On dit that Mr Andrew Jackson; the popular ' Hippona ' of the Star, will in a few weeks lead a fair bride to the hmeneal altar.

The family residence of the lato Mr Nathan has been secured as summer quarters for His Excellency Lord Scott, Admiral of tho Pacific Fleet. Opposite to Government Houso, and overlooking the bay, the honse is unsurpassed for neatness and comfort we venture to say, by any that even Lord Soott has tenanied.

A very pleasant juvenile entertainment was given by Mrs T. Owen, at her residence, l Kenilworth,' JNorthoote, on Saturday, November 22v.d, when about thirty-six small people assembled to celebrate Miss Madge Owen's sixth birthday. After numerous games were indulged in, the youngsters did ample justice to a sumptuous tea, provided by the charming and liberal hostess. The day's amusements were ended by a brilliant display of fireworks, after which the girls and boys dispersed to their various homes.

Last Wednesday, at St. Matthew's Church, a marriage was solemnised between Miss Louisa Morrin, daughter of Mr J. C. Morrin, and Mr A. Littler, Messrs. Brace and Co.'s ftew Zealand representative. Both are members of the choir, the latter being also a vestryman of the church. There were four youthful bridesmaids, dressed in white, namely, Misses Clara and Lily Morrin, Ethel Tebbs and Mabel Douglas ; while the groomsmen were Mr T. F. Longlands and Professor Carrollo. The bride is sister-in-law to Mr W. J. Geddis, Bub-editor of the Star.

The Native Kose Football Club held their second annual ball in St. George's Hall last Friday evening, and it was a grand success, about 35 couples putting in an appearance. The committee, with Mr D. McKenzie at t>i pi r head, worked hard, and thoroughly deservad the eticoese which attended their efforts. The floor, music, and catering (by Mr Philips, of Newton) were of the best, and a most enjoyable time was spent. Miss Gearing, in a pretty blue and gold dress, representing the colours of the club, looked very nice, as did Miss N. Arnold in an evening dress of black.

The St. Benedict's weekly dancing class terminated their very pleasant meeting on Friday evening last, the occasion being celebrated by a very pleasant social among the members of the class. A goodly number of the youth and beauty of the city assembled to do honour to the occasion. Needless to say, the beauty was all on the one side, to wit, that of the ladies, most of whom looked simply delightful, arrayed in virsrin whiteness. The dancing ended at 12 30, when the ladies retired to their dressing room and discovered the fact, stern and solemn, that while they had been giving themselves np to the pleasures of the giddy -vhirl, some other person had taken the advantage of the moment, and burglariously absconded with three pairs of boots, a jacket and an umbrella. Maledictions were vainly hurled at the head of the unknown but enterprising burglar, who was characteristically desoribed as a low, mean, white livered-sneak thief, and so say T. I sinoerely hope that the offender may be caught and meet with his or her deserts, for it is undoubtedly a most contemptible sample of sneak thieving.

Mr Row, grocer, of Victoria-street, has laid in a atook of good things for Chriatmaa time, and inspeotion is invited.
