Mr Bright delivered another lecture at the Oddfellows' Hall last evening, when there was a very fair audience present. He left for Auckland in the Wanaka this afternoon, and may probably return to Nelson in the course of two or three months. At the Resident Magistrate's Court to-day, the ouly case heard was Muncaster v. Cook, a jeweller residing at Napier, for £21 6s 6d, amount of promissory note, with interest. Judgment was given for the plaintiff for the amount claimed and costs £3 9s. Yesterday was observed, by the various Sunday schools in Nelson, as a day of prayer. At the morning meeting about 100 teachers and others met in Mr Campbell's schoolroom notwithstanding the bad weather. The children's service at the Drill Shed in the afternoon was a great success, about 500 children beiug present, besides teachers, parents, and friends. Mr Brunton, of Dunedin, occupied the chair, and very earnest addressess were given by the Rev. Messrs Fee and Beckenham, and Mr R. Jenkins, after which a collection was made on behalf of the Indian Famine Fund, which amounted to £7 5s 7d. j To-night a public meeting, including several congregations, will be held in the Wesleyan Church, and addresses will be given by the various superintendents. Wb understand that Mr H. D. Jackson has been appointed the local agent for the Union Insurance Company. Ths Costume Cricket Match to be played to-morrow afternoon in the Botanical Reserve in aid of the Indian famine relief fund promises to ba a great success, a large number of gentlemen having consented to take part in it.

The action will be tried before a special jury at Nelson.

We sometimes eat too much. Appetite occasionally outruns discretion and the consequence is a fit of indigestion which may lay the foundation of future wretchedness in the shape of chronic dyspepsia. As a means of counteracting the effects of overeating, and, if used persistently, of completely eradicating the last named malady, there is none more certain and agreeable than that admirable anti- dyspeptic and after-dinner cordial Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps. — Advt.
