The Nelson Evening Mail. TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1877.

Ten ounces of gold were brought down from the Tadmor to-day by a man who has been at work there for several days. He gives a very good account of the future prospects of the field, and reports that a number of those now at work are doing remarkably well. We understand that the Rev D. Dolamore has resigned the pastorate of the Bridgestreet Baptist Church, and will be leaving Nelson in the course of a few weeks. The Lydia Howarde Troupe are to be congratulated on the success of their last night's entertainment, which, had it been the first in which they made their appearance in Nelson, would, we feel sure, have bad the effect of securing to them far larger audiences than they have hitherto been favored with. Couimeuciug with a spirited scene from the comic opera "Giroile Girofla," in which the principal female characters were most creditably sustained by Miss Howarrte and Millie Navaro, the following portions were the Miserere scene from II Trovatore, "Leonora" being charmingly impersonated by Mdlle Navaro, the Mad Scene from " Lucia," remarkably well acted and sung by Miss Howarde, and the Quarrel Scene from La Fille de Madame Angol, in which both ladies took part, and succeeded in carrying their audience with them through the various phases of excitement through which they passed. The whole concluded with what proved to be without exception the most amusing piece ever put on a Nelson stage, namely, Mr Arthur Sullivan's " Trial by Jury." Description is impossible. Ifc is nonsense, pure and simple, from beginning to end, but nonsense so cleverly arranged and so entirely free from anything objectionable that the sternest and moat fastidious cannot retrain from joining in the laughter to which it gives rise from the rise to the fall of the

curtain.. To-night "Girofle Girofla" will again be the opening piece, and, after a number of new songs, the entertainment will be brought to a close by the laughable " Trial by Jury," and all who desire to thoroughly enjoy., themselves should make the most of the opportunity and be in attendance. . An Important Question and its Answer. What is the best means of fortifying the system against influences prejudical to health, such as bad air, unwholesome water, sudden changes of temperature, inteuse cold or heat? The rational answer is— by sustaining and increasing the constitutional and physical stre-ig'h, and thus endowing nature with the capacity to resist the influences referred to. To that purpose, as well as to correct inherent tendencies to disease, Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is peculiarly adapted.— Advt.
