Captain Edwin telegraphed at 1.40 p.m. to-day :—": — " Every indications for frost, or very cold night." M» D.

Regular monthly meeting of Ngamotu Lodge 2053, E.C., to-night, at 7.30. Visiting brethren cordially invited. — Advt. Dr. (Jhilton, formerly of Ilawcva and Manaia, died very suddenly at Blenheim on j Fiiday evening. Ileart disea3c is supposed to be the cause. We have received from Mr Corlcill, agent for Messrs Wheeler & Co., a copy of the Annual Digest, published in connection with the Mercantile ani Bankruptcy Gazette. This compilation i* again an improvement on its predecessors, as several new and useful features are introduced, making the work a most valuable handbook to every trader and business man. A meeting of the Wcsluyan Temperance J Society was held on Monday evening, when tho members were given an address by their new minister, the Rev. P. W. Fairclongh. This gentleman in his speech evinced a wide knowledge of the subject j of temperance, and added reasons personal, social, political, and religious, for the adoption of total abstinence, which were unanswerable. At the close of the meeting a desultory discussion took place on social questions connected with the address. j The following particulars respecting the paddle steamer " Terranora," which it ia reported that Rev. Father Cassidy has purchased to run between Waitara and Onchunga, will doubtless be of interest to j many of! our readers. The vessel is steel j built, 12 years old, 94 horse power, 350 i tons gross tonnage, 199 tons nett tonnage. ! Ilcr length is 141 feet, and her beam 27 j feet across hull. The Auckland Herald says :—": — " In a short time it is proposed to have a new steamer engaged on the West Coast- Manukau, running in opposition to tho Northern B.S. Co.'s vessels that have plied so long between Taranaki and Onehunga. The vessel engaged is the paddle steamer Terranora, which has been chartered by a co-operation of Waitara settlers and others, for the trade. The vessel is a Sydney-owned craft of 350 tons gross, and being of comparatively light draught, is expected to prove suitable to the Waitara River trade. She is expected to arrive here from Newcastle shortly." Another anecdote characteristic of the Victorian Governor's homely instincts is related in connection with his recent visit to Ballarat. When the special train stopped at the ancient township of Ballan, his Excellency stopped out of the carriage and was accosted by an elderly dame, who said, "Sir, could I see the Governor?" " Certainly," replied the Earl, •' I am the Governor." The old fashioned lady was rewarded with a hearty shake of tho hand, when ahe had recovered from her astonishment at his youthful appearance, she ventured to comment on the fact of his Excellency being clean-shaved. <( Well," said the Earl, '• I had whiskers once, but they were inclined to be nearly as red as a fox, and the Countess insisted on my shaving them off." The incident caused great amusement on the platform, and was the principle subject of conversation "on the block" at the little township for several days subsequently. M Hood has much pleasure in offering the ladies of New Plymouth some of the choicest autumn goods she has yet shown. They were all personally selected during her late visit south from tho first houses in the trade, anr' are tho newest goods direct from London. Being exceptionally well bought, she can price them very low and guarantee all the lines as wonderfully cheap and the value unsurpassed. The remainder of the stock is still being offered at tho clearing out prices previously advertised, and the sale will continue till everything is disposed of, when the premises will be positively closed. — Advt Renshaw's unfermentod and nonintoxicating ginger wine is admitted to be a powerful antidote for flatulency with pains in the stomach, cold chills, spasms, &c, &c. } A wineglassful will give relief almost immediately. It may t>e taken either neat or with hot or cold water to suit tho taste. Numbers testify to its valuo for these complaints. Every sufferer is invited to procure a bottle from their grocer and they will acknowledge the above to bo a fact. — Advt. llolloway's Ointment and Pills are beyond all doubt the most valuable and most convenient medicines that travellers can take across the seas to distant climes, for change of climate and the new conditions and surroundings of life to which they will bo exposed will assuredly give rise to great disturbances of tho system and to such especial morbid states of the blood and constitution generally as will render the use of these effectual remedies highly necessary, for they will j find in them a ready and safe means of relief in most of tho diseases which afflict the human race, and with them at hand thoy may be said to have a physician always at their call. Renshaw's Monarch of Pain is an amalgamation of valuable elements which coyer a multitude of symptoms of a very painful and distressing nature. It is admirably adapted to neuralgic affections extending from the slightest pang of nerve pain to the excruciating agony of tic doloreux, sciatica, toothache and lumbago.
