Commander Edwin wired at 11 a.m.— '' Bad weather may be expected between west and south and north-east, and glass rise." A meeting of the Hospital Defence Committee will be held in the Town Hall to-morrow evening at eight o'clock. It is requested that all accounts against the Committee be sent in by 7 p.m. Mr Thomas Green is commencing business as a baker, confectioner, &c, in Main street, opposits to Rugg's Hotel, and will open on Saturday next. David Lawlor was charged at the Resident Magistrate's Court, Hokitika, yesterday, on information, with having, on the Bth inst., at Kanieri Forks, attempted to discharge a loaded gun at Joseph Kennedy, with intent to maim him. The accused, who was undefended, pleaded not guilty. He was committed to take his trial at the next sittings of the Supreme Court, bail being allowed, himself in .£IOO, and two sureties of £SO each. It seems Thomas O'Loughlin, the pedestrian, sustained greater injury than was at first supposed. The Argus to-day reports that he has been an inmate of the Hospital for some weeks with a bad leg. His injury may interfere with his running in the future, but there is at present no

reason to apprehend that amputation of the leg will be necessary. His injury in the first instance was serious enough for him to lay up with, as the bone was injured, so that subsequently inflammation set in from the inside. He is, however, getting on very well under Dr. Morice'a care, and will soon be about again. Two juries being unable to agree in the trials of Joseph Symes, Melbourne, charged with keeping a disorderly house under the Act of George 111., which provides that the occupier of any house, room, &c, which is used as a place of public amusement on Sunday, for which money is charged, shall be deemed a keeper of a disorderly house, defendant was allowed bail, to appear on the 15th December on the same charge. This is an Englishman's bull : —A man, in defence of tobacco, said: "There's my father, he smokes and chews, and he is eighty years old." x "Ah," said the opponent, "if he had not used tobacco, he might have been ninety by this time." Snakes and Tarnation.—Haul down your Flags ! —-He is coming ! Babylon is fallen ! Tell it not in Kumara ! . Go ye, fathers, to your daughters of Kumara, and say unto them—Behold the Flying Dutchman ! He who cometh across the seas in a frying-pan hath got fine linen and glorious apparel; needlework fit for the all-glorious within of the king's daughter of the ancient of days. Clothe yourselves, ye naked ! Feed yourselves, ye hungry ! Shoe yourselves, ye bare-footed, at the Great Feast of Vance Klaus Hasselaer !

God Save the Queen !—[Advt.] Never Return.—lt is said that one out of every four real invalids who go to foreign countries to recover health never return, except as a corpse. The undertakers, next to the hotel-keepers, have the most profitable business. This excessive mortality may be prevented and patients saved and cured under the care of friends and loved ones at home, if they will but use American Co.'s Hop Bitters in time. Read Indigestion.—The main cause of nervousness is indigestion, and that is caused by weakness of the stomach. No one can have sound nerves and good health without using American Co.'s Hop Bitters to strengthen the stomach, purify the blood, and keep the liver and kidneys active, to carry off all the poisonous and waste matter of the system.
