An entertainment, ennsi-dh.g of songs, readings, &<:., viil be given to-morrow evening in tlio Tean-.-raki .-ehoolrooie.. in aid of the school fund.-, under the auspices o>" the tbiod Templars. We understand that a capital programme has been arranged, nii-i this fact, added to the small charge niaiie for admission and the excellent object in aid of which the entertainment is to be given, should draw together a large audience. Doubtless the people of Waimato will regret that Professor Scanieh will not call at their.towu on his way north, as Ids intention to do so has not been publicly uot'iied. nor can it be at this late hour. At most the Professor would have only been able t" remain in Waimate for a Icir houis. and thid eircumstatice would rcini.T it absolutely uecssary that his stay should be made known widely and promptly. Should theiv be any persons suti'eriug from ear atlectionwiio are desirous of seeking relief, we would recommend them to proceed to Timaru and consult the Pd fessor, as lie will remain tiiere on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We at tirst felt some reluctance in writing anytliing about Professor Stanidi. but v.v have this morning perused a ser.ip-bo..U containing the largest number of the most re!:able testimonials we have beheld. >.'.•; only this, but the papers in Victoria have, in leading articles, announced the wot der.he lias performed on the other side-.
