Dr Scbwarzbach, who has lately returned from Europe, after re-studying and becoming acquainted with all the modern progress in his special science, announces that he will visit Masterton on the 10th inst, when he will be pleased to receive patients.

The cricketers’ soiree came off on Wednesday night at Grey town, and those present seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly. Mr M, Yarnham and several others of the club exerted themselves most strenously to make the occasion a success, and it seemed a pity that their attempts were not rewarded, more especially by the general support of the cricketers in the district. The string band, composed of Messrs Lundqvist, Barnard, Lewis, and Varnham, performed some excellent dance music. The ladies for once were slightly in the majority, and the whole affair was to a certain extent spoiled by the sparse attendance, probably the weather in the afternoon was the cause. Mr Varnham and his coadjators being very popular fn their entertainment of the Greytown public, the cause is otherwise inexplicable. Mr and Mrs Beynolds were as usual very accommodating in their superintendence of the refreshment department and gave the utmost satisfaction. The representatives of the Wellington Working Mens’ Clnb, who came in the late train attended, and assisted to make things lively till an early hour in the morning. We remind the members of the cricketing team appointed to play against Masterton, that the match commences at eleven to-mor-row.

A telegram from Woodville says a stabbing case occurred at the Awapura bridge works on Saturday morning last, when a blacksmith named Redmond ran a knife into the shoulder of a workman named Barlow. The wound, so far, is not dangerous. Eliza Eichardson, widow, aged 45, was found dead out on the open land, Gisborne, the other morning. She had two carbolic acid bottles near her, one empty. She was missed the night previous, and search parties were sent out. She had been living with her brother, Josiah Lutchen, and has been strange in her manner lately. The cricket match between an eleven of the Greytown Working Men's Club and an eleven of the Wellington Working Men’s Club, took place at Greytown on New Year’s Day. This is an annual affair and it is much to be regretted that the weather turned out so bad on the morning of the first of the new year. Some of the visitors arrived over night and were met by the members of the sister club. As in the after part of the day the weather cleared to a certain extent, the match was played, each side getting only one innings, Greytown making 38 runs and Wellington only succeeding in putting together 26. The ground was exceedingly wet and to play was a great difficulty. After the match the two teams adjourned to the club, where refreshments were provided, and altogether the members of the club and their visitors made the beat of the misfortune and expressed hopes for better luck next year The visitors left in the evening after a cordial farewell of their brethren of Greytown.

The year 1884 died very hard. All the pent-up ill-humor of the elements appeared io be concentrated in the last struggles of the ■>ow defunct year of grace. In the morning A-e were treated to a gleam of sunshine, which was rather of a treacherous aspect, and toward the middle of the day it became evident that an outbreak of some violent nature was imminent. On the road at Car terton, about two o’clock, a storm was experienced that has not been outri vailed during the whole of the late year. The hailstones which rattled down were as large as good sized peas, and the volume of the downpour was so dense that the vision at about half a chain distance was totally obscured. In addition to all this there were some heavy thunder peals. The elements were in a very angry mood and about half past II at night a shock of earthquake startled the residents of the Wairarapa. The teachers of the Greytown Wesleyan Sunday School intended to have held a picnic yesterday, but were compelled to use the Town Hall, where several games were indulged in, and the party made the best of the bad weather. The Greytown reading room is open to the public free and many avail themselves of the literature which is spread upon the table. But occasionally some very mean persons visit this room. Of late certain pages in the Graphic newspaper have been cut out containing a tale entitled “ From Post to Finish.” An individual was suspected and the journal carefully watched. The other day the Graphic was on the table complete, when this literary thief dropped in. Of course, when he was gone it was clear that part of tbe Graphic was in his pocket, for the tale was abstracted. It will perhaps do him good when he reads this to know that his petty pilfering has been detected and himself known to the habitues of the reading room.
