As a wind-up to the running of the, Nelson and B'oxhill coach, Mr Holder has invited a number of his friends to accompany him to-morrow on the last trip to town, when he will drive eight horses, arriving here about 11 a.m. We are requested to remind those who intend signing the address to Mr Holder that copies of it are lying at Mr H.

Me "WY Gibbs, of Motupiko, who has been much troubled of late concerns ing the state of a well in the school ground in that district, writes to inform us that a resolution has been carried by the Local Committee to the effect that the well should be boxed with red pine at a cost of £3.* His Honor the Superintendent, who is now in "Wellington, telegraphed to Capt. Pitt last night, re the Easter Encamp ment, to the effect that the Defence Minister regrets that he has no funds for the purpose, and cannot comply with the request of the memorialists. It is proposed now, we understand, to hold a review of all the various corps at Wakefield on Easter Monday. The Hon. Major Richmond, C.8., has consented to act as Eeviewiug Officer. Everett's Hibernicon in its first appearance last night was exceedingly well received, and promises to prove one of the most attractive entertainments that have visited Nelson for some time It is excellent in its arrangement, combining, as it does, a panorama of some of the most picturesque scenery in Ireland with the witty sayings of the natives of the Emerald Isle, upon whom devolves the task of explaining the various scenes, and right well do they perform it, thus doing away with the • supposed necessity for that abomination "the lecturer/between whom anda panorama there has hitherto always appeared to be an inseparable connection. The manner in which'it is managed is by no means intricate or difficult. Mr Peabody Doolifctle (Mr Charles Holloway), accompanied by his sister (Miss de Vere), and attended by a black servant (Mr Charles Wallace) starts off on a pleasant trip through the most romantic parts of Ireland, and- in the course of their travels pick up Barney the guide j (Mr O'Neill) and a pretty Irish peasant girl named Mollie (Miss A. Stprieham.) The fun when Barney and Cuffee, the black servant, both of whom are full of drollery and comicalities of every description, meet,. may be easily imagined. Mollie, too, has a strong sense of humor, and adds much to the fun of the entertainment, and still more to its enjoyment .by singing some very pretty ballads. Mr Coghlan tickles the ears of those who are fond of such music with a little bagpipe playing, and Mr Luscombe Searelle, who is one of the most accomplished piano players we have heard delights his audiences with his performances on that instrument. The entertainment on the whole is well worth a visit. The Company will appear every evening until further notice, and a performance for schools and families will be given to-morrow afternoon at 2-30.
