The funeral of Eliza Jane Sellars, who died suddenly yesterday morning, is appointed to take place to-morrow after-

noon, at two o'clock. Deceased was a regular attendant at the Wesleyan Sunday School, and also attended the State School, so that it is probable many of her schoolmates will be at the funeral to pay their last tribute of respect to her memory. The Rifle Volunteers will parade for Adjutant's quarterly inspection this evening, at half-past seven o'clock. Major Webb and Lieut. Spence will both be present on the occasion.

Commander Edwin wired to-day at 12.50 p.m.—"lndications of strong winds between north-east and north and west, and glass fall."

Mr W. A. Spence, for Messrs R. W. Wade and Co., to-day sold by auction the ! freehold sections and bakery which have ' been advertised by Mr W. Kroener. The section with the shop and bakery upon it were sold to Messrs Keech and Malloy, for £250 ; and the adjoining section, with two cottages on it, was knocked down for £2O. Five paddocks (two unfenced), held as residence areas, were sold for £l6, and a well-conditioned five-year-old bay mare for £l6. Miss Lawrence will recite at her benefit performance to-morrow evening an entirely new Irish poem by George R. Sims entitled "Kate Maloney." The comedy "Cut off with a Shilling," the first item in to-morrow evening's programme, is said to have been received at its recent production in Hokitika by the Volunteers there with great relish. One of the principal characters in it is a colonel of Volunteers, and the whole of the action of the piece takes place on a review day. The West Coast Times has been informed that the Hokitika and Kumara Fire Brigade teams, now on their way to Napier to take part in the competitions there, had a friendly contest at Greymouth, when the Kumara men proved successful. A meeting of the creditors of Mr Thomas Robinson, miner, of Larrikins, is announced to be held at the Queen's Hotel, Seddon street, to-morrow evening, at seven o'clock.
