The Nelson Evening Mail. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1873.

"We have just reived telegram that the Nebraska arrived in Auckland this morning with the English mail. Murray's Circus. — There was a fine attendance at the circus again on Saturday night when a capital performance was given which gave the fullest satisfaction to all present. The troupe has been engaged by the Foresters, and will perform at intervals throughout the day in the Botanical Gardens. The Anniversary Holiday. — The weather, which yesterday looked very threatening and seemed to promise a holiday such as those which occurred regularly as the day came round some three or four years ago cleared last night, and a beautifal day appears to be in store for all who intend to spend it in the open air. Liberal bills of fare have been provided for the public by both Oddfellows and Foresters, and the Maitai Valley and Botanical Gardens hold ont attractions that will doubtless draw numbers of visitors to both of the scenes of festivity. In the evening those wbo are fond of dancing will find ample employment at either the Oddfellows' or Volunteer Hall. Haven Road School. — A very handsomely bound edition of Shakespeare's works was on Friday presented to Mr John A. Burn by the pupils of this school. •Accompanying the book was the following kindly letter : — " Sir — We* the undersigned pupils of the Haven Eoad School beg you to accept this small present as a token of our respect and esteem. Many of us have been under your care, and we take this opportunity of thankiDg you for your uniform kindness to us, and hope, wherever you go, you may be prosperous and happy." — Signed by thirty-three of the scholars. There is some probability of Melbourne being honored by a visit from a no less distinguished personage than Lord Carnavon, who, being an ex- Secretary of State, is anxious to be well up in the colonial question. He has bought a yacht, joined the Royal Yacht Squadron, and will probably leave England at the end of the next London season. A Chinese sub-contractor, employed by Messrs Brogden and Co. at Tokomairiro, is in difficulties. He induced a number of his countrymen to work on the railway, and received payment for what they had done, but forgot to remunerate his Celestial navvies. They intend to sue him in the local court. An Impotrant sale of rams takes place at Havelcok, near Napier, Hawke's Bay, in February, when 1000 rams will be offered for public competition. They will consist of Lincolns and Leicesters, from flocks wbich are already well known in the colony. At Winton on Sunday the sth inst., a boy named Debereux, aged 12 years, was attacked by a bull, which tossed him into a creek. All the lad remembers of the occurrence was that he crawled up the bank, and must have fallen into a semiconscious condition, as he recollected nothing from that time till his recovery by his parents, which took place on the following Thursday afternoon the 9th. Beyond a few bruises and the exhaustion consequent pn his long fasting and exposure, he is not' thought to have sustained any injury.
