Major Webb, District Adjutant, Major Suiiar, and Lieut. Spenee were passengers by the tram this morning from Grey-

mouth, where an inspection was held yesterday of the Grey Rifles and Navals. To-night, at eight o'clock, at the Adelphi Hall, Major Webb will inspect the Kumara Rifles. Major Bonar and Lieut. Spence will also be present. It is expected there will be a large muster of Volunteers.

We regret to learn that Mr Felix Fearon, of Maori Point, is in very ill health, and has been removed to Mr W. Whitton's, Greenstone. There will be an ordinary and two special meetings of the Borough Council this evening.

In noticing the proceedings of the County Council yesterday, and more particularly the County Chairman's motion "That a congratulatory telegram be forwarded to the Hon. W. E. Gladstone, thanking him for his constant efforts in the cause of liberty, and for his exertions in promoting legislation for the people by the people themselves, not only in Great Britain, but in various European States," and Mr Seddon's amendment thereon, the West Coast Times remarks : "The meeting of the County Council yesterday was amusing if not instructive. The relations between the Chairman and Councillor Seddon seemed somewhat strained over the notices of motion. After an animated discussion, in the course of which the Chairman left his seat, and Councillor Seddon refused to sit down, peace and harmony were restored, and things went smoothly. The truce was, however, of short duration. A running fire was carried on between Councillor Seddon and various members, which culminated in explosions over the vote of thanks to the Ministry and the congratulatory telegram to Mr Gladstone. This latter produced a conflagration, members rising to points of order every few minutes, whilst British politics in general, and the Irish question in particular, were ventilated in an entirely novel and startling manner. Yesterday's proceedings might attract many who appreciate the ludicrous aspect of things, but it certainly did not tend to raise the tone nor add to the dignity of the Council ; in fact, few things could lower it more."

Mr Matthew Burnett, temperance lecturer, concluded a highly successful tour of the Reefton district on Thursday last. He lectured at the Lyell on the following Friday evening, and left on Saturday morning for Westport, where, in the evening, he opened his mission at the Theatre Royal. At the conclusion of the lecture 63 persons took the pledge and donned the blue, making a grand total on the Coast of 2590, and 2790 who have donned the blue.

The handy little Anchor Line steamer Murray (the Argus reports) met with an accident on Friday afternoon while on her way to that port from Hokitika, and only a short distance from the entrance to that port. It appears that something went wrong with her cylinder, and she was unable to make any progress. She signalled the difficulty she was in, and in a very short time the Westlatid went out and picked her up and had her alongside the wharf by about three o'clock. On examination it was found that the damage was more serious than was anticipated, and next night she was taken in tow by the s.s. Maori for Nelson.

The Knmara quadrille club will hold their usual weekly assembly at the Adelphi Theatre, to-morrow evening, at eight o'clock.

Poverty and Suffering. dragged down with debt, poverty, and suffering for years, caused by a sick family and large bills for doctoring, which did them no good. I was completely discouraged, until one year ago, by the advice of my pastor, I procured Hop Bitters, and commenced their use, and in one month we were all well, and none of us have seen a sick day since ; and I want to say to all poor men, you can keep your families well a year with American Co's Hop Bitters for less than one doctor's visit will cost. I know it."—A Working Man. Read
