We are requested to draw the attention of members of the Clyde Cricket Club to the meeting on Saturday evening, the 18th inst., for the transaction of important business. .An Oamaru paper says that Mr Woollcombe, the present Resident Magistrate at Timaru, who also does duty at Waimate, is about to be by Mr Richmond Reetham, now Resident Magistrate at Napier.

Mr Fyke, left Clyde on Tuesday for Wellington, to attend to his parliamentary duties- In consequence of the stoppage of the coaches on the Tuapeka road he went to Cromwell, and thence proposed proceeding to Dunedin by way of the Lakes and Invercargill. A still in full work was discovered by the Collector of Customs at Wanganui in the upper, storey of the City Brewery. The proprietors, Messrs Whitelpck and M‘Donough, were fined L 2.10 with the option of twelve months’ imprisonment in each case. Another of the partners, named Lough, who was caught in the room with the still, was sentenced to twelve months’ imprisonment without the option of a fine. Mr Samson notifies that he 'will sell by by public auction oa ftlonday, the 19th instant, in the Town Hall, Alexandra, by order of the mortgagee, a one-fourth share in the well-known claim at Doctor’s Point, known as Bailey and Cameron’s.' As an alluvial claim this is one of the very best in the Dunstan district, and well worthy the attention of capitalists and investors. At the same time he will offer a lot of potatoes, flour, and a miscellaneous lot of goods. We were shown the other day a letter from Tuapeka, in which the writer says The whole place has gone cement mad, myself among the rest, but from the evident desire of many of the claimholdera to sell shares instead - of pushing on with work, I am not quite certain but that a very great deal more is being said than the prospects warrant. At all events it is highly necessary to exercise a deal of caution before investing in Wotherstone cement claims.

The Cromwell Jockey Cluh held a meeting on Monday evening last, when after dis mission, the question—Spring Meeting or no Spring Meeting, a proposition was made and seconded, against a meeting ; an amendment was, however, carried, that the district he canvassed for subscriptions, and in the event of LAO being subscribed, one day’s racing be held for prizes to the value of LGO. During the meeting, the Treasurer said there was a deficiency on last year’s transactions the sum of L.'iO. Fi.onn.TNK i Fon thr Tr-stti and Bkkatii. —A few drops of the liquid “ Florilino” sprinkled on a wet tooth-brush produces a pleasant la f hcr, which thoroughly cleanses the teeth from all parasites or impurities, hardens the gums, prevents tartar, stops decay, gives to the teeth a peculiar pearly-whiteness, and a delightful fragrance to the breath. It removes all unpleasant odour arising from decayed teeth or tobacco smoko.— “ The Fragrant Klorilinc," being composed in part ( of Honey and sweet herbs, is delicious to the taste, and the greatest toilet discovery of the age.

A short time back on agricultural society offered a premium for tho best mode of irrigation. Ily mistake tho word •‘irrigation" was printed irritation and thus it cant* about a number of farmers scut their wives to claim tho prize.'.

A rowing match between a crew of tho Hewing Club, and a crew of Canadians, was won by tho former. Tho Canadians were apparently thoroughly used up at tho ond of the race, only two of tho ci'ew being able to pull. It is reported that they fairly cried with vexation at their defeatThis is how tho Lyoll debilitated innocent (? idiot) reports the weather in that locality: tho weather for some months has been simply disgusting,” Wo (Charleston Herald) imagine that tho weather is not tho only disgusting feature of LyelL Tho effusions of their silly ragman—the ono 60 fond of ‘ liquoring up’—aro also disgusting. During tho hearing of tho case of Rankiney v. the Norwich Union Insurance Company in Christchurch (says tho Press) Mr Reywood stated that in no case does insurance on a building cover register grates, stoves, or mantlepicces, unless they are specially mentioned on tho proposal form under the head of fittings. Insurers generally have hitherto been accustomed to regard these articles as coming within the policy effected on a building though they might bo expressly detailed.

We emitted to mention in our last issue that the member for this district had departed for Wellington—apparently mihonored and unwept. Mr Manders, since his return after last year’s parliamentary duties, has met his constituents, we believe at Skippers, Arrnwtnwn, and one or two outlying places, at neither of which docs he seem to have given any satisfactory account of his conduct. He called a meeting of his Queenstown constituents once, hut did not keep his appointment; and on the second occasion his constituents did not accept the invitation. Evidently a certain feeling between representative and represented is cordially reciprocated, but which is it—ouo of confidence or no confidence ?—Wakatip Mail.

The weather, since our last issue, when we stated it was exceedingly soft and mild, producing heavy floods in the rivers, has underwent a most radical change, the soft and mild of then, turning into hard frosts, with unprecedented falls of snow. It being so very rare to have snow in the Valley of the Molynenx, instead of an infliction, it has been rather a treat, and no end of fun at snow-balling has been the result—all alike entered into it, and in the melee were to be seen, from the atoms of humanity, wiio scarcely reached as high as the jackb ota of the patrolling constable, to the veritable old man of the district. ■ However, what was fun to the lowlanders, will, it is feared, be the reverse to those occupying the high lands, as the loss of stock, in the

shape of sheep and cattle is expected to be very great. By the accounts that reach us from other parts of the County, the snowfall appears to have been general, and is reported to be heavier than any during the past sixteen years. The Tuapeka railway was blocked up, causing an entire suspension of traffic, and a delaying of the maj from the fifth to the eighth instant. The Kingston and Winton line was also blocked up and traffic stopped, the only other outlet, therefore, from the Northern Goldfields was by the way of Nasehy, through which, King .Cobb, piloted by that careful whip— John Young Cook, succeeded in forcing his way, and keeping excellent time.

Throat Affection's and Hoarseness. - All suffering from irritation of the throat and hoarseness will ho agreeably surprised at. the almost immediate relief afforded by the use of “Brown’s Bronchial Troches.” these famous “lozenges” are now sold by most respectable chemists in this country at Is 144 per box. People troubled with a “ hacking cough,” a “slight cold,” or bronchial affections, cannot try them too soon as similar troubles, if allowed to progress result in serious Pulmonary and Asthmatic affections. See that the words ‘' Brown’s Bronchial Troches ” are on the Government Stamp around each box. —Manufactured by John I. Brown & Sons, Boston, United States. Depot, 493, Oxford-street, London Holloway’s Ointment. —Wounds, Ibad legs, ulcers, and all descriptions of soros arc cured by the proper and diligent use of these inestimable preparations. To attempt to cure bad leg's by plastering the edges of the wound together is folly, for should the skill unite, a boggy diseased condition remains underneath, to break out with tenfold fury in a few days. The only rational and permanent treatment, as indicated by nature, is to reduce the inflammation in and about the wound, to soothe the neighboring nerves, to cool the heated blond as it courses along its vessels, and to render its watery, Ichorous discharge consistent and healthy. Holloway’s Pills should likewise be taken to purify tho blood and expel the noxious humour from the system.
