A son of Mr M. Wall dislocated his elbow joint by a fall this morning. Dr. M'Brearty was sent for, and was in immediate attendance, and set the fractured limb. At the Resident Magistrate’s Court this morning, before H. Burger, Esq., J.P., Daniel Rainbow was charged with being drunk ; and was convicted and fined £l, and costs 2s, with the alternative of 24 hours imprisonment. ’ The Salvation Army Flying Brigade are holding services, with varied success, every evening. On Monday night they visited Dillman’s ; on Tuesday and Wednesday, services were conducted in the Theatre Royal; and to-night they visit Greenstone. Tenders are required for the erection of a water-wheel on Larrikins Terrace. They will be received up to Monday next, 9th inst., by Messrs Carew and party. Specifications are to be seen at Mr Foldi’s store, Dillman’s Town. Mr Levoi, Superintending Manager of the New Zealand Accident Insurance Company, is now in Kumara, and, with the assistance of the local manager, is furthering the business of the company. It is their intention to open a central office for the West Coast at Hokitika or Greymouth shortly. Mr Levoi takes the opportunity to correct, in a letter which appears elsewhere, an error which occurred in a Hokitika paper a few days ago. Dr. M'Brearty has been appointed Medical Attendant to the company for the Kumara district. The Kumara Quadrille Club will hold their usual Assembly at the Adelphi Theatre to-morrow evening, at eight o’clock. The Union screw-steamer Omapere yesterday went away from Greymouth with 64G tons, besides 30 tons in her bunker—--67G in all, being the largest cargo ever taken out of that port. Mr Frank Peel, a well-known miner, and a very old resident in the Grey Valley, calmly passed away in his sleep yesterday morning in his residence at No Town. The Argus states that deceased had been suffering for some little time back from a severe strain, which was supposed to have injured his heart. Deceased’s mates sat up with him on the night of the 3rd, and as there was no visible change that was indicative of immediate danger they left him asleep and went home. They had also sat up with him on the previous night. One of them called at the house the first thing in the morning, but, receiving no reply to his inquiry, called in Mr Clifford, when they found Peel dead in the bed, with his arms folded across his breast, as if asleep. He was about 54 years of age. Stafford was crowded to-day with Chinamen, who had, many of them, come in from the adjoining districts to be present at the funeral of Ah Fow, who was killed in a sluicing claim at “Pretty Woman’s ” by a heavy slip coming away from the face and completely burying him. When dug out, he was quite dead ; he was horribly crushed. At the inquest on Tuesday, a verdict of “ accidental death ” was returned. The Wellington Post takes Mr Be van to task as follows:—“It was scarcely worthy of Mr Bevan to bring before the House as a matter of privilege a few hot words used at an early hour in the morning in a private conversation and under peculiar circumstances. In fact Mr Bevan seems to have himself been a transgressor of good manners, as he on his own showing interfered in a conversation between two other members, and replied to a remark which he overheard, but which was not addressed to him. Mr Fergus, when the matter was brought up in the House, acted in a frank, manly way, which excited general admiration. Mr Bevan is usually so very good-humoured that, in accepting Mr Fergus’s ample apology, he must have felt some regret that he had brought the matter up publicly at all. Such little differences are better settled outside the House.” Sophia, the well-known guide in the Hot Lakes district, petitions Parliament for relief, having lost in the late eruption everything she possessed. The Hon. Dr. Pullen has been trying to get three years’ arrears of pension amounting to £I2GO, which ho alleges to be duo to him. The claim was referred to the Public Petitions Committee, which has determined that it should not be recognised. The New Zealand Telephone Exchange is stated by the head of the Department to be yielding a net revenue of £sOll, being .£33-Is 2d per cent, on the capital cost, certainly a most valuable investment of the colonial funds. Dr Lemon, however, is n careful man, and bo. does not i.ltb'.s too han.ljon.-! a profit, seeing lisa! some day improwinents might have to bo in vodoo:;'!, I In is in voh i. i ■ > inci eaaoil si-y ;Se -‘.labia, dining ins career on iao turf, has won in slakes £7435, the produce of

ten firsts, five seconds, and one third. The largest single stake ho is credited with was the Adelaide Onp, of 2000sovs, in 1884. The New Zealand-bred Aglaos continues to improve in his training at Flemington, and is doing good work in company with old Commotion. Sheet Anchor (the winner of the last Melbourne Cup) figured as one of the starters for the Y.R.C. Grand National Hurdle Race at Flemington on Saturday, July 17th, when he finished third. Messrs H. Goulston and Co. beg to draw the attention of the public to the sales by Dutch auction of the balance of their stock of drapery and clothing, on Friday and Saturday nights, commencing at 7 o’clock sharp. This being a positive unreserved sale, customers will be able to get goods regardless of cost.—[Advt.J Good Resolutions.—At the commencement of every new year hundreds and thousands of our young men—and old as well—form resolutions for their guidance for the coming year. Many keep them, while others break them. To such we wish to give a word of advice. In order to sustain your determination of leading a better life in the future you should use Hop Bitters. The judicious use of Hop Bitters strengthens, cleanses, and purifies the stomach, bowels, blood, liver, nerves, and kidneys, and is just what you want to build up and invigorate yourself.—Greenbush, U.S.A., Dem.
