The hearing of applications affecting the County Electoral Nolls for the Hiding of Arahura will take place at the Resident Magistrate’s Court, Goldsborough, on Thursday next, June 12th, at 11 a.m. Miss Dargon, the great dramatic artiste and renowned elocutionist, who is an-

nounced to appear in Kumara positively on Thursday night only, gave two entertainments in Hokitika, one on Friday the other on Saturday evening. Of them the Times says the dramatic sketches and recitals were delivered in a most masterly style of elocution. In fact the whole programme was given with such a degree of spirit and enthusiasm, that the only regret felt by the audience was that it ended too soon.

Owing to Miss Dargon’s entertainment on Thursday night, the weekly quadrille assemblies at Kumara and Dillman’s will be held to-morrow (Wednesday) instead of Thursday ; both at 8 o’clock. Commander Edwin wired at 3.52 p.m. yesterday : “ Glass further fall, with northerly winds ; and no frost.” To-day, shortly after 12 o’clock noon he telegraphed an “urgent” message stating that—' ‘ Bad weather may be expected between north-east and north and west; glass further fall, but rising after tea hours. Indications of heavy rainfall, and after twelve hours wind change southward of west.”

A number of claims are marked out, but of course it will be a few days before the value of the discovery and the direction of the run of gold can be proved. ”

The time for receiving applications for passages on the second trip of the Wairarapa to the South Sea Islands has been extended to Friday, June 20th. The Christchurch Press of Friday last reports : —Bella Macdonald, a girl seventeen years of age, residing at Cashmere, met with a painful accident yesterday. Her father had left a dynamite cap about, and in trying to ascertain the nature of its composition with a hairpin, Miss Macdonald caused it to explode. The first and second fingers and the thumb of her left hand were shattered. The wound was dressed at the Hospital.

Lovely Climes. There are lovely climes and places in which the evening zephyrs are loaded with malaria and the poison of fever and epidemics. To dwell there in health is impossible, without a supply of Hop Bitters at hand. These Bitters impart an equalizing strength to the system, and prevent the accumulation of deadly spores of contagion.

Malarial Fever. Malarial fevers, constipation, torpidity of the liver and kidneys, general debility, nervousness and neuralgic ailments yield readily to this great disease conqueror, Hop Bitters. It repairs the ravages of disease by converting the food into rich blood, and it gives new life and vigour to the aged and infirm.—See
