Tenders for the ereotion of a house for Mr Thomas Bowe are invited. Tenders must be in by the sth of Angust. The Messrs Symons have concluded the purchase of Messrs Williams «fe Co.'s hemp mill, and start work at it to day. We trust better fortune will attend them to that the last proprietors experienced. On our third page will be seen the prospeotus of the West Coast Farmer's Cooperative Association, Limited. We shall take an early opportunity of reviewing the proposa's made therein It will be at once noticed, however, that tin Association has gained the support of a very large number of well known settlers residing on thiß coast. , . Messrs Pascal Brothers invite tenders for cutting and delivering green flax for their Oroua Bridge mill. Tenders close next Saturday evening. The man Smith, who went to Wellington for an operation to be performed on his jaw, is, w* regret to say, not doing we'l. He, a few days "go.'had his jaw prised open but it almost immediately closed again. Yesterday another operation was attempted and seven of his teeth extracted, but the bad news has oome that this too has been unsuccessful, and the jaw has closed as before. " We hope our authorities will yisit Mrs Smith and grant, her such assistance as she is likely to require, as unfortunately she is not too well off. We learn that the Dramatic Cub. have at last fixed the date of their performance, which is set down for the 18th of August. The pieoe would have been . staged much soone' than thi?, but vnfo'.tunately one of the ladies Lund she was unable to take her part, and o^nsiderabln delay' was caused in finding a" suitab'e substitute. This diftV cu'ty has now been surmounted, and the latest rehearsals have been of a most satisfactory nature. It is alleged that the facts regarding the mutiny among the Coldstream Guards has been muoh exaggerated. The Auckland City Council, after hearing a deputation from the . Ministers' Association, carried a resolution by ten to eight that the Art Gallery be opened on Sundays. The Palmerston Standard in endeavouring to stand by its friends, 'inserted a leader on 'the Fraser v Imrie case containing the following strong statements:— " Mr Morrison, counsel for the plaintiff, was al' owed to use such choice language as, " Ton are telling me' a lie, sir," over and over again, and 'o sneer and ohuckle, and audibly comment on the witness's statements in a manner the reverse of-edi-fying. And to make, matters worse, his Honor treated the witness as a criminal of, the deepest dye, instead of a man who was straightforward'y and honestly exposing himself to prevent innooent people suffering for his fau't " We have been informed upon the best authority that Mr Morrison never behaved in the manner indicated, and that such misrepresentrtions will be objected to. We are glad to notice that our contemporary the Mercury is getting sick of the Government's fooling with the landowners. 1 In a leader on the proposed a'teration in the Counties Bill it says ;— " But to totally ignore the rights of property by putting all coun'y elections upon the same footing is beyond all reason. It is said — with what truth we know not — that the Government are afraid of Sir George Grey, and are anxious to do everything in their power to plea«e and propitiate him into according them a consistent support ; but if such a clause as we have hinted at is contained in the new Counties BUI, we trust the house will promptly out it out. If th ; ngs go on as. they are going on now in the colony, or as some people would have them go, on, it would soon be considered a crime to own any property at all.' 1 The Star is answerab'e for the 'following: — There are funny, thin s told about yard sheep in this district. One mob known as 'a mixed lot " has been so often " gone through " and •' mouthed " that whenever they are put into a pen hey begin to sort themselves into groups, consisting of two-tooth, four-too h, six-tooth and crawlers. A veracious anecdotist said that when he was looking at them, the other day he saw the four toothed ones butting and shoving a rather good looking member o t, when the latter quietly opened its lips and showed that the jaw was now ornamented with four teeth. The candidate was duly admitted. ' - To the order of Mr Hector Booth, of Makino Road, Mr J. D. Valentine, builder and architect, has just oompletod a neat and commodious private residence, says the Star. There are large sitting and bedrooms, with a kitchen 17ft Gin by 13ft 6in, with a five feet wide passage. There is also a five feet wide verandah in front of the house. Mr James Fraser did' the p.urab ng work, and it is almost needless to say the whole job is finished in a woik manlike manner an I to the entire satisfaction of Mr Booth. Two thousand armed miners compelled the convicts working at Tennessee . and Enoxville coa' and iron mines to withdraw from the district, notwithstanding that they were guarded- by 100 militia men. The Government of Tennessee has summoned the entire State militia,, with artillery and Gatling guns, for the purpose of maintaining law and order. Messrs J. G. Wilson (M.H.R.). Pratt, and Bell, waited for the Minister of Lands on Wednesday, says the Post, to. ask that the Fitzherben Road Bdard shdull not be called upon to contribute to the mainteiance of the Man*w atu Gorge Road; seping that the Manchester. Road Board refuses to bear its share. The Minister promised to consider the matter.
