Local and General.

Holiday.—There will be no issue of the Telephone on Easter Monday, in order to allow our staff to participate in the general holiday. County Council.—We are compelled to holy over our report of the County Council meeting. Jewellery.—Mr. W. Good having just received a splendidly assorted consignment of the newest patterns in jewellery, invites an inspection of the same. Fishing Company.—On account of there not being sufficient members present on Thursday night last, the meeting which was intended to be held, lapsed. J. Battety.—We bog to call attention to the programme (in another column) for Easter Monday. The list promises an excellent day's sport. R.M. Court.—This morning Hori Umu, who has been remanded several times for lunacy, was committed to the Auckland Lunatic Assylum. The evidence of both the medical men went to show that the accused was at times out of his mind, and dangerous, and unfit to be permitted at large. Gas Co.—On perusing our import list by the Southern Cross, our readers will observe the arrival of a quantity of working materials for the Gas Company’s works, winch we are glad to see, and hope that operations will be pushed on speedily. Cricket Match. — On Monday next a cricket match, Matawhero v. Ormond, will take place at Matawhero, in one of Major Wrstrupp’s paddocks, which that gentleman has kindly lent for the occasion. After the match in the evening a dinner will be given at the Royal Oak Hotel, by Host Cohen, and every preparation will be made for the reception of visitors. Circus.—On Thursday night last the Circus was again well patronised, on which occasion there was an entire change of programme. The performers were as usual greeted with much applause, showing that the audience fully appreciated the excellent performance. At the Matinee this afternoon they again succeeded in getting a good house. To-night will be their last, as they intend to take their departure by the Waihora to-morrow. Holy Trinity Church.—Easter SundayHoly Communion at 8 a.m. and after the evening service. On Monday the children’s school treat will take place at the Recreation Ground, near Mr. Bull’s. Parents of the children, and others, are invited to co-operate with the teachers in making the young ones happy. A small fee will be charged for the older persons who may want tea, which will be supplied on the ground. Shipping.—The s.s. Rosina is at present at Tologa Bay, and has on board the cargo of the schooner Gisborne for Waitotara, which was transhipped on account of the latter not calling in there on her way up. The cargo will be discharged as the Rosina returns, which will be shortly. The Ringarooma and the Southern Cross arrived yesterday from Auckland, the former left the same day for south, but the latter did not get away till this day, whence she proceeded to Napier, Wellington and Lyttelton. The Waihora is expected to-morrow morning early, from southern ports, for which the first boat will leave the wharf at six o’clock, and the last at eight.
