The mill will be under competent management, nnd gristing will be carefully performed. Dbunkbnnebs. — Three men occupied free quarters at the police camp last evening, the trio having been nrrested for drunkenness. Among theso " druuks" is an individual who rejoices m the name of the " Honorable John Burke O'Brien." Land For Sale.— The N.M. and A. Company desire to call attention to some valuable freehold properties they have for sale. One is situated at Raincliff, and the other within four miles of Timaru. They ara said to present splendid opportunities to those m search of first-class land. Something LIKR A Galb.— The following seemingly " tnll" yarn (says the Dunedin Star) is vouched for by the Telegraph Department : — " When the lineman on Wednesday last reached Kekerangci, between Blenheim an'l Kaikoura, ho found that where the interruption had taken place, the gale had blown with such tremendous foreo that a rabbit had been blown on to the telegraph wires, and there it had ttuek fast till it starved to death !" Temperance Lectures. —Mr Burnett's lecture at Waimato on the 10th inst. was well attended, the Hall being inconveniently filled. Tlio lecturer was heartily applauded. A numerous choir, led by Mr Neilson and accompanied on the organ by Miss Gray, contributed largely to tlio great success of the proceedings. The Rev. J. H. Gray presided. Fifty persons signed the pledge at the close of tho mooting. INTEHCOLOKIAI, WEATHER ExCHAHGB. — —New Zealand : Fine weather, with light S. and S.B. winds, high pressure, especially to tho S.W., smooth sea. Australia ; Overcast, with light rain, and calm on tho East coast, and NW. winds on tho south and west j easterly m Tasmania. Barometers — In New Zealand, at Bussell, 30.3; Wellington, 30.4; Bluff, 30.5. In Australia, 30.3 ; Hobart, 80.1 ; Albany, 29.9. Harbor Boahd. — At the ordinary monthly meeting of this Board held yesterday, it waa decided for tho future to meet on the third Wednesday m each month. This alteration should prove convenient to members, as on the old meeting day (second Thursday) important sales woro generally hold, and two or throo members being directly interested m them, it was almost impossiblo for them to attend tlio Board meetings regularly. Novelties. — Since opening out their new season's goods, Messrs Drummond and Glaoaon's establishment has presented a vory bustling appoaranco, being liberally patronised by customers eager to sco their splendid show of Novelties m Drapery for tho coming time of year. Those ladies "who have been fortunate m calling bo early lmvo been well repaid by the exhibition of sonic beautiful stuffs, especially m Artistic Dross Fabrics, Ribbons, Laces, Gloves, Fancy Goods nnd Showroom Specialities j and tho low prices at which everything is marked has induced tn eoino linoe a rapid cloaranco.— [Advt.]

Disthict Conn', Waimate. — The next monthly sitting of this Court will bo held on Monday next at 2. .10 p.m. The only business set down for hearing is the public examination of Stephen 'Wheeler, a bankrupt. Timahu Hakboh.— A prominent failure m the annual report of the Marine Department is an excellent chart of the hnrbor, showing the works completed and those m progress. On the buck of the chart is a capital description of the port anil full sailing directions compiled by Captain Webster, the Harbor Master. The map is drawn by Mr Goodall, Engineer to the Board. BoHOtrait Election. — At the annual election of councillors for the. South-West Ward of the Borough of Timaru, held on Thursday, Mr John Delanev polled 26 votes, Mr Thomas Smith 23, and Mr James Bruce 10. The Returning Olliier (Mr Edwin Hv Lough) declared Messrs Dclaney and Smith duly elecled councillors for the ward named. The first-named gentleman — an old councillor—lias therefore been re-elected. The lastnamed is, we believe, about to become practically acquainted, for the first time — m Timaru at all events — with municipal honors. He will, we presume, fill the chair at the Council table vacated by Mr Massey, whose decease was lately mourned. Dredging. — At tho Harbor Board meeting yesterday, the question of dredging was once more grappled with. All the members of tho Board are agreed that dredging is one of the most important questions now before them, and that it is absolutely necessary nowlarge steamers call hero that berthing accommodation nt the wharf should bo available for them, so that they shall receive quick despatch. After careful and full discussion, it was agreed to wrile to the Lyttelton Harbor Board, who have virtually olfered the Timaru Board the use of their' dredge and barges at the end of three months, and ascertain particulars as to rent, etc. It is estimated that this bucket dredge, if procured, will dredge our harbor effectually m throe months, and that large steamer.* will bo able to use the wharf almoet at any time. Bewabe or Blaßtebs. — People residing on or walking about LeCren's Terrace should be very careful just now lost they get their brains knocked out. Yesterday afternoon blasting operations were started on the beach on the site for the proposed swimming baths, with the result that considerable damage was done to the rocks, and very nearly so to a private residence, that of Mr Donald Maclean. A large piece of scoria blown up to a great height came down through the roof of Mr Maclean's house, making n hole about a foot m diameter, whilst other pieces^ were also seat'ered m the cutting below. If this sort of thing continues the Bathing Company had better find some other place on which toerect their premises. It is no laughing matter to have a 101 b spall crashing through the roof of one's house, let alone through that of one's head. Paeliambntaby Union. — Tho weekly meeting of the Timaru Parliamentary Union was held m the Institute Hall last evening. About seventeen members were present. The Speaker (Mr Bruce) took the Chair at 8 o'clock. Replying to Mr Smith if the Government would legislate this session m tho direction of preventing boys smoking m the streets tho Minister for Lands said the Government were not at present prepared to do so- The Premier moved the second reading of the Gaming and Lotteries Act Amendment Bill which he said provided for the abolition of that form of gambling known as consultations. Tho second reading was agreed to on the voices after considerable discussion. Mr Dawson proposed that Mr Harvey be Chairman of Committee. Carried on the voices. The House then went into Committee on tho Land Bill. After a long and exciting discussion the Premier moved that progress be reported, which was agreed to. On the Speaker resuming tho chair, Mr Wake gave notice that at next meeting of the House he would introduce a Bill to abolish plurality of -voting. The Colonial Treasurer gaTe notice of motion that tho Cabinet take the voto of the electors as to whether it is desirable to abolish the Legislative Council. The Premier intimated that the question was not a Ministerial one. The Premier at 10.45 moved the adjournment of the House, which was agreed to. Coeosebs' Ikquests. — We have received a letter from "J.E.R.," dated, "The Pigeon House, Tengawai, Sept. 4th," m which he protests against the waste of public money, as ho considers it, involved m tho present method of holding inquests. Unfortunately, m the present crowded state of our columns we have not space to give the whole of his letter, but we append the practical suggestions with which it concludes. Our correspondent writes : — " (1) When it becomes known that a body is dead without a certificate being forthcoming let it be guarded by the police as heretofore, (2) Let the local constable, summon a number of persons to sit as jurors, making his selection as carefully as the time will permit, instead of as hitherto, collaring anybody he meets. (3) Let such jurori view the body, hear evidence, and ascertain whether five guineas worth of medical testimony is required or not, retaining a doctor if necessary, and giving them all the 'goby 'if otherwise. (4) Let the constablo take his seat at tho head of the table and carefully note all questions and answers, with tho verdict of the jury and any other important matter, to bo promptly forwarded to the Inspector of Police at the "nearest, central station. You have now my objections to a bad svßtem and the proposed amendment, and, being a victim of bad times, I shall be proud if my suggestions lead an inch or two m the direction of reform." Tempekanck Mission.— Friends of temperance are reminded that they aro invited to attend a- special meeting at the Wcsleyau schoolroom, Bank street, this evening for the purpose of meeting and conversing with Mr Burnett, the eminent temperance lecturer. Greetings ovor, Mr Burnett will address the meeting on " United vigorous action indispensable to arrest the march of the Great Destroyer." To-morrow nftevnoon Mr Burnett will address tho united Sunday schools m the Presbyterian Church, Barnard street, and on Monday evening he will deliver a discourse on " Battles fought and victories won " at tho church, commencing at 7.30 o'clock. On Monday evening His Worship tho Mayor (Mr Jno. Jackson) will preside. Mr Burnett has made his mark at all tho towns ho has visited m this colony. He has just concluded a mission at Waimato, concerning which Our Own Correspondent telegraphed last ovening as follows: — "Mr 11. Burnett's temperance mission work hero has been very successful. Tho meetings on the 9th and 10th quito filled tho Tempcranco j Hall, and sixty-four persons signed the pledge. Tho ladies meeting and children's meeting on the afternoon of the 11th were also very successful. All friends anxious for tho advancement of the great total abstinence cause m Timaru should work for and expect great success from Mr Burnett's intended efforts there." Rbsidbnt Magistrate's Cotjet, Timaeu — At this Court yesterday, before F. LcCren and John Jackson, Esqs., J.tVe, Henry Davis was, on remand, charged with on September 3rd unlawfully imposing on Jano Darby by false representation, and obtaining tho sum of one pound m money j also with obtaining from John Dore by false representations on tho 6th the sum of £2 17s 6d ; on the 6th 10s, and on the 7th £1 6s. Inspector Brohara conducted the prosecution, and called Jano Darby, who said tho accused stopped at the Club "Hotel on the 3rd and 4th inst. On Thursday tho 3rd ho gavo witness tho cheque produced m payment of money lent and for board. Tho cheque was presented at tho Bank, and a reply was received that there was no such account. In answer to tho accused witness said that ho (accused) did not tell her not to present tho cheque till 12 o'clock bocaiiso the account would bo changed from tho Bank of New Zealand to tho Colonial Bank. Andrew G. Macarn, accountant nt tho Colonial Bank, said that the accused never had an account Bt tho Bank.

In answor to the Bench, accused »:iid he had no funds m tho Bank when ho issued tho cheque. Accused wan then charged with making false representations to John 1 Doro. These charges wero all taken together. Accused pleaded not guilty. John Pore, licensee of tho Railway Hotel, Albury, (aid ho recollected accused going to tlie hotel and \ getting firo drinks, tendering m payment a

cheque for £9. Tho balance, £2 17s Od, was given to accused. Accused, told witness he had a station up country and also added he had srot money out from Home. Accused staved with witness from tho oth to the Bth inst. Tho accused was sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labor. The Court then rose. Resident Magistrate's Cockt, WaiMATR.— At this Court yesterday, before J. S. Beswii-k, Esq., K.M.," and J. Manchester, Esq., J.P., John Wall, of Kcdi-liff, appeared to answer a summons for illegally rescuing ton head of horses on the 2nd instant. Mr Clement appeared for tho defendant. James Kobertson and Thomas RoborU showed that on the day m question nineteen horses which were then trespassing on James Hobertson's land at Bedclilr were seized, and witnesses were m the act of driving the horses to the pouud when defendant eamo riding up and prevented them driving ten of them to tho pound. Tho land belonged to James Robertson, who told defendant he would impound the horses. Defendant had been previously warned to keep his horses from trespassing or they would be impounded. Defendant's evideneo showed that he had been driving his horses that day on land not belonging to James Robertson, when the action of the latter and Thomas Roberts caused the horses to scatter and get away from defendant. The Bench considered the charge fully proved, and inflicted a fine of £2, with Court and witnesses' costs £2 19s. Two boys named George Calvert, about 12 years old," and Melbourne Sanett, about 14 years, wero summoned under section 6 of the Police Offences Act, for setting fire to gross, etc., on the sth inst., From the evidence, it appeared tlio two boys were by tho road above Hayes' mill on the day m question. Fire and smoke were seeu to come from -where the boys were. The day being vory stormy, nil endeavors to put out the firo were futile. The tiro spread into Hayes' IBush, and a large space was burned before the fire was checked. Sergeant Morice said that if a change of wind had not taken place m time Mr Hayes' mills, some dwelling-houses and tiuiber could not have been saved. The boy Banett had been before the Court on a previous occasion for a similar offence. The Bench ordered that each of the boys be whipped m the presence of a constable. Civil cases were dcult with 83 follows: — Jenkins v. Wellwood — claim £22. Mr Clement for plaintiff ; Sir Hanieraley for defendant. This was a re-hear-uig of a case, judgment having been given by default at a previous sitting of the Court, and leave for re-hearing granted on the 2Sth ultimo. The claim was for balance due on a promissory note of £ 12, £20 of which had been paid to plaintiff. Mr Hamersley argued for a nonsuit, on the grounds that when the parties had arranged for a settlement and part of the amount paid, the non-payment of the promissory note could not be brought m as a cause of action. A long argument took place on this question, and other questions of law arising out of the hearing of the ease. The Bench reserved their decision to next sitting of the Court. A Ybae's Wobk at the Mint. — During the year ended December 31st last the total amount of gold, silver and bronze melted at the British Royal Mint was 470 tons. Of this, 67 tons consisted of gold, 198 tons of silver, and 205 tons of bronze, out of which metals the number of coins struck was 65,295,382, as against 49,5N8,302 struck m 1833, when the total weight of all metals melted was 25 tons less than that of the past year. The best if not the only remedy for consumption. Doctors disagree as to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites of Xirne and Soda m consumption and wasting diseases. The Hypophosphites give nerve power and act as a tonic, while Cod Liver Oil heals the inflammation, gives strength and flesh. Being both contained m Scott's Emulsion of Poro Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites the effect produced by the use of this remedy is wonderful. Thousands who have been cured by it can testify to this fact. 10 A Xotelt Chapiet. — A lato fashion report says : " Nothing can be prettier than a chaplet of hop vines m blossom." A recent medical review says: "Nothing can be a better renovator of the health than American Hop Bitters. They aid m all the operations of nature ; toning up the stomach, assisting the food to become properly assimilated, and promote healthy action m all the organs. Tie dictates of fashion, as well as the laws of health, alike favor a right application of hops." — [Bead.] MoTHBBa Dost Know. — How many children are punished for beiDg uncouth, wilful and indifferent to instructions or reward simply because they are out of health. An intelligent lady said of a child of this kind : " Mother don't know that she should give the little one moderate doses of American Co.'s Hop Bitters for two or three weeks, and the child would be all a parent could desire." — [Advt.] Amkeicak Co' 3 Hop Bittebs are tho Purest and Best Bitters ever made. They are compounded from Hops, Molt, Buchu, Mandrake, and Dandelion, — the oldest, best, and most valuable medicines m the world and contain all the best and most curative properties of all other remedies, being the greatest Blood Purifier, Liver Regulator, and life and Health restorer on earth. No disease or ill health can possibly long exist where they are used, so varied and perfect are their operations. They give new life and vigor to the aged, and infirm.

Genuine has Dr Soule's name blown m bottle.— [Advt.] This great value of Scott's Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with Hvpophosphites m Consumption, General Debility and all wasting disea-es, is acknowledged by the Medical profession throughout tho various countries of the world, as well as by hundreds of thousands wbo have been benefited by its use.
