The gale last night was very severe, and did a certain amount of damage to window glass, &c, About 5 o'clock this morning there was a very heavy thunderstorm, the lightning being very vivid. We give a reminder of the meeting which taken place to-moirow evening at Mr T. Knowles, hotel, to consider the proposed scratch hack meeting for Boxing Day, at Opua. Sir Robert Stout says we are losing hundreds of thousands of pounds a year by wantonly burning down timber, and he does not consider timber lauds should be sold for settlement. Mr T. Fisher, successor to Mr Rennell as West Coast Reserves agent, accompanied by Mr Broughton (Ngarangi), were in Opunake on Wednesday and Thursday on business connected with the Native Reserves. The bore at Ornate has now been driven nearly 1500 feet without giving encouragement to the promoters. When it finally reaches that depth, if nothing turns up in the meantime, the borers are going to take their machinery back near to the old and productive bore on the verge of the sea coast. A grand concert will be given in the Awatuna Hall, on Wednesday next, in aid of the hall funds. After the concert a dance will be held. Awatuna is noted for the pleasant gatherings which take place there, and all those patronising the above concert and dance may rely on a pleasant evening's entertain-, ment. A sequel to the Dean case was the suicide of Mrs Adey, a witness before the royal Commission. The woman was of respectable character, but the worry of the incident and case unhinged her mind. She received a subpiena on behalf of Dean in the perjury case, and this prompted her to take her life, which she did by jumping down a well. Ostrich farming has been developed in California to such an extent as to control the American market for plumes and a large export trade is being worked up. The birds are hatched by incubation, and are reared the same as any other fowls. About two hundred are sold every year at prices ranging from 140 to 300 dollars. Mails for Australian Colonies, via Sydney, also for India, China, Japan, Strait Settlements, and South Africa, also Continent of Europe and United Kingdom, via Brindisi, due in London 10th December (for specially marked correspondence), will close at Wellington, per Hauroto, on Tuesday, 29th inscant, at noon, and at Opunake on Saturday, 2Gth instant, at 7 am. Mr J. H. Young, son of the late Mr Andrew Young, and now resident in Sydney, has taken a position of some prominence among the water color artists of that city. To the recent exhibition of the Art Society of New South Wales he contributed 11 pictures, all of which were accepted. The art critic of the Sydney Daily Telegraph speaks in praise of Mr Young's pictures of marine life about the wharves and harbor. A sensitive cab horse and a four wheeler drew up in front of a theatre the other night, and a portly old gentleman alighted. Having handed the cabby his strict legal fare, he turned round and made his way into the building. " Excuse me, sir,-' said the weather-beaten cabby, " but would yor oblige me by not passing in front of the old boss. If he sees what weight lie has pulled for a bob, he will simply drop down dead. A more popular reform which the Tories are said to be meditating may take the form of the abolition of the Lord-Lieuten-ancy of Ireland and the establishment instead of a royal residence there and a recognised Prince of the distressful country. The duke of Connaught would bo invited to be first occupant of the throne, and his title would be Prince of Ireland. This little scheme is Mr Balfour's, and he believes it might work extremely well. Add a strong Land Bill to it, and the back of the Home Rule agitation would, 'tis thought, be broken. In England, of course, 'tis broken now, but the Irish constituencies remain as severely Nationalist as ever.

Tenders close on Monday next with Mr W. D. Scott for bushfelling at Opua. Messrs Nolan, Tonks and Co notify entries for the Opunake stock sale, which takes place on Tuesday next.

The play will be given on Saturday evening on which day the bazaar closes.

Those who never read the advertisements in their newspapers miss more than they presume. Jonathan Kenison, of Bolan, Worth Co., lowa, who had been troubled with rheumatism in his back, arms and shoulders, read an item in his paper about how a prominent German citizen of Ft. Madison had been cured. He procured the same medicine, and to use his own words: "It cured me right up." He also says: A neighbor and his wife were both sick in bed with rheumatism. Their boy was over to my house and said they were so bad that he had to do the cooking.,. I told him of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and how it cured me, he procured a bottle of it and it cured them up in a week. For sale by Newman Bros.
