The cause ef the delay m the arrival j of the train last night, was the late h«ur , njt which Wanganui was left, through having to wait for the train from the North, which was behind tiino on account of a very heavy Joad of sheep m ! vans, The latter having to be detached and taken up the steep ascents near Makoia three or four at a time. Why not have run a special train with the sheep, instead of delaying trains like this? • Mr Bentley has now a really inagnifi cent display m Marlborough Hotiso, the windows being dressed, .and the goods arranged with a moit pleasing effect. We doubt if there has previously been a more tastefully set out show of goods m this town, and our verdict of admiration will be endorsed by all Wlto have paused to inspect the displty which now makes Marlborough House sucli a potent source of attraction, especially for the fair sex. v . In our notice of the Fire Briar ade entertainment m last n'ght'd isane, we m advertent It' omitted making mention of the excellent acting of the lady amateur who took the part of Mrs Slogs m the second part, and whese exceptional ability was displayed to advantage on several occasions during the performance. It ia seldom indeed that lady amateurs so thoroughly ent>T into the spirit of th<-ir part, and *v o free from nervous aelf conßcioiiHtiess, which often detracts from au otherwise faultless performance.
