Monday next being - Eastor Monday, tho Daily TELEGiurir will not be published* Our Supplement to-day contains a sermon by the Rev. De Bordt Hovell, Ladies' Gossip, the visual instalment of our tale, and a number of interesting extracts. Hippo's notes arrived too late for this issue, but will appear in our next. Tho total eclipse of the moon on Thursday evening , was largely witnessed, tho night being very favorable for tho purpose. To morrow (Sunday), the service in St. John's Church will bo choral. In the evening the Hallelujah Chorus -will be sung as an anthem. On Snnday morning tho subject of Mr Paterson's sermon will bo "Salve for Soro Hearts," and in tho evening the subject of lecture "Furious Driving." During the absence of the secretary on sick leave, Dr Menzies will receive and acknowledge all subscriptions forwarded for the funds of tho Hospital. From Sydney we learn it is probable that tho Stuart Ministry will abandon their Land Bill. For twenty years tho question has been a burning one in Sydney without any result. Wo have received some splendid lato peaches from Mr Goddard, who asserts that tho trouble with peach' itrees is not so much duo to tho blight ab to the frost injuring the early varieties. Tho Good Templars hold a pic-nic on Monday atFarndon, to which all and sundry na?e cordially invited. The train leaves at 11.20 a.m. To those on pleasuro bent the pic-nic will have its attractions. Letters of naturalisation have been granted to tho following settlers:—Per Mngnussen, Andrew Johansen, both of Norse wood, to Carl Johansen and Adolf C. Bcrkhain, of Makaretu, and Friedorich Beck, of Napier. At tho inquest held on Thursday afternoon on the body, of Thomas Milgate at Clivo, who met his death as narrated in our columns previously, tho jury returned a verdict of death from apo2)lexy, accelerated by a fall from a horso. We are glad to see that tenders aro invited (labor only) for tho erection of a hotel at Wallingford. The joUrnoy to Porangahau for tho want of a hotel at Wallingford is exceeding trying, and in winter time it is almost impossible for ladies. We wish Mr Ryan every success. We have received tho first number of tho Democrat, a Sydney weekly, which claims to be "an indopendent representative of labor and the people." The paper is edited by Mr E. W. O , Sullivan, a well-known pressman of Melbourne, and now of Sydney, and the extremes of democracy. The Loyal Meanee Lodge anniversary ball comes off next Monday, and will no doubt attract all the Oddfellows in the district, and as many from town as can attend it. Nothing has been omitted to make the ball a success. Mr Nowbould's band has been secured for tho supply of tho music. At present hops aro a complete glut in all colonial markets, uud. shipment to England has become a necessity. Mr Taniior purposes forwarding two bales to London by the Tongariro, sailing this month, not so much with a view of testing the English market, as to get a report on tho Hawke's Bay growth. On Tuesday next Messrs 0. B. Hoadley and Co. will sell at their wool stores, Napier, fifty building allotments at Hastings. These sections areUut'a short die; tance from tho railway station, and offe'p great attraction as building sites. A of the estate an subdivided for sale is issued as a supplement with this issuo. The " Story of the Cross " last ovoning in St. John's Church before a crowded congregation was considerably marred by tJiG playing , of the organist, who persisted in trying to improve on such composers as Beethoven, Mozart, ! &c. We certainly think the " murdrring" of such composers should bo left to out of the way villages. Wo have been requested to draw the attention of members of tho Church of England in , this dioceso lo the fact that tiro offertories made in the several churches tomorrow (Easter Day) will bo handed over to the pastor of the parish or district as an Eastor gift. It is hoped that the several ' congregations will shew their appreciation of the services of their clergyman by making the respective donations something substantial; ~.■(■

The Petane Cemetery trustees have a cemetery reserve in hand unsurveyed and unfenced, and find themselves without any funda. Unless somo of the settlers die there can be no revenue, but as this is not altogether a desirable method just at present to got money we would suggest that an application should be made to tho County Council for assistance. A meeting of the Petano Cemetery trustees took place ou Thursday evenl "«VmW* Villera , Hotel. Present: Messrs G. iHe™ (chairman), Tuxford, HauUain, CarswcH, and Major Richardson. Mr Villcrs was appointed cliairman of the trustees. Ihc chairman was instructed to mtcrvicw Mi H. Baker, Chief Surveyor, to obtain a survey of the cemetery■ reserve. It was resolved to hold a special mcetiug tliw day week at 7 p.m. to draw up rules and scale of burial fees. Ilobson's Colossnl Mirror of the Egyptian War will open in Napier on Monday night at the Theatre Royal for three nights only. Tho scenes and lecture wherever given and exhibited have been highly spoken of by tho press, and to its other attractions gifts are added, while tho entertainment is shown at popular prices, children being admitted at sixpence all over the house. In those day.', when there is so much catering for adults, the children are apt to bo overlooked, so wo heartily recommend parents to take thenlittle ones to such a treat. With a view of ascertaining whether the smallness of the membership of tho Agricultural and Pastoral Society is duo to the ballot and the two guinea subscription, Mr R. Dobson, thehon. treasurer of the society, has issued a circular inviting settlers to say whether they will join if the ballot is abolished and the annual subscription reduced to one guinea. It is to be hoped that tho circular will evoke such an expression of epinion as will leave no doubt in tho minds of the committee that an Agricultural and Pastoral Society is not a club, but an association for tho purpose of promoting the prosperity of tho whole district. Tho Waipawa Brass Band, under the conductorship of Mr Joseph Chicken, will give an open-air performance on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock in tho paddock next the R'jpository. The following is the programme :—Quick March (sacred), "Christ the Lord has Risen" (Linter) ; polka, "Loving Hearts" (M. Seaman); Pas liedoubt, "L. Villageois" (B. Gunner); waltz, " Loving and Hoping " (11. Round); selection, "La Recreation Musicalc " (J. Bemmcrle); polka, "Bagatelle" (B. Gusner) ; lancers, "Belgravia" (R. Smith); q-iiok march, "Song of Glory" (A. VioLitta) ; galop, "Early Morning " (Sydney Lintou.) God save the Queen. The Petane Public Library Committee met on Thursday night, when there were present Major Richardson (chairman), Messrs Hamilton, C. Villcrs, and Lanauze. Tho funds in hand, it was stated by tho secretary (Mr Hamilton), amounted to £50, including the Government subsidy. It was resolved that the secretary should order from England books to tho value of £'•}(), the selection to be made by the committee from tho Napier Athomeum catalogue. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr J. Grindoll for his handsome gift of books. It was also proposed and carried tkat a number of books should bo ordered to form the nucleus of a children's library. Tho committee decided to hold their meetings for tho future at Mr Villers' hotel. At tho R.M. Court this morning, before Captain Precco, R.M., John Cummirigs was charged on the information of John Tuck, of Hastings, with disorderly conduct on tho licensed premises of the latter on Thursday evening. Defendant plendcd not guilty. After hearing tho evidence, which was very contradictory, and showed there was a row in the house, tho complainant and constable asserting that tho defendant was to blame, while defendant and an indepondant witness said accused took no part in tho brawl, tho case was' a veryjtrumpery one. His Worship inflicted a lino of 10s and costs. —John Walker was charged with vagrancy, and pleaded guilty. This was a said case, a respectable man, through poverty, wishing to bo brought before the Court. Accused was sent to gaol for fourtenn days with hard labor. Tho opening soiree of the now Wcsleyan Church, Hastings, which was held yesterday in the Town Hall, was tho most successful and largest attended ever held in the township. The three large tables were crowded at the first sitting and filled again at tho second. The arrangements wore perfect, and great credit is due to tho promoters. Mesdames Taylor, Cocks, Bishop, Alexander, and Farmery, with tho Misses Woods and Donoys, presided over the wellloaded tables, and they were ably assisted by Misses Tuckwell, Bcmvcll, Cocks, and Jacoby. ' At 8 o'clock the concert commenced, and tho hall was densely packed. Mr T. Tanner presided, and his opening remarks, though few, were choice and woiglity. The first part of the entertainment consisted of sacred music. Several glees were sung by the Napier choir. Mr Watkius, an old favorite with the Hastings people, sang "Too late, too late." But tho solo by Miss Tuckwell, "Ho shall wipe tho Tears," was tho most admired in the first part. Tho second part consisted of secular music, and it went well throughout. During the evening the report of the trustees was read by the secretary, and we gathered from that that tho finances arc in a healthy state. The new church will seat 200, and though unassuming externally, internally has a very neat and comfortable appearance. There will bo a debt of little over £100, but the committee have formed a scheme to have il; quito free within twelve months. The Rev. Mr Lewis, of Napier, delivered a short but telling address, and gave his warm congratulations to the Hastings friends. The thanks of the meetin" wore given to the Bingers,?including Mr Robinson, the leader, Miss Banbury, the accompanist, and also to the ladies who assisted at the tea, neither was the chairman forgotten. After the Doxology was sung and Benediction pronounced the vast audienco was dismissed. We know Hop Bitters are above and beyond all as a nutritious tonic and curative. Road thoroughly tho Life Insurance as a provision.—Tho importance of seourement of means for those we might elsowiso leave in needy circumstances, is not more wise than the procurement of an extended lease of life by the continuous use of Wolfe's SciiNArre.— [Advt.]
