The Kumara Times. Published Every Evening. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1886.

Mr D. Macf.irlane, R.M., having received a telegram from the Minister of Mines announcing his intention of leaving Wauaka for* the Coast not until the middle of this month, the ordinary sittings of the R.M. and Warden's Courts, at Goldsborough to-morrow, and Kumara on Friday next, will be held at the usual hour at said places. The Hon. Mr Larnach promises to telegraph definitely the time of his departure from Lake Wanaka as soon as his arrangements are settled. The Christchurch coach arrived this afternoon at the usual hour, bringing the East Coast mails, and a direct mail from England.

The ordinary meeting of the Hospital Committee was held in the Town Hall last evening. A report will be given tomorrow. Messrs Jas. Kerr and A. Matheson, of Greymouth, members of the Westland Waste Lands Board, arrived by tram last evening, and left by coach this morning for Hokitika, to attend a meeting of the Board to be held at two o'clock this afternoon.

Tenders are invited by the Westland County Council for the construction of a dray road from Blake's tramway to join the Mignonette Flat road. Plans and specifications can be seen at the County Chambers ; also (in a day or two) at Mr R. J. Seddon's. Tenders close on Tuesday next, the 9th inst., at 5 p.m. It is particularly requested that all accounts against the County Council for services or supplies rendered or delivered up to 28th February may be rendered without fail on or before Saturday next, the 6th inst., at 5 p.m. Sergeant Watson, of Ross, apparently committed an error of judgment, when he arrested a man on a charge of assaulting him and obstructing him in the execution of his duty. It seems that the man made a bid at an auction sale, whereupon the sergeant put him out or attempted to put him out. The man naturally resisted. The case was tried in Court, and, in giving judgment, Mr Macfarlane, R.M., stated that Sergeant Watson had committed a grave indiscretion in interfering with the man at all. The Ross Advocate is jubilant with one of the witnesses, and writes :—" The audience roared with their feet and chuckled with their lips ; the Magistrate looked severe, the constable roared in terrible accents ' Order !' The Clerk winked at the Reporter, who met with a solemn glance another from the learned Counsel."

Commander Edwin wired at 4.44 p.m. yesterday :—" Bad weather is expected after 16 hours from now, between northeast and north and west; glass fall, and rain within 12 hours, with wind backing." And to-day, at 12.21 p.m.—"lndications of frost, or very cold to-night." His Excellency the Governor has resolved to take up his residence in Auckland from about the third week in March next until the middle of May. A Maori woman at Opotiki who had been deserted by her husband took the matter so much to heart that she hanged herself the other day in a most determined manner, after having been thwarted in an attempt to starve herself to death.

On Sunday morning (the Ross Advocate states) a gust of wind carried away two chains of Burning attached to the winding gear of Messrs Roberts and party, one of the tribute parties of the Ross United Company. A fall of coal took place in the Brunner mine on Monday whereby a miner of the name of James Richards got severely crushed about the chest. He was very stiff and sore about the chest for some time last night, but is much easier now.

William M'Donald, of Br miner ton, challenges James Brislane, of Greymouth, to run him for the sum of £IOO the following distauces—loo, 200, 300, 400, and 500 yards. The contest to be run off in five weeks' time of signing articles. It is rumored that Sir Julius Vogel intends contesting the Te Aro (Wellington) seat at the next election.

The Marlborough Express states authoritatively that Mr Henry Redwood will oppose Mr Conolly for Pictonat the next general election.

The rumour is current in Sydney (writes the correspondent of the Melbourne Age) that Bishop Pearson, of Newcastle, is likely to succeed Bishop Moorhouse in the see of Melbourne.

Drunken Stuff.—How many children and women are slowly and surely dying, or rather being killed, by excessive doctoring, or the daily use of some drug or drunken stuff called medicine, that no one knows what it is made of, who can easily be cured and saved by American Co.'s Hop Bitters, which is so pure, simple, and harmless that the most frail woman, weakest invalid, or small child can trust in it ! See

Facts.—Close confinement and careful attention to all factory work gives the operatives pallid faces, poor appetites, languid, miserable feelings, poor blood, inactive liver, kidneys, &c, and all the physicians and medicine in the world cannot help them unless they get out of doors or use American Co. : s Hop Bitters. None need suffer if thev will use it freely See ' *

The epidermis on the valar and palmer side of the hand of the thirty-year-old patient was completely separated and lifted up as far as the join-, of the hand. The likewise lifted nails were hanging loose, and half of the phalanx of the nail of the middle finger was coaled. The wounds thus contracted healed in three weeks under daily applications of Eucalypti Extract dressing. The patient has retained the full use of her hand.—[Advt.]
