and the first civil case will accordingly not be taken until Tuesday next. Thk lovers of fun, good music, singing, and dancing will ho pleased to learn that Clark & Ryman's Comedy Company will appear at the Theatre to-morrow and Saturday evening. The Company wire to have opened in Wellington, but kindly gave their tinted to a local benefit, hence their stoppage here, they having- found out on the arrival of the steamer Hawca that the Theatre was disengaged for those two nights. The Company have just finished a successful five weeks' engagement at Abbott's Opera House. Auckland, and the press of that ci-y speaks in the most fluttering terms of them. The Melbourne Arffu.* say* f-" This talented troupe have struck out a new line, and the hard and fust lines which seemed to bind former troupes have been severed, the result being, not only a 7ioyelty, but an exceedingly pleasant entertainment. Light sketches are provided, and the end in view in their selections is to give the audience a thoroughly happy evening's emp'oymeut. Tiie laughter, in fucfc, was almost continual until the fall of the curtain. Taken altogether the Company is undoubtedly the best t-f its kind which lias been seen here for muuy « long day, and if merit counts for anything should command another big house to-night aud during the week.'" Each purchaser of a front seat ticket will receive a beautiful photograph of the leading cdebriu.s of the day, including, Hanlon, Beach, Laycock. Mrs Langtry, and Henry Irviug. Others are on sale at the principal shops in the town. At the Waimea Eoad Hoard meeting held yesterday at the Temperance Hall, the two newly elected members, Messrs Franklyn and Lines, took their seats. Fifteen applications for the post of Secretary and Overseer were opened. The acting clerk (Mr W. White) received the appointment. A cricket match will be played on Saturday at Brightwater between the local and the Richi.iond Cricket Clubs, the following players to represent Brightwater :— Lines, Silcock (2) ¥. Noal H. Fayen, Arnold (3) Satherley, Foster, and Cole. At a meeting of the Nelson Lodge of Oddfellows, held last night, of whom Dr. Leggatt is surgeon, a resolution expressing sympathy with him in his late accident was passed by that Lodge. Our Brigb l water correspondent writes : — Having seen a paragraph in this morning's Colonist to the effect that Busch was so ill that his removal to the Hospital was meditated, I took the trouble this morning to pny him a visit. He has just passed through a period of acute inflammation of the lungs. Having commeuced in the left or wounded side it extended to the right lung, which is now however quite recovered. The inflammation has also gone down in the wounded lung, aud the cough has almost left him. He is still, however, short of breath, owing to the blood which has collected in the left side lam requested to stale that so far at least as Busch or hi6 friends are concerned, there is no truth wna f ever that arrangements are to be made for his removal to the Hospital; indeed Dr Satchell has now more hope of his nltimats recovery than he has hitherto had. aud removing him just now would doubtless do more harm than, gocd. Oun readers arc reminded of A. 0. Aitkon's sale of new potatoes at his rooms in Bridgestreet at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning. Persons whose avocations are sedentary and confine them indoors, are especially in need of some wholesome stimulant ; we therefore confidently oiler them that world-re nowned tonic, Wolye's Scux.vi'i's.
