The Natives iu tbe North Island are moving in the matter of coming to an agreement with the Europeans. A meeting of prominent chiefs is to be held for the purpose.

POSTPONMBST of Sale.—Mr. Fache requests us to draw attention to an advertisement in another column stating that the sale by auction of freehold property an 1 blacksmith’s kit—advertised for Saturday, December 2, on account ot Mr. George Prescott—is indefinitely postponed. A Lucky Thief.—Martin Wieberg, who got five years for stealing 5000 sovereigns from one of the P, and O. steamers, is about to be released from the Pentridge Stockade. Victoria, During his thres years and ten months’ incarceration Martin has been very well conducted. He comes out,it is hinted, to live on bis mosey. Aurora Australis, For about an hour last Sunday night the aurora australis illuminated the south-western sky. As usual, the lights were continually varying in intensity ; now almost fading out of sight and anon becoming stronger and dancing up to the zenith, drawing expressions of admiration trom all who beheld it. Junior Cricket Match.—By reference to another column, a report of tho cricket match between a combined team of Clyde and Ophir J.C.C., v. Alexandra J.C.C., will be found. Some excellent play was shown on both sides, but it will be seen that the combined team were complete'y overmatched by their adversaries.

Denniston, of Ida Valley, was the purchaser of the latter animal, also of some half-dozen cows. The l itter were very much admired, and doubtless they were a very pretty lot. Press Association Snobbery. The Press Association has telegraphed throughout the colony that the “ son of a deceased clergyman” at Auckland has been c >mnii'ted for trial for obtaining goods under false pretences. Why the “son of a deceased clergyman?” Is the telegraphist a disciple of Frcethought, and anxious to cast all ignominy he can upon oh-rgym n ? Had tho criminal’s father been the angel Gabriel (supposing an angel could have a son), the deed of his son would not have shorn his sire’s wings of a single feather. Had the father of this criminal been a shoemaker would the Press Association snob have telegranhed that fact l—Brice 'lerald. St. Dunstan Lodge 1.0. G.T. -Theusual quarterly meeting of St. Dunstan Lodge 1.0. G.T., was held in the Town Hall, Clyde, on Saturday, the 4th inst.

The “Otago Daily Times.”—Last Wednesday’s issue completed the 2lst year of this paper’s publication. After reviewing the various changes that have taken place during that period, it says :—“ No one can deny that the Times has merged into manhood strong and vigorous. Having passed in infancy and youth through many of the difficulties incident thereto, we have not been impaired thereby. Among the largest and widest-circulated journals in New Zealand—if not, indeed, in the latter respect pre-eminent—many who witnessed our birth will now congratulate us on our suecess, and wish us continued prosperity. The future who can predict? Twenty-one years hence will witness great and imp irtant changes. Another century of the world’s history will then have been entered on. Many of the actors of to-day will ere then have passed away, and their places will be filled by others. Wi l our city and Colony have marched onwards with equally rapid and successful strides? Proud of her position in it, we hope Dunedin will then he, as now,in the forefront as regards its buildings, its enterprise, its intelligent and reliable population, and that New Zealand will lead among the prospetous Colonies of the Southern Hemisphere.” Holloway’s Pills,—Dysentery, Diarrhoea and Disordered Bowels.—These mala dies are ever present, and it left unattended frequently terminate fatally. It should be everywhere known that all these complaints originate in the presence of some undigested substance in the stomach or bowels, or of some deleterious matter in the blood, and that Holloway’s Pills can eliminate either with ease and expedition. They combine iu a surprising degree puryfyiug, alterative, regulating, and strengthening qualities, and thus exert over every internal organ the wholesomely controlling influence so necessary for subduing excessive action in the frame Holloway’s medicine may be advantageously taken as a means of keeping the blood pue and the body cool—the only practicable plan of maintaining health in youth, in manhood, and in old age.
