Fund to Find Wobe fob thb UnbmMiOYbd.— Wa are glad to see the suggestion made in our columns by " A Sympathiser " a week ago, is being taken ap. Mr P. B. Adams started the Fund with £2 2s, next the

memberaol the" Nelson Dramatio Clob proffere 1 their servideß, and ttiVprooeeds of tonight's entertainment go towards tbe same, 4"<d now we bave to chronicle that bis Worship the Mayor bas reoeived £4 10a, whioh haß been subscribed by the Corporation's employees. No doubt the latter example will be followed and sabscrip.ions will be made in the offioe", warehouses, snd workshops. UnxmMidved Benefit.— We would remind our readers of the benifit to be given in the Tbeatre Royal this evening in aid of the unemployed. Tbere is keen distress ia tbe oity at present, many working people being i i straitened circumstances. Aoting on the advioe of '-some nf tbe oitizens, oertain of the unemployed oalled on the c eoretary of rhe Nelson Dramatio Sooiety and offered to sell i ickets. The management readil9 agreed, and are to pay the men fifteen per oent on sales effect -d. At least one of tbe applicants presented a really sad appearnnoe. He bas bad li t'e work for four or five months, and is Bn industrious, bard working man. We do not think that any one who oan afford i' will ba unwilling to buy a tioket, tbe shop keepers especially doing all they oan, as the money mußt be turned over in food and olothing. Iv other townß the Bame tbing hae bsen d.me with great sncoess, and we trust Nelson will not be behind in a eaheme tbat is to forward tbe oity's embellishment and help the ppor. " Partners for Life," as staged come time ago, was in every way a suoceesful enteittinment, and tbe management are working even harder than before to ensure suooess. The prices are fixed at two shillings the front seats abd one shi'lin* all otber parts of tbe house. We trust the Sooiety will be repaid for their servioes by a bumper house. En Route. — By tbe Wainui yesterday, Mr W. Tyree was a passenger en route far England, where he seeks to develop a large number of original and purchased patents, of whioh he is proprietor. While in England, Mr Tyree will do his best to bring our distriot to the front in the most favorable way, ! and, witb tbat end in. view, takes a large | se'eo.ioo of lantern slides depioting beauty spots. Many of these were shown on the | Urge screen above Mr Tyree's shop' oa Satar- 1 day night, and were witnessed by quite a crowd of townsfolk.- A large number of friends assembled to see Mr Tyree start on his way ytßterday. Pbdigbee Stock — Mr H. Bethwaite, of Riwaka, advertises in this issue that he has calves for sale by bis Shorthorn pedigree bull, 'Young Mussulman," This bull was bought by Mr Inglis (whose farm Mr Bethwaite purchased) from Mr Ross, of Patea, and his father was tbe ohampidn bull "Mussulman." wbioh carried off prize, all over the Colony, and the champion prize at Srdney. Messrs Fear and MalcOck, the tant.-rbary stook dealers, when here, we are told, advised farmers to „o in for pure bred Shorthorns, and this should offer a good ohance to breeders. " Young Mussulman " oame here a oali, and has not b9en shown in this district, but at the forthcoming show he will make his publio appearance. The Waimeas. — At the present time the oountry is looking splendid, wearing, as it is, its spring mantle. Although the young grain orops are looking nioe and green, a few showers of rain would be weloome to help tbem in tbeir growth. The lambing season has been a very prolifio one on the plains, as high as 100 per oent having been obtained ia some oases, but higher up the per centage has been very low, no doabt owing to the severe frosts and snow. . A ride or drive in tbe oountry just now is really delightfal, and well repays anyone taking the same. Deaths of Old Settlbbs.— We have to announoe the deaths of Mr George Saywfrll, senior, and Mr George Bampton, both very old and muoh respeoted settlers. Trie former resided for many years at Richmond, and bis upright and sterling character won for him many friends. Notwithstanding he was in his 92nd year the last time we saw him going down Queen street io Riohmond, we noted his soldier-like appearance. The late Mr George Bimpt >n arrived here with his wife in tbe Bombay in 1842. He joined ! Captain Wakefield's survey party, and waa present at the lamentable Wairau mass iore, and in making his esoapa suffered muoh t being a fortnight in reaching Nelson. Some time ago be went to booth Austra'ia, where bis family resides. He died tbe otber day at Adelaide, leaving a widow, five eons, one daughter, thirty-tbree grandchildren, and three great grandohildren to mourn his loss. A Deserved Recognition. — We learn that Sergeant Major Pratt has reoeived a oheque for £5 from the Government to be banded to Constable O'Brien iv recognition of that officer's recent service* in saving the local Government Buildings from destruction by fire. The gift is aooompanied by a letter. Police Coubt.— The business of this Court will be transacted this morning at the Polioe Station, tbe Courthouse being in the hands of the varnisber". Oddfellows' Ball, Wakefield. — The annual ball in connection wit 1 ! the Mansion of Peaoe Lodge took plaoe on Friday evening at Baigent's Hall, Wakefield, and proved an undoubted success. Tnere were about forty couples, praaent, and dancing vwas. kept up with moon spirit till about tbree o'olook on Saturday morning. Dr Pearless oarried oat the duties ot M.C. very' efficiently, the floor was in good ordei, and the musio, whioh was supplied by Mias Levy (violin), Messrs Pollard (piooolo), H. Finney (piano), and Martin (baBB), gave muoh satisfaction, wbile the refreshments were good. It was noticeable, bowever, that outside the oommittee the Oddfellows were conspicuous by their absence. Of tbe oommittee, is must be said tbat tbe members worked well, and all present enjoyed a very pleasant n ght. Pbohbnade Concert. — The Stoke Orphanage Brass Band gave a promenade oonoert in the BoJanioal Gardens Reserve yesterday afternoon, when tbere wai a good attendance, and th*. selections performed were very muoh appreoiiied. ' ! Gband Maobi Entbitaihiibht.— To-morrow evening will be given ia »he Theatre Royal an entertainment of a vary rare nature, and indeed of a kind tbat there is every reason to believe will beoome an impossibility in a few more years. Desiroai of raising funda with wbioh to rebuild their Ohuroh, the Maoris of Motueka bave secured the assistance of Natives of the North Island, and will give a representation of exciting war dances, of stirring battle cries, of some of the pastimes formerly indulged in by the Raoe, aDd also some of their peouliar songs. The entertainment was recently given in Motu'ka, where il was very greatly appreciated, and a fall house may be anticipated- to-morrow evening.
