A Grand Fancy Bazaar with Christmas Tree and a variety of other attractions as advertised to take place in Ewart’s Hall, on Tuesday and Wednesday the 14th and 15th inst., in aid of the funds of the new Wesleyan Church, now in course of construction in High Street. A number of ladies and other friends are interesting themselves in the affair, and contributions are invited from the public who will no doubt respond liberally. The new church, as we have stated in previous issue will be a very handsome and commodious building —quite an ornament to the town —and those who contribute to the success of this fancy fair will have the satisfaction of knowing that they are aiding a good cause. Mr Ewart lias kindly granted the use of the hall on this occasion. Tlie share list of the Caswell Sound Marble Company will close on the 15th inst, and intending investors of whom we understand there are several in the locality should send in their applications by that date. According to prospectus the undertaking promises to be one of the most lucrative that lias even been launched on the commercial world. In reference to this Company the A. Z. Time* says:—The Caswell Sound, Marble Portland Cement, and Mining Company, Limited, is finding favor throughout the colony. We hear that applications for shares are numerous in every place where agents have been appointed, and there is every probability that by the time the list closes, on the 15th instant all the shares will be subscribed for. In our last issue we called attention to a portrait of his Worship the Mayor of Blenheim, taken from a photograph, by a Chinese Artist ns showing the great skill and imitative talent possessed by natives of the Fowery Land. The next day we were shown a wooden model of a Man of War bv Ah Gee of Maxwell Road, which for fidelity and excellence in execution cannot well be surpassed. Every detail appears to be perfect and the manner in which the sails are represented, are filled out as the vessel vans easily before the wind is remarkable

Wcli done. The ship is supposed to be entering the Wellington heads with the pilot house in the distance, and a number of smaller crafts are seen making for the dort or leaving it, one carries tlic house flag of the steamer “ Napier ” and tiiay be taken to represent that vessel. The model is placed on a stand measuring 4 feet by 2 feet, and in proportions are as accurate as possible throughout. Mr Ah Gee informs us that lie intends to exhibit this work of art, and it is a master piece of skill and industry, at the fancy bazaar about to be held at Ewart’s Hall, and will afterwards dispose of it by art union. A meeting of the Committee of the Literary Institute will be held at half-past seven o’clock this evening preparatory to the annual general meeting. A full attendance of the Committee is requested. Mr A. Mason, baker, Grove Road, notifies that he has sold all accounts due to him to Mr Stenliouse. The latter’s promptitude is well known, and all persons indebted to Mr Mason will do well to pay up at their earliest convenience to avoid legal expenses.

Professor Haselmayer, the well known Illusionist, who is now on a second tour through the Colony, will shortly visit Marlborough, and will give entertainments at Blenheim and Picton, and should sufficient inducement offer will probably go to Havelock. The Professor, who will be assisted by Madame Haselmayer, comes hero with an excellent reputation of being a very clever conjuror well able to please and interest an audience. Since lie was here last he has introduced into his entertainments a variety of novelties. Wherever he lias been lately lie seems to have drawn largh and appreciative audiences, and we have no doubt he will be well received on his appearance in Marlborough. The Professor appeared recently before a Melbourne audience at which the Governor was present. and received from his Excellency a most flattering testimonial as to the excellence of the performance and the “ wonderful dexterity and sleight of hand displayed in the tricks which ho considers superior to anything of the kind ho has ever seen.”

Jfollutcai/'s Ointment and Pill*. —Sure Relief. —The weak and enervated suffer severely from nervous affections when storms or electric disturbances agitate the atmosphere. Neuralgia, gouty pangs, and flying pains, very distressing 1o a delicate system, may he readily removed by rubbing this Ointment upon the affected part after it has been fomented with warm water. The Pills taken occasionally in the doses prescribed by the instructions keep the digestion in order, excite a free flow of healthy bile, and regenerate the impoverished blood with richer materials, resulting from thoroughly assimilated food, wanting which the strongest must inevitably soon sink into feebleness, and the delicate find it difficult to maintain existence. Holloway’s Ointment and Pills arc infallible remedies.
