A number of young ladies intend holding a Doll Show in the Freemasons' Hall on Wednesday, 15th September. Aa it is in aid of the public library fund, they hopb tho public will patronise it. In addition to the Doll Show, which in itself is a new idea in New Plymouth, there i will be othor attactions, including refreshi ment and flower stalls, art exhibition tableaux, sinking competition, waxworks, etc. The dolls, which are arranged in scenes, can be bought at any time durin* tho show, but are not to bo removed until nine o'clock The Cogill Minstrels, says the Wairarapa Daily, have wound up tho Boason in Masterton with a " breakdown." It appears that the Cogill Bros are under enKagoment to Messrs Smith and Grant, and the creditors of tho troupe in this town have been displaying a laudable anxiety this morning to obtain a settlement of their claims but in vain. Mr. Grant rdfera tbe victims of misplaced consndence to Mr. Smith, whose address is said to be somewhere in the Forty Mile Bush. The members of the Company, in tho absence of Mr. Smith, have refused to proceed on their tour. The sore point with the creditors here is that while the company have taken between thirty and forty pounds of Masterton money they have no; appropriated the receipts to the liquidation of Masterton liabilities. Last Sunday morning Mr. Morris, of Oakura, on awakening found his loft hand much swollen, and ho came into town to consult Dr. O'Carroll, who at once pronounced the swelling as resulting from the bite of a katipo spider. On returning home Mr. Morris stated what the doctor had said, and Mrs. Morris remarked that it wag evidently quite correct, for she had that morning found in the bed a small black spider with a whitish streak on its back. Mr. Morris is now progressing favorably, but the venom o£ the bite has giveu him great pain. When the Government steamer Hinemoa , went up the Eist Coast last week the Captain called at White Island, and a. number of people on board landed and walked across the bod of tho lake — the 1 water having disappeared. They spent some time eximinin^ different parts o£ the island, and found the principal scone of activity in the north-west portion, where steam holes fire to be seen fuming at a great rate. The aspect of the island is' changed to a considerable extent, and," according to the reports, it is hardly the place were one would care to sojurn for long.

Wo are requested to stated that Mr. J. Asher will conduct the evening service at Primitive Methodist Church to-morrow, instead of Mr. R. Sadler, whose name appears in our list of services.
