Lynch’s Sweep, for tho Dunedin Cup, will be drawn for on the 20th instant. We are requested to state that all Returns will be expected to be received by that date. We would recommend all those who are . suffering from the effects of bad teeth to avail themselves of the skill of Mr J, P. Armstrong, who can be consulted on Tuesday next, at Hawthorne's Bendigo Hotel, Clyde. Remember his stay will be for that day only. We have been requested by the Secretary of tho Dunstan District Cricket Club to draw the attention of members to the necessity of attending practice to morrow I (Saturday) afternoon ; also, to attend a meeting to arrange for date of return match with tho Queenstown Club, and other business. Under tho now Census Act, 1877, the census has to be taken as from tho ni«ht of Sunday, March 3rd. Before that date the necessary papers will bo left at all houses, and a few days after they will be lifted. We shall hope to hear from all subenumerators that every assistance has been accorded them in their task. The last number of the Illustrated New Zealand Herald, published in Dunedin, we bave to aoknnwlcilgqreoeipt of. It is really a very creditable production, the engravings are of a superior cUaraoter, whilst the reading matter is sound and useful. For transmission Homo it “is one of the host journals that roaches ns. As the time for qualifying to be placed on the electoral roll is now approaching we take the opportunity of reminding those who, up to the present time, have not franchised themselves to do so. The political atmosphere is not sufficiently clear to say with distinctness what may fcc done during the next session, but everything indicates an early dissolution, which necessarily means a general election. Advice to Mothers!— Are you broken in your rest by a sick child suffering with the pain of cutting teeth ? Go at once to a chemist and get a bottle of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless and pleasant to taste, it produces natural quiet sleep, by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes “ as bright as a button.” It soothes tho child, it softens tho gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates tho bowels, and is the best known remedy for dyssentcry and diarrhma whether arising from toothing or other causes.. Mrs Winslow’s Soothing Syrup is old by Medicine dealers everywhere at Is. U'l per bottle., Manufacture! it 493 Oxford- .treet, linden. .

i The Cricket Match, Australian Eleven - and the Auckland twenty-two resulted in a fc victory lor the former in one with twenty-four runs to spare. The following verdict was returned I by a New South Wales jury:—“ Died by the visitation of God, accelerntedjby drink'and t exposure.” J. flivett and Henry Thortiasson were 7 fighting at Rakaia, Canterbury, on Thursday, the 7th inst., when, after two or three fc rounds, Hivett knocked Thomasson down, and the latter died tihortlyaftor. A Hivett is now under arrest. Mr Pache desires’Tre-to state that the sale by auction of the one-sixth share in the celebrated Golden Gate Water Race and Claims, to have taken place on Wednesday f last, did not come off, a private sale having - been effected to Mr B. R. Baird, of Cromwell, who, we understand, at the same time purchased anotherfshare, (consequently that gentleman now holds three one-sixth shares, a or one-half of tbatjvaluable property. ' The Geelong Advertiser remarks that a rather singular occurrence took place during | divine service of the ; ;Churoh of England, Birregurra, on a recent Sunday. When.the 1 Litany was read the congregation repeated the responses in a very devout manner for a length of time, but wh cnAhoJprayer. -was 5 offered up for the Governor there was no f response—tho worshippers 1 wero dumb. 1 The clergyman, after waiting for a considcr--1 able time, made tire responses himself. The last number of -theJGazette contains a list of officiating ministers within the meaning of the MarriageJAct. The Colony possesses 185 of the Church of England, 61 of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand, 56 of the Roman Catholic Church, 47 of the Presbyterian Church of Otago and Southland, 67 Wesleyans, 14 Congregational Independents, 10 Baptists, 14 of the tive Methodist Connection, 12 of the Uni- , ted Methodist Free Churches, 7 of tho Lutheran Church, and 4 of the Hebrew Congregation. e “ Here,”says the Post, “is a fact for our Good Templar friends. A young man of independent moans was charged with • drunkenness in a .certain town tho other day. He had been convicted eighteen times previously, and the Bench, remarking that it appeared to be no use fining him, sentenced him to a month’s imprisonment.” Wo fancy that more “ facts ” than this 1 might be found with a little trouble for the edification of “ our Good Templar friends.” 1 After the Cricket match which was played on Saturday last at Clyde a foot-race between Sweet, of the Dunstau team, and Mai’an, of tho Queenstown team took place, which resulted in a victory for the former, after a well contested race, by about a foot. ' The distance was ono hundred yard, and was accomplished iu eleven seconds and a quarter, which, considering the nature of tho ground, was very good time. Several gentlemen then • showed their skill in throwing the cricket ball, the best bciug Mr M ‘Lean, of Queenstown, who succeeded in covering 95 yards. Mr Campbell, the Government Inspector of commonages, has been.making it lively for owners of cattle and horses running on the Clyde commonage by having a general muster during tho week, the result of which has been that some hundreds of -head have had to be paid for. The system adopted by him of impounding them and placing damages of Bs. 6d, per head to pay the expenses of mustering was a good one, and will perhaps have the effect of causing owners in future to pay for tho right of grazing without being forced. Should it not have that effect, and, when the time arrives again, it is deemed necessary to have another muster, we would suggest that tho same course be pursued but the damages considerably increased. A remarkable case of fraud, says the South Australian Register, has just come to our knowledge. A respectable firm in Adelaide recently received by tho ship St Vincent two packages which were supposed to contain German manufactures to the invoice value of LSO, hut on opening them they contained nothing hat small coal cleverly overlaid with, straw. Tho matter has been placed in the hands of tho police. Theie is not the slightest suspicion that the packages wero tampered with on board the St Vincent; but where the dishonest trick was played—whether at 'the manufacturer's or during tho transit from Hamburgh to London, or in the London Docks— it is impossible to say. The packages bore r no indication of having been opened since they left the original factory in Germany. A good story is told of a tradesman and a customer. The customer had bought a pocket book, and having put iuto it all bis papers, &c., asked what ha should do with the old one. The tradesman, being aomeiwhat of a joker, suggested that it should be deposited opposite the door in order to make as he expressed it. a fool of somebody. This accordingly was done, and by-and-hye tho expected victim came along. Stealthily picking up tho article and putting it carefully into his breast pocket, he disappeared hurriedly round the corner, closely followed, however, by the two jokers. The finder was observed upon reaching a secludod spot to open the book, when the -pair, chuckling over his discomfiture, returned to the shop. A little time after, however, the customer, after examining his loose cash, discovered he had left, by some inadvertence, a half sovereign in the old pocket hook. We leave the reader to imarine his frame of mind. FI.ORILINE ! —Pop, TUB AND Breath. —A few drops of the liquid • ‘ Fierilino 1 ’ sprinkled on a wet tooth-brush produces a pleasant lather, which thoroughly cleanses the teeth from all parasites or impurities, hardens the gums, prevents tartar, stops decay, gives to tjio teeth a poculia-pearly-whitenoss, and a delightful fragrance to tho breath. It removes all unpleasant odour arising from decayed teeth or tobacco smoke. “ Tho Fragrant Floriline,” being composed in part of Honey and sweet herbs, is delicious to the taste, ajid the greatest toilet discovery of the age.
