We learn.that Mr W. H. Pesrce of the Wharf Hotel, Grahams-own, ha* purchased the Royal Slail Hotel, Victoria street, Auckland, which hostelry- he -has taken possession of. Sir Pearce is so well know* here that any recomrrier dation would be superfluous, and we are quite sure that apart from the excellent, accommoda<ion afforded by the Royal "Mail,.the new proprietor will secure a large eliaro of the custom of Thames visitor*, whose comfort will be guaranteed under the r.ew nianrgemcjit. The Wharf Hotel business will be continued by Mr Pearce'« brothers, alao favorably known on the Thames. A tbacheb is war ted for Ihe Parawai School, in room of Mr I. CoV.urn, who has been offered and has accepted the post of teacher at Newmarket. During Mr Coburn'e conduct .<•£. the school—which dates from its establishment— it has been ably conducted and haa given great satisfaction, and we sincerely trust that an efficient teacher wil! be found as a successor to the retit ing bead, who leaves folely, we.believe, with a view to better his condtionj haTing been appointed to a larger school. The Thames Miners .Accident Belief Fund meeting was held -yVaterdny evening in the Governor Boweri Hotel. The business was chiefly of a routine character. Tt wes deter-' mined that miners at Oliinemuri who keep their euber-rip!ions paid up shall be entitUd to benefit from'the fund. ! Thames tradesmen soem to have it all their own way on the Obinemu-i field. In: every branch of storekeeping they appear to monopoliso the • trade* and it is. fair to fay that their supplies ara quite equal to require men's. Amongst other* Mr Bfulme, of . Pollen, street, Shortland, has CEteblished a branch, and offers induce ments to customers which th» >cs urcee of hU, ShortUnd establishment enuble him to fulfil with satisfaction, find the consequence is that the numrs are abe to indulge in fleshy luxuries not often obtainable on a new goldfitld. , .. The dogco'lar days are in again, and it may be as well to remind owners of do"»s that if they wish to secure their pets'from tho hangmau'd grip or the "cup of cold pison," they should at enco prceuie the new collar for the currert year, as dog 9 tunning lob^e; without the distinguishing badge run a fair s oh■ nee of being picked up as ragranta and de ilt with accordingly. Many valuable d'gs suffer the penalty of unpaid.-taxes yearly, from their orer«eonfi ience in police human nature, whil* SHappwh, suspreiQuß ciirs get officot .free. . The Takopuna left for Oh'neicmi this morning at:7 o'clock wi»h a rumber of excui"siofiiets on board. ;\ye -observe that the time of the Takapuna'S departure is altert-d. She will leave at 730 o'clock to-morrow morning, and at 8 o'clock on the mtruing following. Shopkbepbbs in^Shbrtland complain that. bu-in*Bß is very clack, and this f«ct is to them rendered more vexatious on account of their having pu^suaded themselves that the op n iig of Ocinemuri would make Shortland exceedingly br.sk.
