The Kumara Times Published Every Evening. FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1886.

The “Called Back”' Dramatic and Comedy Company arrived in Kumara this morning, and, as announced, -will again favour the public here with two performances. By request, the drama of “Jo,” or “ Lady Dedlock’s Secret ” will be presented to-night, and “The Shaughraun” to-morrow. “Jo,” as all readers of the late Charles Dickens' works are aware, is a dramatised version of “ Bleak House,” and as such retains much of the power of the novel. The plot and incidents are of a realistic and thrilling nature, insomuch that the play is not unreasonably styled “the most pathetic drama of modern times.” The scenery incidental to its production has arrived, and will be exhibited to-night. The full caste is given in the advertisement. From the very favourable reception the public here have given the “Called Back” Company on their previous visits we expect to see a large house to-night.

A meeting of the Sports Committee iii connection with the Easter Pete was held in the Town Hall last evening. A good programme for Easter Monday was drawn up, which will be published in a few days.

Messrs Pearn, Howe and Pitzsimons were chosen as handicappers, and Mr Rudkin treasurer.

Commander Edwin wired at 2 p.m. today—“lndications of glass falling soon, and strong winds between north-east and north and west.”

Mr William White, jun., has resigned his seat as the representative of Sydenham in Parliament. The Press states that he has done so purely because of illhealth. He had delayed taking this step, hoping that his health might improve, or that there would be a short session. As his health has not improved, and a short session now seems to be improbable, he has forwarded his resignation. W. J. MTlroy and Co., Main street, Kumara, beg to announce that they are purchasers of gold.— [Advt. ]

“ You Don’t Know Their, Value,”— “They cured me of biliousness and kidney complaint, as recommended. I had a half-bottle left, which I used for my two little girls, who the doctors and the neighbours said could not be cured. I am confident I should have lost both of them one night if I had not had the American Co.’s Hop Bitters in my house to use.- That is why I say you do not know half the value of American Hop Bitters, and do not recommend thorn highly enough.” See Highway Robbery Almost, to sell the poisonous, drunken, purging stuff as medicine to honest men, innocent women, and harmless children to weaken and destroy their systems and health, when pure liar'iiless Hop Bitiers can be had that cures always and continually at a trifling cost.
