We are compelled to hold over telegrams and other general news until tomorrow. 245 fresh cases of cholera have occurred at Paris, 84 of which have proved fatal. The Westland County Council elections take place to-morrow. The candidates for the Arahura Riding are Messrs Dungan, Seddon, M'Whirter, Hannan, and Byrne. The polling takes place between 9a.m. and G p.m. The general opinion is that the former members will be returned. Nominations for the office of Mayor takes place at the Town Clerk's Office at noon to-morrow. Messrs Byrne and Hannan addressed the County Council electors at the Adelphi Theatre on Saturday evening last. Mr Jeremiah Gilbert occupied the chair. Mr Byrne took the opportunity to contradict an error which had crept into the local paper that evening, wherein, iu the

report of his meeting at Dillman's Town the previous evening, it was stated that "£450 was put down for the Chairman's visit down south." Resolutions that the candidates were fit and proper persons to represent the Arahura Riding in the County Council of Westland were moved—for Mr Byrne, by Messrs M'Glone and Gellert, and for Mr Hannan by Messrs T. Connington and M. Joyce. Both resolutions were carried unanimously, and a vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the meetings. Elsewhere Mr Hannan makes a special appeal to the electors. Mr Dungan will address the County 1 Council electors at the Theatre Royal this evening, at 8 o'clock. A man named Herlihy, working in M'Glone and party's claim, was brought down to the Hospital this afternoon, his right foot having been severely crushed by the fall of a stone from the face. The big toe has sustained a compound comminuted fracture, the two next toes are so crushed that they had to be removed, and the next toe is also fractured. Commander Edwin wired this afternoon :—" Bad weather after 15 hours from now between north-east and north and west; glass further fall again after 10 hours." The nomination of candidates for the Hohonu Riding, Grey County, took place at the Court House, Greenstone, yesterday, at noon. Messrs Patrick Foley and James Nicholas were the only two nominated. The poll for election takes place on Wednesday, the 19th inst. Mr M. Keenan, a candidate for the representation of the Marsden Riding in Grey County Council, will address the electors at Foley's Hotel, Westbrook, this evening at 8 o'clock. Mr James Nicholas will address the electors of Hohonu Riding at Foley's Hotel, Westbrook, on Friday evening, and at Greenstone on Saturday evening. A purse has been lost on the Greymouth line of tramway, for the recovery of which a reward is offered. The Dillman's Town Quadrille Assembly will hold their usual meeting to-morrow (Wednesday) evening. At the meeting of the County Council yesterday, tenders for the extension of the Lamplough track to the Kapitea Creek were opened. There were eleven of them ; that of J. Miller was accepted. Half Asleep!—"l never," wrote a young lady to a friend, "go to church or lecture but I am half asleep, and I never know afterwards what the sermon or lecture was about." It was a plain case of nervous lethargy, produced by want of action of the liver and digestive organs. She was persuaded to try Hop Bitters, and now she writes : " How intelligent and bright are the sermons and lectures now, and how glorious the world we live in is ! Hop Bitters are indeed a blessing tome." Notice The Brazen Serpent.—Like the brazen serpent that the great Jewish leader lifted high in the sight of the perishing followers, whereby they were saved from death, the discoverers of Hop Bitters have placed before suffering, ailing mankind, a remedy which enables them to fight disease with conquering advantage. See Not a Beverage.—" They are not a beverage, but a medicine, with curative properties of the highest degree, containing no poisonous drugs. They do not tear down an already debilitated system, but build it up. One bottle contains more real hop strength than a barrel of ordinary beer. Physicians prescribe them."
