The Kumara Times. PUBLISHED EVERY EVENING. THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1886.

We have received a long telegram this afternoon from our Wellington parliamentary correspondent, which will appear to-morrow. He says “The long-threat-ened storm has at last burst in all the concentrated fury of party strife.” The Maori, with the Westland portion of the San Francisco mails on board, was to leave Wellington for the Coast at two o’clock this morning. A meeting of miners intending to sluice into the No. 2 sludge-channel will be held :n the Public Hall, Diliman’s Town, this Thursday evening, at eight o’clock, to elect a committee of management, and to consider rules and any other subject connected with the taking over of tire No. 2 channel. The adjourned meeting of the Borough Council takes place this evening, at eight o’clock. Mr Fance Klaus Hassaelaer (the Flying Dutchman) takes a complimentary benefit at the Theatre Royal this evening. This gentleman has been somewhat peculiarly unfortunate of late, since yielding to the advice of his numeous friends, and he accepts this mark of commendation at tueir hands. The object specifically is to enable Mr Hassaelaer to re-commence his business de novo, and by a numerous attendance, to give him a start of a substantial kind. The services «4 those favorite and talented actors, Foley and Berkley, have been secured, their entertainment being one of the best ever seen hero, A grand ball will bo hold after the entertainment. The St. Leons’ Circus at the Recreation Ground was well attended last night. The performances commenced by six horses entering the arena, going through the maucßuvres of a (juadrille, and finishing with the May-pole and ribbon oscillations. A trained horse found a handkerchief covered with earth. The tumbling by several or the members was remarkably good, while the single and double trapeze acts fairly r.urpi-Hod the audience. Little Gus St. Leon, a child four years old, performed some rather difficult tricks cn on*-. <.f the mmies, for which he was loudb. appiaudca. A young lady gave smic smart jugglery business on the back °- r ‘ horse, and the brothers St. Loons’ tumbling on ho; a-bac..; was much admired. r ‘ he .. r a:vmcse Cuzco wdke<’ a slack wire ■’ ' ■’ Wo ..hrm uvo t::'. : r '■ ■ <>' am | T l -""-. 1 O .-■■..i, v, ;</•-. and r.-br s.-ra.

by a new apparatus called the “Beacon Light a great improvement on kerosene lamps. The company left for Greymoutli this morning, not visiting Hokitika this time, and, we understand, will play at Brunnerton, afterwards proceeding to Reefton. Commander Edwin wired at 3.11 p.m. to-day—“ Bad weather may be expected between north and east, and south-east; glass further fall, and heavy rain soon.” The s.s. Koranui, which arrived at Greymoutli yesterday morning, was to leave at 8 this morning for Wellington and Dunedin. She has on board twentysix gold miners bound for Kimberley. They will take steamer for Sydney at Wellington. The Kumara quadrille club will hold their usual weekly assembly at the Adelphi Theatre, to-morrow evening, at eight o’clock. A Wise Deacon.—“ Deacon .Wilder, I want you to tell me how you kept yourself and family so well the past season, when all the rest of us have been sick so much, and have had the doctors running to us so often.” Brother Taylor, the answer is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in time, and kept my family well, and saved large doctor’s bills. Four shillings’ worth of it kept us all well and able °to work all the time, and I will warrant it has cost you and most of your neighbours £lO to £IOO apiece to keep sick all the time. I fancy you will take my medicine hereafter.” See We believe that if everyone would use American Co.’s Hop Bitters freely there would be much less sickness and misery in the world, and people are fast finding this out, whole families keeping well at a trifling cost by its use. We advise all to try it. Read
