Poverty Bay Standard. WEDNESDAY, August 16, 1882.

Mr. Henry Monro, Licensed Interpreter, a son of Judge Munro, notifies elsewhere that his services are at the disposal of the public. Any communication for Mr. Munro may l>e addressed to the Standard Office, Gislxmie, or to the care of Mr. Mullooly at Tologa Bay. A horse attached to a cart, shortly after 12 o'clock to-day, attempted to startle the idlers In Gladstone Road by I Kilting. The sensation, however, was “nil/’ as the driver, George Bougeu, sprang forward and seized the reins, and pluckily stuck to the horse until he stopped him, The following is the business to come be* fore the Cook County Council to-morrow evening To receive report of Committees On Tramways, Library, Native Lands Bill, ftnd Finance ; consider the question of Orcct# Ing tolhgattft oil County tows; receive tendersfor right to collect toll* on Aral Bridge. We would call the attention of the Borough Engineer to the state of the crossing from Customhouse street to the Chllder’s road, at Mr E. K. Brown's store. There’ll be a smash there if the crossing is not olaened out and filled with something solid enough to stand the traffic. Mr Dickson opens the new “Argyle’’ Hotel to-morrow (Thursday) and throws open his house and stock to the public free of charge. Mr G. Johnstone, in honor of the occasion has ha*l a “special brew,’’ and sends six casks of malt liquor for the consumption of that day. Talking of Johnstone's brewing, have any of our readers ever drank any of Johnstone's lottie*! porter’* If not, let them try it! We have been using it for some time past awl find it equal to imported, anil the difference in price certainly gives it a pull. We hope M r Dickson willave rattling good luck with the new •• Argyle, and !*• able to light his pipe with the Licensing Act. The newly inaugurated Chess Chib is one which we would be pleased to ®ee the youth and talent of Gislorne join. The entrance fee and annual subscription has been fixed at so low a rate that a boy earning 5s per week is enabled to join. The game, like undid, is one calculate*! to instruct and improve the youtliful mind awl exercise the brain. It is pleasing to notice that the Library Committee have made a most important concession to the Club by jiving them the use of their , Raiding-room fv— cvr.ry Tweday night.
