Mr L. A. D. Fraser has been appointed to the district school at Frasertown, Wairoa. Mr H. Hill returned this morning from Poverty Bay, having inspected the public schools at the northern end of the district under the administration of the Hawke's Bay Education Board. Wo remind persons interested that tenders for the removal of the building known aa the Clarendon Hotel, and for the erection of now premises, must be sent in by Monday next to the architect, Mr T. R. Cooper. We have been requested to state that, owing to the Union Company's s.s. Albion arriving here on Wednesday next, the. Booj urn's departure for Wairoa has been po6t£o;n.e4 until Tuesday, the Ufa jngfant, <

Mr M. R. Miller has received the following , cable message from Messrs Goldsbrough and Co., Melbourne:— "Sold 4,500 bales greasy, from seven to fourteen, pence. There waa a full attendance and keen competition." It will be seen by our telegram from official sources that the Native Minister succeeded in easily capturing Te Whiti and Tohu. Hiroki, who murdered McLean, the cook of the survey party, last year, has also been taken prisoner. The Thames Advertiser says:—"The highest prize in Abbott's great sweep have fallen to the Thames this year—the sons of Mr J. B. Mason, Fred and Edgar, holding the winning horse, thus becoming entitled to some £1350 between them. If our information be correct we should not be surprised to learn that Messrs W. C. Smith, R. Harding, S. Johnston, H. Wilding, and some other candidates for seats in the Waipawa CoudcU are disqualified from standing for election. A Mr William Ratcliffe, of . Gisborne, " has the honor, by direction of Mr Allan ■ McDonald, to solicit" the votes and interest of those residents in Napier who are on the East Coast electoral roll. We rather think tha electors •will exercise their judgment more wisely than by voting for Mr McDonald. Our Kaikora correspondent informs us that it is intended to celebrate the opening of the new school-house in that district by a concert, the programme for which will shortly be published. From the abilities and talents of the ladies and gentlemen who have promised to assist, the concert is expected to be the best ever given at Kaikora. In reply to the letter signed " Borrowed Plumage " in oar issue of yesterday, we beg to state that, on reference to the manuscript, we find that the second, third, and fourth paragraphs in the communication entitled " The Maori on his Native Heath " were placed within inverted ' commas. The characters were indistinctly made, and were overlooked. Lady Wynyard, whose death wag announced in our Auckland telegrams the other day, was the widow of LieutenantGeneral Wynyard, who was Officer Administering the Government of New Zealand for a brief period a quarter of a century ago, and the first Superintendent of the province of Auckland, while Colonel of the 58th Regiment. The Lydia Howards Company, having to wait for the steamer going Norths have determined to give a performance at Olive on Monday evening next. The pieces selected for performance will probably be " Robinson Crusoe " and " The Waterman." " Robinson Crusoe" is one of the most sparkling of burlesques, and one in which this company are seen at their best. The returns of the nominations for the Hawke's Bay County Council have not all been received, but we learn that the following gentlemen have been re-elected without opposition;—Mr F. Button, M.H.R., for Clive, Mr T. Tanner for Havelock, Mr J. N. Williams for Heretaunga, . and Mr Rymer for Meanee. It is presumed that all the old Councillors have been returned unopposed. The result of the Melbourne Cup was known in Auckland at twenty minutes to seven o'clock in the evening of the day of the race. In Napier it was not known till half-past seven, almost an hour's difference in the time of the arrival of the message. Perhaps the Press Association will cause an enquiry into the fact that " own correspondents " appear to be smarter than Renter's representatives. The Napier amateurs, with the charity that has always characterised their actions, intend giving a performance on Wednesday next "at the Theatre Royal in aid of the widow and children of the late Mr Stubley. The entertainment will commence, with a concert, to be followed by a domestic drama entitled " Jessy Vere; or, the Return of the Wanderer," by the members of the Gaiety @lub. Mies Potneroy and her company will open at the Theatre Royal, Napier, on Saturday next. The advance agent and scenic artist will arrive here by the first steamer from the South. This company have been having a most successful season in Wellington, and their representations of some of the plays of Shakespeare which are rarely put upon the Btage are spoken of as most enjoyable. !. Although the days of duelling are snpposed to be gone for ever as far as Englishmen are concerned, we still occasionally hear of a challenge being sent by some irate individual to ah offending party. We hear from a township not many miles from Napier, that an aggrieved gentlemen called upon his former friend and offered him the alternative of a horsewhipping or a duel. We have not heard how the matter was settled. : At the Resident Magistrates Court this morning, before CaptainPreece, R.M.,Elizabeth. Eddie was charged with being!drunk at Hastings; a large number of previous convictions being recorded against her, she was fined 10s and costs , , or 48 hours. John George Graig was charged with deserting from the barque Wave Queen, arid sentenced to two months imprisonment with hard labor, and to pay all costs and expenses of his conviction. Some of the returns disclosed by the Edusation Report for 1880 in England are rather startling. Each scholar under the Hull School Board costs the ratepayers 6s 2Jd; and each scholar under the London School Board costs the ratepayers £1 13s 7d. Thus Hull educates something less than ten children, and Sheffield something more than five, for the sum for which London just manages to educate one child. In addition to the above, in Hull each scholar costs the parents 9a B£d, and in London 8s 4d. The officers for the ensuing year of the "Water Lily" Juvenile Temple, No. 24, were installed last night in their lodge-room, Olive Square, by the Superintendent, assisted by Bros. Holland and Robinson of the " Bond of Unity." There was a large gathering of the members of the several lodges present at this interesting ceremony, showing the lively interest taken in the juvenile branch of the order. A short address by the Superintendent, and several songs by the members of the Temple, brought a most pleasant evening to a close.. To the Editor: Sir,— For years the residents of Napier clamored for separate representation, but now that they have got it they can find no better representative than a big runholder whose interests lie forty miles away from the town. They objected to Captain Russell and to Mr Sutton because those gentlemen represented country and not town interests, and so they fly to one who has absolutely nothing in connection with Napier,, and one wbo is personally an almost perfect stranger except to a little ring of obscure individuals who call themselves, forsooth, the Liberal Association ! —I am, &c, K.A. The enquiry through our columns as to what had become of the trout exhibited at the agricultural chow created considerable amusement at the Acclimatisation Society's meeting yesterday. There were numerous jocular enquiries addressed to the secretary anent the errant fish and the manner of cooking them before the meeting commenced, and in the middle of the proceedings Mr J. A. Smith gravely stated his anxiety to know how those trout lasted. The secretary replied that those trout had not yet undergone any culinary operation, but were, he supposed, freely disporting themselves in the society's ponds at Hastings. At a meeting of the committoe of the Agricultural and Pastoral Society, held yesterday, Messrs Coleman and Winter were appointed to confer with a sub-com-mittee of the Permanent Building Society in reference to a proposal to build suitable offices for the two societies.. A communication was read from the Friendly Societies Fete Committee accepting the terms upon which the ground at Hastings had been offered fcr ihe fete on the 9th of November., The following resolutions were then riassed : Wjpbat the winner <jf thg tw "guinea.

championship cups be allowed to aeleofc plate to that value. That a select committee, consisting of Messrs J.N. Williams, W. Shrimpton, W. J. Birch, O. B. Winter, and J. H. Coleman, be appointed to draw up bye-laws, rules, and regulations, and submit the same to the committee of management as soon as practicable. That y Mr Heslop's entry in the draught mare J class the prize be forfeited. The Committee then adjourned. The Manawatu Times has been shown a piece of quartz, which is literally studded with gold of a pale color, which ijfas recently been found in the Tuhua district, at the head of the Wanganui river, by Mr George, a gentleman who has by stealth succeeded in evading the Maoris, and having made the discovery, is a man of long practical experience, and can in every respect be relied upon. For years he has been hunting in the Tararua Ranges for a goldfield, and he together with Mr Brandon, made the discovery of a gold-bearing reef neat Featherston. For some time past he has been searching the coune of the Wanganai river, and with the result above stated. He is perfectly sanguine of a good field being opened up there, and to effect the hastening* of such, iufluential gentlemen, including ■ Colonel M'Donnell, are now making arrangements with the natives to allow prospectors to go cm the ground, and there is little doubt that this end will in a short time be achieved, when we may hope to hear some favorable accounts. Mr Joyce, a candidate for the Awerna (Southland) district recently expressed hie views on Protection v. Free Trade in this manner:—" He was a Protectionist out and out. If there was one thing more than another that would give a country, a start, it was protection. He looked'around him, and saw the children as they poured out of the public schools, and wondered to himself what they were to do in after years. They could not get a living in the towns, neither would they all go to the country. They mast' have industries for them, and to have these they must, in the first instance, be so far self-saorifioing as to be willing to pay a heavy duty to prevent the importation of 1 goods which were made by people who worked long hours for small pay* They should make in the colony everything that could reasonably be made here, and by doing that, in less than ten years they would have a country' that they would scarcely dream of now. The Hall Government had gone in for partial Protection, and therefore did not want to make it a strong card at the elections." Mr W. Routledge will selj on Monday next, at the Criterion Hotel, several blocks of land at Clyde, Wairoa, at noon; also, sheep depasturing on two of the properties. The Licensing Courts for the districts of Ngaruroro, Napier, land Petane, will be held on the 6th December. 7 A concert and dramatic entertainment by the Guiety Club will be given at the Theatre Royal on Wednesday evening next, in aid of the widow and orphans; of the late B. Stubley. Mr Sydney Johnston invites the electors of Waipawa to meet him'at the Oddfellows* Hall, Waipawa, on Monday evening. Mr T. R. Cooper invites tenders for the brickwork required at the new Clarendon Hotel. Mr W. A. Dugleby invites tenders for additions to a house in Coote-road. ||Mesers Blythe and Co. have a shilling table to-nighfc. A number of new advertisements will bd found in our " Wanted " Column.
