The Hawera Star understands that the New Zealand Shipping Company have made arrangements for the erection of wool dumping machinery at Waitara. The Committee of the Poultry, Pigeon, and Canary Association, are making a new departure in the arrangements for their forthcoming show, to be held in August next. Following in the lead of kindred societies in other centres of the colony, they have arranged to hold a Grand Art Union of pure bred birds in connection with the coming show. Prices of tickets have been fixed at the very moderate sum of a shilling (the usual price of admission), and as holders of tickets are entitled to admission to the show, as well aa gettingja chance in the Art Union, it is nn obvious advantage for all who intend visiting tlie show to purchase an Art Uunion ticket without delay,, as all books will be callecl in previous to the show, and those paying at the doors will not participate in the drawing for prizes Tickets may be obtained at Mr ' Gilmour's, Professor Furlong's, or from any member of the Committee. General Sir H. J. Warre, who was Colonel of the 57th Regiment whpn in Taranaki, still takes a great interest in the place. Writing to Mr T. Furlong, a short time since, the General aays :— " I am glad to iind by your mention of their - names that my old friends Archdeacon Govett, Colonel Stapp, Messrs Brown, Parris, Carrington, and Standish, are still living in Taranaki. I must fißk you to give my special regards to Parris, to who'n I was so deeply indebted during the war, not only for the excellent advice ho so often gave me but. for the accurate information he obtained rogarding the movements of the natives* It gives Lady Warre and mo much satisfaction to tind that by your own account you are satisfied with your life in New* Zealand, and that others of the old " Die Hards " aro equally successful. Time passes with such rapid strides. I think there are none in tho old regiment now who think of old times, old New Zealand, and Crimean days; but the officers, I am' glad to say, still keep 'Albuera ' day,' aud generally ask mo to join their mess dinnor on the 16th May, although I very seldom can avail myself of their invitation. Lady Warre and I often speak about you, and are much pleased to hear of your, success. Please remember kindly to my* old friends at Now Plymouth. — Ever your! sincere friend, H. J. Warre," ' The Italian organ grinder named Vicenso, Labfonicro, who was in New Plymouth with hia monkey a short time since, has got into trouble in Auckland. It appears^ he was playing in Wakefield-street, above: the Clarendon Hotel, when he had an; altercation with a man" named Charles' Thompson over the monkey he carries on tha^ organ, which ended in the Italian taking a stick and hitting Thompson on the head. The man had to be taken to the Hospital for treatment. So far as the! police could make out, through an interpreter, a fellow countryman of Labro-i nicro's, Thompson had been insulting or roughly handling the monkey, and otherwise giving the organ-grinder some provo-, cation. Instead of invoking the services of the police he is alleged to have taken the law into hia own hands. Of course, Thompson's version of tho affair has yet to be obtained. When Labronicro was searched at the police station a goodly pile of silver and copper was found on him, showing that the avocation of an organ grinder is not an unprofitable one. The monkey was rather depressed at being " run in" with the hurdy-gurdy, but as the Italian had no friends to look after it the police considerately allowed Jacko to share the cell with his master.
