We are requested to notify to t-Tie members of the Piihherston Literary Club that moat important business will be transacted to-morrovr erening. A. full attendance is expected. Th f e Criminal Sessions nt Wanganui were commenced on Monday, before his Honor the Chief Justice. William Rii Rose, better known m this district as "Dr. Rose," pleaded guilty to six charges of forgery, and was reminded for sentence. In the case against Clara Manton, for larceny as a bailee,, tbe Grand Jury threw out ik» bill,

and the accused was discharged. Since the above was m type we learn that Rose has received, two years' imprisonment. We notice by Thursday's Gazette that Hugh Kennedy Maclachlan, M.D., of Palmerston, has been appointed public vacoinator for the district. The letter of " Freeman," which appears iv another column, has" been m type fop some time, and we have since been assured by the writer that when it was penned ho had not the slightest knowledge of Sir George Grey's Agency schema lately exposed. Theletter was written about what might oomo to pa3s, its author little knowing that his suspicions were already realised. The unfortunate man Peter Mikkle9en, who it was supposed tried to commit suicide by throwing himself m" front of the train, after lying m the Feilding lock-up for over a week, was transferred to Wanganui, brought up before the R.M. and committed for trial. We have been informed on good authority that the poor fellow is naw completely deranged, and there ia little doubt that the position m which he found himself, together with ill healt h, has had a great deal to do with his loss of reason. One of the principal reasons why Pulmerston is without a resident clergyman of the Church of England is there being no provision made by way of a paMonago. The members of the congregation are determined that that excuse shall no longer exist, and with that resolution are about to inaugurate a Gift Auction, the proceeds from whioh will be devoted to a residence for the clergyman. Persons, therefore, de3irou9 of giving presents of any nature whatever will kindly forward them to Mesdamea Snelson, Keeling-, Akers, or Waldegrare. It will be seen by advertisement elsewhere that on next Monday night Hayes and Benhamos 1 Monster Circusi will be shown m Pahnerston, on ground specially selected for them, close "to the Priniess Hotel. The Company includes four clowns m addition to Mdlle Do Granville the Woman with tho Iron Jaw. The Troupe while m Dunedin, Canterbury, and Wellington drew crowded houses every night, and has been spoken of m the highest terms by the Press throughout the Colony. Mr. Levoi, the courteous and indefatigable leaTes for Feilding thia morning to mike arragements for an exhibition there* We understand that the Match Committee of the Palmerston Cricket Ciub havemade arrangements for a contest with the Marlon Club, to take place on the dthof November. A meeting of the committee of the former Club is called for to-morrovf evening, when, as the business is important, it is to b^ hoped fever? member will be. m attendance. The- Mission inaugurated on Sunday has been carried on by Father Henneberry with great vigor, the rev. gentleman preaching morning and evening. On Monday evening he gave an eloquent and lucid explanation of the supplication made by Catholics to saints, showing that to God alone ! wa3 Divtne worship given, the assistance of intercession only being sought from His . saints. The lecture which was to. be given to the married people was not delivered, on account of the few married persons who were m attendance, and the preacher spok& , m strong terms of the culpable neglect of those who refused to avail themselves of the blessings hold out to them. Last ni*ht the subject chosen was " Prayer," and as. tho Mission will close to-morrow with the ad- , ministration of the Sacrament of Con&rma- ', . tion, it is more than possible Father Henneberry will this erening^ deliver his eloquent address upon drunkenness. As it. v a masterpiece of fervid eloquence,, delivered ; with a soul-stirring -influence calculated to I sway the- most stoical, all should be present upon the occasion. HOILOWAY'B OINTSfBNT ANIX PIIJ.S. — Before the discovery of these remedies many case of sores, ulcer 3, &c, were pronounced to be hopelessly incurable, because the treatment pursued tended to destroy the strength it was incompetent to preserve, and to exasperate tho symptoms it was inadequate- to remove. Hblloway's Pills exert the most wholesome powers over the unhealthy flesh or skin, without dehamring the patient from fresh air and exercise, and thus the constitutional vigour is husbanded while the moat malignant ulcers, abscesses, and skin diseases arc m process of cure. Both Ointment and Pill malco the blood richer purer, instead of permitting it to fall into that poor and watery state so fatal, to many labouring under chronic ulce rations.
