Rather a mean and contemptible burglary took place at Taikatuna some time between Friday and Monday of last week. The local school-teacher (Mr Campbell) had his house hilly furnished before the Friday, on which dav he left for South to take unto himself a bride.

The Athletic concert on the gth of November should be doubly effective, as the “ Snmbeams” intend to convert the stage til the first part into an up-to-date furnished drawing room, and thus drop the nigger-faced circle, duly the corner men being “got up” for the occasion. The change will allow the full strength of (he company to appear to the view of the audience. The opening chorus selected is one of the old minis’rel collection, while the set of solos chosen all carry with them rollicking choru-es, and are far above anything previonslv listened to in hoxton. In all probability, the coon circle will be adopted at Levin and Shannon next month.

On Thursday afternoon last in the vicinity ot the Lady's Mile, the casual observer was treated to a sight which bespoke the true force ol the equinoxial gale blowing at the time. It was our local baker’s vehicle which caused the amusement, horse and conveyance being completely overturned. After a tierce struggle (during which loaves of bread were scattered broadcast by the dozta), the animal managed to extri* cate itself from the harness, and eventually reached home little the worse lor the mishap. The local saddler and wheelwright are none the worse off for the occurrence, and both have been kept busy ever since repairing damaged gear. Truly, it’s an ill wind that blows no good !

Evidently humour and hoaeity are not yet defunct virtues (says the Christchurch Press). A few days ago a young lady dropped a threepenny piece in Cathedral Square, and gave the matter no further thought till she received the following unconvential letter from some one who witnessed the little tragedy and became a participant in it: —'• Cathedral Square, three minutes past two p.m., close to Post Office, Monday, 11th September. Found and forwarded (the threepenny piece is here stuck on the paper). Miss , since when lias money become so plentiful that you can afford to cast it away at pleasure ?

There are eighty-five Japanese hotels in San Francisco, sixty restaurants, sixteen intelligence offices, nine shooting galleries, eleven bathing establishments, eleven billard-rooms, and seventy-five house-cleaning offices. These are all licensed, and there is a large number of unlicensed cobblers, butchers, janitors, porters and domestic servants.

Chinatown will soon have a big morning newspaper that will give its Celestial readers all the news of the world. Type and other appliances are being irnnorted from China. Rich merchants of the quarter are backing the enterprise, but the active heads of the
