Dr. M'Brearty, of Otago, was last night elected surgeon-superintendent to the Kumara Hospital, and he has this afternoon telegraphed his acceptance of the appointment. Particulars of the election are given elsewhere.

The Christchurch coach arrived early this afternoon, Mr Cassidy being the driver. He had the pleasure of driving the coach to-day over the Taipo bridge for the first time.

The Wellington correspondent of ahe Grey River Argus reports that the following cablegram was sent to the Hon. W. E. Gladstone on Friday evening last:— "Gladstone, London.—Our sympathies are with you.—Grey, Stout, O'Rourke, Atkinson, Ballance, Tole, Larnach, Montgomery, Macandrew, Mitchelson, Moss, Cadman, Dargaville, Locke, Thompson, Samuel, Bruce, Fisher, Wilson, O'Conor, Dodson, Levestam, Holmes, Ivess, Rees, Stuart, Taylor, Turnbull, Guinness, Barron, Brown, Duncan, Hislop, Joyce, Pyke, J. M'Kenzie, Ross, Hakuene, Smith, To Ao, and Pratt, M.H.Rs. ; and Bathgate, Buckley, Reeves, Dignan, and Wilson, M.L.Cs.

The Government Gazette of Thursday last contains the following notices of local interest, though some of them have already appeared .-—Charles Arthur Barton to be clerk of the Resident Magistrate's Court and principal clerk of the Warden's Court at Ross, and clerk of the Licensing Committee for the district of Ross, vice W. Blane, deceased ; Frederick Henry Ibbetson to be clerk of the Resident Magistrate's Court and principal clerk of the Warden's Court ;it No Town, vice C. A. Barton, transferred ; William Alfred Barton to be clerk of the Resident Magistrate's Court and principal clerk of the Warden's Coiu-t at Duuganville, vice C. A. Barton, transferred. The Brunnerton correspondent of the Argus sent the following item last evening :—" An accident happened here shortly after four o'clock to a man named Charles O'Donnell. He was engaged carting gravel to the Wallsend mine, and was standing on the shaft of the dray so as to be the better able to see where he was going (as they had to cross the rails two or three times), when the wheel slid along the rail, jerking him off the shafts. It appears that the wheel went over his

leg, taking the calf first. It is not known whether his leg is broken or not. He was immediately taken to his residence. He was suffering very great pain." Mrs Wooldridge, who resides at the Break, Dillman's Town road, notifies that she is now prepared to give advanced and rudimentary lessons in pianoforte music. She has a large stock of music by the most eminent composers. Mrs Wooldridge is also prepared to give lessons in French, either by the formation of a class of pupils, or privateiy. Fresh tenders are invited by the Westland County Council for widening section 2, Greenstone road, and for construction of Mapourika Forks Teal Duck Creek track. Tenders close on Tuesday, July 13, at sp. m. Specifictions can be seen as advertised.

Thomas O'Longhlin, well-known as a pedestrian in this district, has been distinguishing himself fh New South Wales. Some months ago (says the Argus), when he thought his leg was sufficiently recovered from the accident to it for which Dr. Morice treated him at the Grey River Hospital, he went to Sydney. Since arriving there he has won five first prizes. He is now in training, under the care of Messrs Thomas and Burton, to run a pedestrian named Campbell a quarter of a mile for £SO. Campbell will most likely turn out to be his old antagonist Hunt, whom O'Longhlin defeated on the racecourse, for "Hunt" was only a sporting name assumed for the occasion. It appears that O'Loughlin has been reduced considerably in weight since making his debut amongst the "cornstalks," but he is said to make faster time than ever he did before. If that be so, he is likely to be able to hold his own with his former antagonist. The injury to his leg appears not to have interfered with his running powers.

Lovely Climes. There are lovely climes and places in which the evening zephyrs are loaded with malaria and the poison of fever and epidemics. To dwell there in health is impossible without a supply of Hop Bitters at hand. These American Co.'s Bitters impart an equalizing strength to the system, and prevent the accumulation of deadly spores of contagion. Be sure and see
