We publish, this evening, a supplement containing the mail news via San Francisco.

At the Licensing Court, Greenstone, yesterday, before W. H. Revell, W. H. Harrison and W. Hindmarsh, Esq.'s, Commissioners, licenses were granted to Daniel Murphy for a new house at Westbrook and to Mr King. Yesterday afternoon great anxiety was occasioned at the Greenstone township by the disappearance of a young child, the daughter of Mr John King. The residents made a search party, but when our informant left no tidings had been received of the missing one.

Pressure on our space compels us to hold over the Mining Report and Frank Truman's contribution.

An English silver watch has been lost. The finder is requested to bring it to the office of this paper. The Okuku Water Race Company advertise for tenders for the widening of Cashman's head race.

Tenders are iuvited by the Education Board for the construction of desks, &c., for the Kumara State-School. Particulars may be learned at Mr Gibson's store, Seddon-street. The tenders are to be sent to the Hokitika office by 6 p.m. on Thursday next. The premises in Seddon-street, known as the bowling alley, are for Bale or rent.

Tenders are required for building a church on the Church of England Reserve. Plans and specifications can be seen at Drummond's Post Office Store.

At Hokitika yesterday the Clio, while being towed into port by the Lioness, was thrown by the sea on to the North Spit. Her position was not considered dangerous. [Since the above was written, the schooner Clio was safely placed alongside the wharf at ten o'clock last evening.]

The Jewish New-Year festival is being celebrated at this time. A member of the Auckland Board of Education stated, at a recent meeting, that it had cost £1477 to recover £1036 of the Education rate. The usual Church Services will be held to-morrow.

The new arrangement as to the closing of the Banks at 8 o'clock p.m. on Saturdays, and at 3 o'clock on w other days, will come into force next week. Since the creation of the world the importance of dress has been recognised by mankind, Hew much personal appearance is improved by art is wellknown ; even the greatest diplomatists do not neglect so important an essential as a becoming suit. Tastefully cut, well-fitting and becoming garments are only to be had at " The Beehive," where a single garment is sold at wholesale price.—[Advt.]
