Wanoapeka Licensing Meeting. — The annual meeting of the Wangapeka Licensing Committee was held in the old schoolroom, Tadmor, on Saturday, the Gth mat, when the following members were present: Messrs G. Kideon (Chairman), Hubert Mead, F. M. Brewerton, and B. Harford. Accommoda* tion lioensea were granted to the following : — Robert Stewart, Gordon Downs ; N. Longney, Top House ; J. J Corlett, Motupiko Inn ; T. A. Bromell, Motueka Valley Accommodation House ; 0. M Wright, the Ferry ; A. E Taylor Baton Accommodation House, Baton. The police report was- favorable except in the last two named. In the case of Wright the police stated that complaints had been made by the relations of a man whom it was alleged had been "lambed down " at the Perry, but the man himself had said nothing about it. After hearing Mr Wright's explanation, the license was crentually granted as above. Reference was also made in the report as to the want of better stable accommodation at the Baton house, but the applicant's son, who was in attendance, informed the Committee that the necessary improvements bad been oarried out during the last fortnight, and the license was granted. Some discussion ensued as to the j advisability of raising some of the fees, but it was ultimately agreed to let them remain at the old rate for this year. [ Coming Lectures.— We learn that Mr B. 1 Tennyson Smith will shortly pay Nelson a visit It is stated that Mr B. S Srayfche, the well known and much travelled agent and caterer for publio entertainments, offered Mr Smith 10 guineas a night for lecturing, and a twelve months engagement. This fact proves that Mr Smith must be a lecturer of great merit. Nelson City Riflis.— This Company will assemble for Government parade at half-past seven thia evening, Oddfellows Social.— A eoeial gathering will take place at the Oddfellows' Hall this evening, when members of the order and their friends will no doubt spend a pleasant evening. FIBE AT COLLINOWOOD. — BATTERY AND Machine Shed Destroyed.— A telegram was received last evening by Sergt Slattery from Constable Dew, who is stationed at Collingwood, reporting that on Sunday night the machine shed and battery of the Red Hill Gold Mining Company was destroyed by fire. The machinery, which had been sent out by the Red Hill Company, and which had not yet been used, was of considerable value, some portions, such as the hydrogen amalgamator, being practically unique of its kind, but it is quite possible that the whole may not have been destroyed. We understand that the machine shed was a very substantial one, a considerable amount of concrete having been used in its construction. The Bed Hill Company is purely an English venture. Constable Dew, in his ..report, states that the .property destroyed was insured in the Union Office for £1500. ! Grand Limelight Exhibition. —On Thursday evening Mr Holland will give a grand limelight exhibition at the Theatre Royal, commencing at 8 o'clook. The views to be shown embrace a series illustrating lights and shades of London life, as well as a number of effect scenes, statuary, and two or three interesting local piotures, besides some humorous views. Popular prices are announced, and already a great number of tickets have been disposed of. We understand that Mr W. Look will give the descriptive lecture. A Recent Accidknt.— We are informed. that Mr F. P. O'Neill, who recently met with a most unpleasant accident at Stoke, when h& was thrown out of a trap and fell against a telegraph post with such force that one of his ears was nearly cut off, has bo far recovered that he is now able to take the management of the Nelson Hotel during the absence of his brother, who is leaving on a trip through the North Island. : Export of Game.— The export of game from Nelson is growing in importance, but we regret to hear that a large recent consignment of quail shipped to Dabedin arrived there in such condition that the Inspector i reported that the birds were unfit fox food;; and refused to allow the quail being offered for sale. We are informed that the cause of j the birds arriving in suoh condition is attributed to their haying been badly paoked ; and, that being so, it is to be hoped that the lesson will be taken to heart and greater care exercised in future. At Glasgow recently a gipsy named Viera Smith, or Allison, was sentenced to four months' imprisonment for pretending to tell the fortune of a girl named Henderson, whom she swindled out of a large sum of money. She frequently visited the girl, each time delaying her prophecy arid demanding more money To meet these demands her dupe pawned her mother's gold watch and several other, things, handing over to the gipsy a total sum of about £40. Is it true (asks an English paper), that the clothing suits of the Salvation Army are made at Hudderefield, at the rate of 14s a suit, whereas the price, if no sweating was involved, would be from 33s to 34s a Buit? If that be co, Mr Booth is liable to the very grave charge of doing in private what he condemns in public. . . Dobing the sermon in the Banbridga Presbyterian Churbh the other day, a number of young persons became faint, arid had to be taken oat. As the sermon was about to conclude, the congregation rose, seized with a common feeling of panic,, and left. On reaching the open air, a number became sick or giddy and faint. Eveiy effort was made for their restoration, and in half an hour they were able to go home, though still suffering. , The cause of the trouble is believed to have been the fumes from a stove or flues of the heaticg apparatus - There was no afternoon school, and the evening service lasted only a few minutes, the minister being himself unwell, :Who can it be? Writing on dummyism reminds the 'Rangitikei Advocate' of a story told; some time ago by a T member of a Land B^rd.

A Yotract husband was sued at the St Kilde Court the other day for £17 10s for meah supplied to him while he was courting his wife. He must have been a very oonstant aE well as an amorous Bwain to have made snob inroads upon the family larder. He was ordered to pay £10 10s.
