The Nelson Evening Mail. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1876.

As will be seen by osr report of the proceedings at last night's City Council, a letter s'gned by the whol« of the Councillors was presented to Mr Everett, asking him to allow himself to be re-nominated as Mayor for th« ensuing year. .Mr Everett would not at the time give a decided answer, but has since then, we are glad to say, aoaaded to tho unanimous request of the Council. We presume, therefore, that thero will ba no opposition, as, after the highly creditable manner in which he has conducted the business of the Council, it would be an act of follT to attempt to put another in hie place. Mr Everett must have devoted no small amount of time and attention to the various Acti wit!) which he has to deal, for he is always ready at a moment's notice to afford any information upon their provisions, as must have been observed by all who have been in the habit of attending the sittings of the Council. The office of Mayor being ah unpaid one involving a considerable amount of trouble and aniiety, Mr Erertti is mil deserving, of the thanks of his fellow-citizens for the service* he has already rendered in that capacity, and for having consented to undertake them for an additional period of twelve months. The "Mirror of England" panorama, which is one of the moat beautiful exhibitions of the kind that has ever visited New Zealand left Auckland in the Taupo yesterday, and will arrive here to-morrow morning. It will be opened at the Provincial Hall on Tuesday evening, and, illustrative as it is of so many well-known scenos in the home country, should attract a larjje audience. In connection with the performance Mr and Mrs George Cotterell will appear, the former in his most amusing characters, and the latter singing some of her most popular songs. The entertainment on tha whole will be well worthy of a visit. A sale of work and tea pattj in connection with St. Thomas' Churcn are to be held by our Motueka friends on Thursday next, when one of those pleasant reunions for which the residents in that locality are so celebrated may be safely calculated upon. The Barkly is to make a special trip for the occasion, leaving Nelson at 7 a.m., and Motueka on the return trip at 7 p.m. iN the absence of the Rev P. Calder, who is • attending the Presbyterian General Assembly at Auckland, bis pulpit will tomorrow evening be occupied by Dr Irvine, who will deliver a lecture, which, in such able hands, cannot fail to be interesting, on the relations between religion and science. When the storm cloud threatens, mariners hasten to close-reef the sails of the ship. Those who are admonished of approaching danger by the preliminary symptoms of disease may well profit by the example of the sailor and- take measures to avert it. Bodily weakness and trifling irregularities in the discharge of the physical functions are the forerunners of disease.
