We find that tele» nip liie. commimio.W.it.n is tntcrrupu-'d with ail Use stations except Havelock.

We have to acknowledge tbe receipt of communications from the Conductor of the Nelson Harmouic Society, from the Lieutenant of the iNelson Fire-brigade, and from Mr J. Bray, in connection with the late hospita! case, for which we are unable to fiud space in our present issue. The following is a list of the judges at the Show of the Agricultural Association on Friday last, unavoidably omitted in our issue of Saturday : — ulass A, Messrs H. Stafford, Robinsou and H. Redwood ; Class B, Messrs Stratford, Doidge and Richard Green ; Class C, Messrs \V. Bell and T. Tasker ; Class D, Messrs J. Bartlett and E. Wastney ; Class E, Messrs K. F. dones and Li. Burn ; Class F, Messrs W. Harkness, S. E. Gapper nnd W. G. Bed ; Class G, Messrs W. Hale. J. Bird and Li. Eden ; Class tl, Messrs J. G. Miles aud M. M. Webster. A meeiiir_' of the Motueka Total Abstinence and Bund of Hope Societies took place on Thursday evening lust, at theold S'-ho* il-hou.se, Motu-'ka, when Mr T. F. Shut*', lately from Taranaki, and en route for Wellington, delivered au impressive at.i-1 instructive address to n respectable audience, computed ol young and old of both s-'xes, and the evcuing was spent very agreeably. Mr Shute also delivered a farewell address to his frieids in the W.'sleyau Church, Motueka, on Friday evening, which was also numerously attended. We notice a wrought-iron ' breast summer,' or main beam, executed by Messrs Braithwaite and Morton, for the new building now iv process of election for Messrs Black, Campbell, and Black, in Trafalgar-street. We understand that this is the. first piece of forge work of this magnitude which has beeu made in this colony, its length being 32 teet by 15 x 14 inches, and its weight i ton 10 cwt. The lorg iug of such a Jarge mass of iron work in this colony naturally suggests the applicability of similar appliances as girders for bridges aud buildings, by which the delay and expense through sending to England for this description of work, may be entirely avoided.
