In the Legislative Council yesterday, the East and West Coast Railway Bill was committed. It is authoritatively denied that in the event of Government resuming the management of the Insurance Association Sir Julius Vogel will be appointed General Manager. The Christchnrch coach arrived this afternoon, at the usual hour. Commander Edwin wired yesterday at 4.51 p.m.—"Bad weather may be expected between north and east and southeast ; glass further fall, and much rain." The teachers belonging to the Grey District Institute met on Friday last at the Greymouth School for the purpose of adopting a code of rules as a basis for all its proceedings. The Argus states that the rules adopted were culled from those in use at Auckland, Christchurch, and Dunedin. The following officers were elected to act for the ensuing 12 months: — President, Mr R. Thornton; secretary, Mr C. Hicks; committee, Messrs Malcolm, and Clements, and Miss Batchelor. The subscription was fixed at 10s per annum for males, and Is per annum for females. All persons interested in educational matters are eligible (as in other other districts) as members of the institute, which will not be confined strictly to the teachers. Meetings will be held quarterly, and it is proposed to nominate at next meeting a delegate to attend the annual conference of teachers. The Greymouth Star says that diphtheria is prevalent in that town. A son of Mr Jones, solicitor, died of the disease a day or two ago. Several nice parcels of gold have been brought in from Earamea. We (Westport Times) learn that from 35 to 40 men are on the ground at the new diggings, and that each man's weekly earning is about half an ounce of gold. Owing to the Loyal Orange Lodge ball taking place on Friday next, the Kumara quadrille assembly will this week meet tomorrow (Thursday) evening, at eight o'clock, instead of Friday. Messrs R. W. Wade and Co. will sell by auction on Friday next, 16th inst., the valuable household furniture and effects belonging to Dr. Davy, who is about to leave Kumara. The time of the sale is altered from that previously advertised : it is to take place at 11 a. m. sharp instead of 1 p.m. A Rattlesnake's Bite.—The quick venom of the rattlesnake has not killed so many people as the more insidious but deadly poisons found in the air of foul rooms. The aeration of the blood by the lungs becomes impossible sometimes, and the failing health, growing weakness, and loss of appetite are harbingers of approaching death. For such cases Hop Bitters are the potent and all-powerful remedy to drive all fevers out of the system, purifying the blood, and giving a new and happy lease of life. Get genuine.
