The! Chicago Minstrels appeared for a second time in Clyde on Tuesday evening last, and Lad a very good audience. The entertainment was well received, the audience dispersing fully satisfied at having their money’s worth. On the following evening they performed at Alexandra, and afterwards proceeded by the way of Blacks and St Bathans en route for Nasoby. The election of Member of the Vincent County Council to represent Hawea Riding, in the place of Mr'dJlMitchinson resigned, took place on Friday last, and resulted in the return of Mr D. A, Jolly, by a majority of 19 votes. The other candidates were Mr I. Loughnan and J. Marsh.

The happy couple were Mr and Mrs Allan Cameron (late Miss M. Robertson.) There was a better attendance at the Quadrille Assembly’s dance this week. By some unaccountable means the Wakatip Mail has altogether lost sight of the late adventures of Mr Manders in Dunedin.

A judgment summons case against a Postoffice clerk, not now resident in Hokitika, was heard by the Resident Magistrate there (Mr Fitzgerald) last week, during which, in answer to a request that immediate payment might be enforced, the magistrate remarked that an able bodied laborer would have a far better chance of meeting his liabilities than a Post-office clerk.

At a recent meeting of the council a letter was received from a resident asking permission to discharge firearms within the town boundaries for the next three months, for the purpose of destroying sparrows. It was at once agreed that the requisite permission should be granted, but Councillor Harrison desired to know where the firearms were to be discharged. “ Not in the streets ?” inquired the councillor. “ Anywhere,” promptly replied the mayor, and his remark was received with a general chorus of “ Hear, hear.” Throat Affection’s an-d Hoarseness. - All suffering from irritation of the throat and hoarseness will bo agreeably surprised at the almost immediate relief afforded by the use of “Brown’s Bronchial Troches.” These famous “ lozenges” arc now sold by most respectable chemists in this country at Is 14(1 per box.
