Joo Brady, tho first of tlio prisoners tried for tlio Phoenix Park murders, and sentenced to death, was hanged at Dublin this morning , , unless anything , occurred to postpone the execution.

Some time ago the state of tho street lamps was brought to the notice of tho Corporation, but notliing has been done to replace the panes of broken glass. During tho gale last night the light at the corner o| Milton road was blown out, and, probably, other gas lights wore extinguished whore tho lamp-glasses were broken. Major Scully desires us to correct an error that appeared in tho subscription lists issued by him to the subscribers to the Anderson (Norsowood) relief fund. In the list the Hawkc's Bay County Council is credited with having given a donation of £10 towards the fund, whereas it was the Waipaw a Council that performed this act of liberality.

The polling for the election of a member to represent the liiiingahua constitucnoy was taken to-day. The returns of course have not reached us, nor will they probably be known beforo to-morrow evening. As both the candidates, Mr Wakofiold and Mr Shaw, had enthusiastic meetings, and received cordial votes of confidence wherever they met the electors during their canvas, it is very difficult to predict tho result of the poll.

A meeting of the Waipawa Ploughing 4 Match Association committee was hold on Friday evening last, at the Empire Hotel, to discuss arrangements for the forthcoming match at Waipukurau. It was decided to offer first and second prizes, in addition to special prizes, for the bost groomed team and best kept harness on the ground.

The following gentlemen were appointed judges:—Messrs Russell, Wcllwood, Ord, Fleming, and Elliott. The meeting then adjourned to Friday evening next.

The organ of St. Paul's, Napier, which has lately been in partial use only, is in process of re-construction. Extensive additions are being made, and the whole rebuilt by and, u|idcr the personal supervision of the organist, Mr Hugh Aplin. Tho original organ — a '' general swell of eight stops—now forms the '' trrcat organ,'' and is revoiced as such, a new CC '' swell organ '' of eight speaking stops and 424 pipes, together with the usual accessories, being added. The full register of tho instrument consist of twenty-two stops of 838 pipes, divided between two manuals of full compass and pedal clavier. On completion the organ Avill be inaugurated with an organ recital and sacred concert, at which our leading musical talent will assist.

A bleak dark night, with an almost con?,Uu)t downpour of rain, ushered in the new dramatic reason at the Theatre Royal on Saturday, but, notwithstanding those drawbacks,' a fairly'good attondancp assembled, to witness Miss Juno's company cm iljo occasion of their first appearance jn Nar pier. The pieces selected for representation were " Mowers of the Forest " and " The Bonnie Fishwife," and in both of these Miss Juno showed herself to be an actress of more than ordinary power and ability. The opening drama was well mounted, and the scenic effects were everything 1 that could be desired. As our rule is to refrain from noticing at length first night performances, which are always beset with difficulties, more especially in the case of travelling troupes, we withhold any comments until we have seen the company a second time when we shall be better able to judge of their merits as exponents of the drama. Wo might, however, remark par parcnthhc that tho orchestra (a local one) requires reorganising. Toriright the company play " Jcanio Dean's," a romantic Scotch drama, which should prove a powerful " draw. '
