Good Tkmplabb. — Members of the Order will colic* t^at the election of officers of the Loyal Nelson Lodge, No. 61, for the ensuing quarter will be held this evening. At the Loyal Marine Lodge last night, nine candidates were initiated, and seven proposed. The Aihambra arrived at Hokitika this morning, but a portion only of her telegrams has reached us, aad that just as we were going to press.
