Archbishop Eedwood laid the foundation stone of the Catholic Church, Manchester street north, Christchurch, last Sunday afternoon in the presence of a very large gathering. The church was dedicated to St. Mary, and will be a wooden building, capable of seating one thousand people. Sir George Grey continues his gifts to the Auckland Library, and by the last mail sent home for a number of scarce works. The total of this and the previous order is £2OO. According to the latest reports the prospects of Puhipuhi mines in Auckland have much improved. Chloride of silver has been found in three of the claims. The balance of the sum collected in Auckland, as the result of the mission of the Irish delegates, was sent Home by the Zealandia on Monday. The tetal amount raised was £Bl9. The Borough Council of Oamaru have been carrying out a scheme of

At the City Court, Dunedin, Edward Addison, formerly employed by Ross Brothers’ Coffee Palace, was charged with arson in connection with the fire at Earner’s premises on Sunday. It appears the place was fired on two occasions. Addison was committed for trial. The man named Stevens, who had been arrested in Sydney, was brought before the court at Wellington on Tuesday on a charge of horse stealing. The prosecutor did not appear, and, the ease falling through, ho was ordered to pay £lB 18s, the cost of bringing Stevens back. Two charges of fraudulent bankruptcy and leaving the colony with more than £2O of his creditors’ money were then preferred against Stevens, and on these he was committed for trial.

The Siberian railway scheme is a portentous affair. The route selected will be 4375 miles in length, and the costis estimated at 250,000,000 roubles, which, at the present rate of exchange, is equal to about £27,778,000. , The noted qual.ty of the Coffee made in the Caf6s of Turkey, France, and America i« chiefly due to the fact that only Freeh Roasted Coffee ie used ; so that none of the volatile oil and other essential* are loit. Ask your grocer for Anderson’* Coffee, and you will have a beverage alike refreshing and stimulating, as it is fresh roasted and ground at the factory, Timaru. —[Adyt. 2J
