The Harbour Board meets to-day. Tbe Hon. James Carroll, who has spent the last three weeks enquiring into sanitation amongst natives, will introduce a Bill dealing with the question. Our losses in guns in the present war have been heavier than in any period of our military history since 1783. They are as follows: —Nicholson's Nek, 4; Stormberg, 2; Colenso, 10; near Bloemfontein, 7; a total of 23 weapons. A paper-mill which was started at Riverhead, near Auckland, about three months i ago, is reported to be turning out some very satisfactory samples of paper, and Auckland merchants are giving their hearty support to the new industry by using the paper and paper bags manufactured there, in large quantities.

Our readers are reminded of the patriotic scenic entertainment this evening in the Theatre Royal, when the famous "Boer War " programme of the Edison Kinematograph Co. will be given for the first time in New Plymouth. Those who attend the Theatre to-night will, no doubt, fully endorse the following taken from the Auckland Weekly flews of April 27th" On the evening of April 21, Messrs. Cooper and Macdermott gave their ' Grand Patriotic Scenic Concert' in the Temperance and Public Hall, the ouilding being crowded. The thrilling living pictures of real warfare, and the magnificent coloured inyriorama views of great events and battle scenes of the present war, fairly brought down the house, and were undoubtedly the best ever shown here. The colossophone, for the first time heard in the district, was also much appreciated, and called forth rounds of applause. There was another full house on Sunday evening, when a 6acred concert and kinematograph programme, illustrating 'The Story of the Cross,' was gone through, some of the sacred songs on the colossophone being repeated by request, The entertainment was mosi pleasing, and an intellectual treat."

When this comes to pass, happiness and prosperity will be the rule and not the exception.

These wonderful remedies have] been blessed in many lands for the relief \ they have afforded and the cures effected. They are specially adapted for all complaints affecting the liver, stomach and kidneys, and at this season no family should be without a supply.—Advt Considerable speculation was indulged in when the South African war first started as to how the colonial horses would stand the severe strain that they must necessarily be put to in reconnoitring, patrol, and forced marches work. With a six months' test we now learn that the New Zealand horses have stood the test best of all. Another tribute to the vital and strength-giving qualities of our country. We can also safely say that of all the remedies for coughs, colds, etc., in the market Sykes' Cura Cough is facile [priticvgs. All Ohemists and Storekeepers.— jAdvt.
