The Standard AND PEOPLE'S ADVOCATE. (PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY.)

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1876.

“ We shall sell to no man justice or right: We shall deny to'no man justice or right: We shall defer to no man justice or right.”

Crowded out.—Our usual leading matter is crowded out by pressure of advertisements. Hawke’s Bay Agricultural & Pastoral Show.—An advertisement, detailing the par iculars of the forthcoming Show 1 of this Society, appear in anothercolumn. An old Identity.—We notice in an exchange, that Mr George Buckland Worgan, surveyor, late of Napier, has filed his schedule at Wanganui, ani the first meeting of his creditors has been held. Inspection Parade.—The Commanding Officer’s half-yearly inspection parade will be held in terms of advertisement in another column, on the 28th of September inst. After the Concert is over. —Mr Statham announces that he will give a select dance in the Hall, after the concert is over, the price of admission to which should secure a good crowd of terpsichoreans. “Jewlius Rex.”—This is what the Wellington Post thinks of this local production : —The conception is not a bad one, but the poet, who is some lunatic in Poverty Bay, has failed miserably in its execution. The poetry is vile doggerel, unrelieved by any flashes of wit or humor’. The poem closes by describing a freeflght in the House, in which, while Rees is knocking down Vogel, and McLean is demolishing Grey, a terriffic earthquake occurs, and New Zealand is submeiged under the waves of tho Pacific, drowning the whole lot of senators, save Vogel, who escaped in a boat, and is ultimately rescued by the deities, who carry him beyond the skies. After a time, New Zealand again comes to the surface as a brand new country, cleared of all its twenty millions of debt. This is a plot with a vengeance? Is there no lunatic asylum in Poverty Bay where its author could be taken care of ?”

Building Society.—The time for receiving tenders for £lOO in this Society is extended to Monday next, the 25th inst. Dissolution of Partnership. — A notice appears in this issue, of the dissolution of the partnership hitherto subsisting between Messrs Morris and Sherratt, sheepfarmers, To'oga Bay.
