There was a clean sheet at the Resident Magistrate's Court this morning. Titokowaru is amongst the arrested prisoners. It was for this man, dead or alive, few years ago, the Government offered a reward of £1000. A Press Association telegram from Christchurch informs us that Mr A McHardy has bought at auction a shorthorn bull, Master Riby, son of Riby Knight for the sum of 260 guineas.

Mr Comford applied in bankruptcy on behalf of John ' Nicholson, of Kaikora, for an order of discharge. The report of the trustees ' being perfectly satisfactory the order was ; granted. ? Messrs Large and Townley have just turned out a billiard table from their workshops that is highly creditable to the skill employed in that establishment. The slates and cushions were of course imported; the ' former are exceptionally heavy, while the ' latter are of the best quality. The table is quite equal to any manufactured in Melbourne, and is £50 cheaper, shipping charges, insurance, duty, &c, being Bayed by the purchase of the locally made article. The Napier Rifle Volunteers assembled > opposite the Athenaeum yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, and proceeded by the early train to Hastings. On arrival at Hastings the corps proceeded to a paddock belonging to Mr Chapman, and were there put through a number of evolutions by Drill Instructor Nelson.

Captain Blythe was in command of the corps, and Major Routledge was present during the whole of the proceedings. Miss Louise Pomeroy and company will open in Napier on Saturday evening next. It will be seen from advertisement that the first play produced will be Shakespeare's comedy "Twelfth Night, or What "Sou Will," with Miss Pomeroy as Viola, Mr Hollo way as Malvolio, and Mr Hoskins as the Clown. Referring to Miss Pomeroy'g delineation of the charming charaoter of , Viola, a Southern contemporary says :— " She ia a perfect mistress Of the dramatic art—commanding in presence, graceful in action, and most admirable in pourtrayal of the varying lights and shades of mirth, allied wit- sympathy and womanly feeling, which render this character at once most difficult to interpret and yet among the most attractive of all Shakespeare's creations." The representations during the week include a number of the most popular of modern plays, and Shakespeare's " Cymbeline" and " Winters Tale." Napier playgoers may consider themselvesfortunate in having an opportunity of witnessing a , number of grand plays which are rarely : presented even in tbe big centres of i population. The concert and dramatic performance for the benefit of Mrs Stubley took place at the Theatre Royal last night, and was a . decided success from a financial point of view. The first portion of the programme was devoted to musio, and brought out an admirable amount of amateur talent. Mrs \ Ingloton sang the ballad " Far Away " with great sweetness, and received a most ' , emphatic recall. Mrs Bice also sang with ' success. In the duet, " The moon has raised her lamp," Messrs Hill and Gilpin sang I with remarkable power and sweetness, and the former in addition gave " Let me like a soldier fall," and "The death of Nelson" ,in admirable voice and style. Mr Watkin received a hearty recall for his Welsh song. Messrs Hampton and Simpson also rendered good service. A domestic drama entitled " The Return of the Wanderer " formed the 1 seaond party of the programme, and as there 1 was an evident want of thorough preparation throughout the whole performance we prefer to omit a lengthy notice. Of course the object was a most praiseworthy one, and everyone is pleased to. find there are so ) many kindly disposed people in, the town who will take the labour and trouble of getting up a performance of this kind, but if the Gaiety Club wish to retain their hold on public favor the members must devote more care and attention to the study of their respective parts. The startling augmentation of cases of kidney diseases recently developed, ring out a tocsin of alarm to all who have even slightly sufferad with these insidious complaints. This Signal should be heeded, and precautions taken against their attack, by a speedy resort to purely diuretic and tonic remedies.
