In consequence of pressure upon our columns wo have been compelled to hold over correspondence, advertisements, and other matter. A specia l coach will leave Mr Miller's office to-morrow morning at 9.30 sharp, to convey buyers to the Korikipo stock sale. Luncheon will be provided The Artillery Volunteers will parade tonight at the Protestant Hall in uniform with forage caps, for company drill and a march out at 7. 30 o'clock. _ As the committee of the Holiday Association declined at its meeting last night to grant the application for a half-holiday on the 30th instant, we presume the boat-racing will take place on the day previously arranged for, namely, the 17th December. The repetition of " East Lynne" by the Pomeroy Company at the Theatre Royal last night drew a fair house. Tho drama was agaiD admirably acted, and elicited numerous marks of approval from the audience. Owing to the continued illness of Mr Hoskius " The Hunchback" will be performed to-night instead of " Led Astray." No more enjoyable play has been put upon the stage by the Pomeroy Company, and the Julia of Miss Pomeroy is one of her most successful personations. At the Resident Magistrates' Court this morning His Worship gave judgment in the case of Cassin v. Humphries ; the claim was for £15 ; defendant had paid £9 lis into Court, and judgment was given for the amount paid in, each party to pay their own costs. Martin Warner was charged with drunkenness, and fined 5s and costs or 48 hours. Arthur Musgrave, charged with being illegally on tbe premises of the proprietor of the Masonic Hotel, was sentenced to 48 hours' imprisonment with hard labor. A " Parent" wishes to know why it is that no clergyman has as yet taken advantage of the permission granted by the School Committee in respect to Bible classes. On enquiry we learn that no steps have been taken to give Bible lessons after school hours. According to the Bible in Schools Committee's report a very large proportion of parents are desirous of having their children taught the Gospels, so there is no opposition from that quarter. As the Synod is sitting perhaps some member will bring the subject up for discussion. We have received a letter signed "An Elector " containing a rather severe criticism on Mr R. Stuart's abilities as a politician. Until Mr Stuart actually announces himself a candidate for political honors the communication of " An Elector " may very well be held over. "An Elector " says, however, " we do not want any more candidates." We hold a different opinion, and that is that up to the present time there is not a candidate in tbe field of whom it maybe said that he is a fit and proper person to represent Napier in the General Assembly. At a meeting of the Napier School Committee held last evening, it was resolved to agree to a petition of a number of householders in Onepoto and the neighborhood, requesting tbat they should be included in the Port Ahuriri school district. It was resolved that the holiday to fee given in honor of the Governor's visit to the Napier school should be given on St. Andrew's Day. A letter from the head master was read, stating that progress was beina: made in the arrangements for an entertainment to be held on the 7th of December, in aid of the school prize fund. The Synod of the Diocese of Waiapu was opened in St. John's ©hureh yesterday morning. At 11 a.m. the Bishop of Waiapu administered the Holy Communion. The Synod re-assembled at 4 p.m., when the ordinary business commenced. The President delivered a long and interesting address having reference to church work in the district. Dr. Spencer moved a vote of thanks to the President for his address. The motion was seconded by the Rev. S. M. Spencer, and carried unanimously. The Rev. E. Robertshaw was appointed clerical secretary, Mr J. B. Fielder lay secretary, and Mr T. Tanner chairman of committees. After several notices of motion were given, the Synod adjourned till 4 p.m. to-day. The Wanoranui Herald has the following: —" Mr G. E. Barton, formerly a lawyer in practice at Wellington, who will be remembered for bearding tbe Supreme Court Judges and being imprisoned for contempt of Court, has returned to tbe colony after a lengthened stay in.the United States. Mr Elliot Barton, his son (by whose exertions his father was, whilst in Wellington gaol, returned M.H.R. for the.City) is a lawyer in practice at Patea, and has left for Auckland to meet his returning parent." The Wellington Post says :—" Kereopa, whose arrest is recorded, must not be confounded with the murderer of that name, who was satisfactorily hanged some years ago. The present Kereopa is a very troublesome Waitotara chief, who has long been a leading-spirit among the more turbulent members of his tribe, and has caused much annoyance and difficulty to the authorities. His arrest practically completes the list of ringleaders in the West Coast difficulty. With Te Whiti, Tohu, Titokowaru, Kangi, and Kereopa under restraint, there is not likely to be much more difficulty with the West Coast natives." A universal panacea is almost sure to be a universal imposition, that charlatanism, blatant as is its trumpet, cannot blow into acceptability or repute. Those specifics that assume to cure everything cure nothing, and hence it is that "Udolpiio Wolfe's Schiedam Akojiatic Schnapps is only a powerful safeguard against gout, gravel, flatulency dyspepsia, whether chronic or acute, nervous debility, urinary and renal obstructions, torpid liver, stagnant condition of the blood, mal-assimilation of food, vital exhaustion, and similar affections.— [A DVT.]
