NEWS OF THE DAY.

Madras Bridge.—This structure is progressing rapidly. A tender for the iron work was accepted by the Council last evening,

Board of Education Bill.—From information received in town to-day we understand that Mr Montgomery's Bill for reestablishing the Board of Education was thrown out in the Legislative Council last night. Found Drowned. —A man named Evans, sailmaker on board the ship Waikato, was found drowned this morning on tho rocks between the Gladstone Pier and Screwpile Jetty. He was found by a porter on the railway named Mazey. Information was at once given to the police, and the body was conveyed to the casual ward. Northern Agricultural and Pastoral ASSOCIATION. —No effort is to be spared to make the annual exhibition of this association a genuine success. The ground is being put into order, and several improvements made for the accommodation of stock. The entries are expected to be very numerous, as many breeders will take advantage of this exhibition to show stock on its way to the metropolitan exhibition. New Paper.—A meeting was held at the Pier Hotel, Kaiapoi, on Monday evening, to decide on starting a weekly paper on the " co-operative " principle for Northern Canterbury. Mr F. H. M. Walker was elected secretary, to obtain information and report to a larger meeting. It is reported that the new journal is to be the organ of a defeated Kaiapoi politician. The persons said to be connected with the movement have very little interest in it beyond wishing it well. Uhristchurch Diocesan Choral Association. —There will be full choral evensong this day, at 7.30 p.m, at St Michael's Church (on the occasion of the opening of Synod), under the auspices of this association, whose annual festive service this is. The following is an abridgement of the published service list:— Processional. "Wc march, we march to victory" (from the " Hymnary") ; preces and responses, Tallis's " Festival" setting; proper Psalms, 33, 97, 150, to single chants; Magnificat aud Munc Dimittis, Dr Garrett in F; anthem, " Praise the Lord, O my Soul," by Goss; hymns 304 and 322. Mr Neville Barnett, F.C.O, will preside at the organ. There will be an early celebration of Holy Communion at 8 a.m, and a second at 11 o'clock, at which the Most Rev the Primate will officiate; At evensong the prayers will be intoned by the Rev H. J. Edwards, and the sermon will, we believe, be preached by the Ven Archdeacon Harper M any people do not know the reason why some descriptions of soap, when being used, cause the hands to smart and feel sore. It is simply owing to the imperfect knowledge of some soap boilers, who not being thoroughly acquainted with the ingredients they are using, do not compound them in a scientific manner, or as is more commonly the case, that manufacturers either try to pass off a spurious adulterated article, or else by using an undue quantity of the cheapest commodities, make one of inferior quality. We are aware that the Star Brand Soap is made on the strictest principles of chemical affinity, and that every care is taken by the manufacturers to produce an article possessing the strongest abstergent properties. All persons, whether old colonists or new arrivals, should use the Star Brand Soap, as it is the best in this market. [Advt.]
