The Kumara Times. Published Every Evening. SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1886.

The Cogill Bros.' American Minstrels have arrived in Kinnara, and to-night, at the Theatre Iloyal, will give their sole performance in this town. These Minstrels are very flatteringly spoken of by our contemporary journals. The programme is a very full and varied one, and should afford a most agreeable aud amusing evening's entertainment, as we doubt not it will. The absence for so long a time of any diversion of this character .should be a guarantee to the spirited managers, Messrs J. S. Smith and Co. (who brought the Called Hack Company :.o the Coast) that a crowded audience will testify to their endeavours to provide genuine fun and amusement. The bad weather has broken up, and there is every probability of a beautiful night for those who may have to come from a distance. The Minstrel enterl;..ii.;vu:nt, which is divided into two parts, will be followed by the laughable farce of " The Mystery." The Christchurch coach arrived this afternoon at the usual hour, bringintr ".'l'vliMi ai d Au,t--;,'ifLn nails \. the s.s. "V.-;-;•; >;;;;■'' ■!■> (1 ,- "Hl-'V .

The mails were so large, we learn, that a special coach had to be put on to bring over a portion of the mails, which are expected to arrive here at eleven o'clock to-night. Commander Edwin wired at 1.50 p.m. to. day : —" Bad weather may be expected between south-east and south-west; glass rise soon. Indications bad." We (Auckland Herald) understand that Mrs Hazard is now recovering from the injuries she received while entombed in the falling debris of her residence, Wairoa, at the time of the Tarawera eruption. Some of the bones of one of her hands were broken, and have had to be removed. It is doubtful whether she will ever recover the free use of her limbs, as heretofore, owing to the circulation of the blood having been stopped for some time. No doubt the Government will in due time take into consideration the unparalleled misfortunes which have befallen her, her husband at the time of meeting his death being in the service of the Government. A Mr Northcroft is mentioned by a Wellington correspondent as being the probable successor to the late Warden Kenrick, at the Thames. Mr L. Seebeck being appointed agent here for a Home Jewellery Factory has now on view a very fine selection of the most modern designs of Jewellery, at low prices.—[Advt.J H. Goulston and Co.'s clearing sale is still going on and greater bargains than ever are given away. We would advise the public if they want to buy cheap goods to give H. Goulston and Co. a call.— [Advt.] Good Resolutions.—At the commencement of every new year hundreds and thousands of ouv 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. Read. The Tidy Housewife.—The careful, tidy housewife, when giving her house its spring cleaning, should bear in mind that the dear inmates are more precious than houses, their systems need cleansing, by purifying the blood, regulating the stomach and bowels, and she should know that there is nothing that will do it so surely as American Co.'s Hop Bitters, the purest and best of all medicines.
