NOTABILIA!

The annual general meeting of the Auckland Agricultural and Pastoral Association will be held today at 2 o'clock p.m. Oh, Maria, do hurry up -with my coat and bagHere's the " Penny Time Table " I bought at one of the stationers this week says the train goes at 8.30, and I know it's right and corrected up to latest date. On Wednesday, the 10th instant, Messrs Tonks. and Co. will sell by auction a quantity of New England organs. These organs are distinguished for their perfection and originality, and they are rapidly supersedingother organs of a similar description. These valuable instruments will be on view on Monday, and anyone can be supplied with a catalogue on application. The fruiterer and poulterer business in Queenstreet (Albert Hotel Buildings) carried on by Mrs Knight and Tarplee, is now conducted by Mrs Tarplee, Mrs Knight having retired from the partnership. Mrs Tarplee will have fresh fruit daily, and the best of everything. The only vacant shop next to Mr Battray's premises in Queen-street has now been opened by Mr H. Bailey aa a tobacconist shop and cigar divan. Mr Bailey, who has had great experience in the trade,, guarantees to supply his customers with the best brands of tobacco and cigars. Live and let live — pay him a visit oh ye smokists. On Monday, a meeting convened by Hi»> Worship the Mayor, on the requisition of a large number of influential citizens, will take place at the MasonicHall, Princess-street, for the purpose of giving an expression of public opinion re the atrocious persecution* of the Jews in Russia. The meoting will commence at half-past seven o'clock ; and no doubt there will be a very large attendance, for every English heart has a. feeling for persecution to tho weak and unoffending. Mr George Hnzell, for many years Boughriding Sergeant - Major and Instructor to a cavalry regiment, intends opening a riding establishment ; ana as such an institution will no doubt become very popular, the idea is a very good one. It is proposed to erect a large and commodious building on the New Northroad, which will be of sufficient capacity to teach riding: in all its branches. Booms will be set apart for ladies" and gentlemen, and stabling supplied for horses. Asregards the qualification of Mr Hazell for duties of instructor there can be no doubt, and he has excellent' testimonials to that effect. The Nevada again. The other afternoon twoforeigners from Cornwall went up to this popularplace to see the " Fairy Fountain " and other blooming: wonders of the Crystal Bar. The fair and scruinptousHebe had retired to make herself still more scrumptous, and that dear, innocent " Henry " was dispensing justice? and mercy during her absence. Both of the foreignerswere total abstainers, and the one who was standingtreat said to dear Henry : " What have you got you ?"" "Neuralgia," replied Rich., with a silent prayer. "New what you?" ejaculated the foreign man. "Darn un^ that's a new teetotal drink ; scat un all abroad, and give us two quats." So Dr Lamson has been hung, and the general". , verdict is, " Sarved him right." Any man deserves; hanging who could so cruelly and deliberately poison a. fellow creature; but one who could in the glorious sunshine and the open day coolly poison a poor crippled: boy (his own relation), deserves the ignominious death he brought on himself. Such is life, dear boys* If this man had not committed the heinous crime against God and man he might, if in pecuniary difficulties, have? migrated to New Zealand and lived a happy life, having his clothes made by Messrs Munro ana Milligan, of Hob3on«3treet> on the deferred payment system. Now,, alas ! he has gone where no clothes are required*. Eemember Munro and Milligan, tailors, Hobson-street*. At the Discussion Class tho other evening one of the subjects chosen was the " Immortality of thesoul" — a matter of discussion fraught with interest to everyone, whether Christian or heathen. My dear, readers, think of this matter in a serious light — I may' gay in an electric brush kind of light; for if you do not think over this matter now, you will not have the chancehereafter. The subject waa well ventilated in an ex», haustive manner by the discussants, but they sadly felt tho want of one man there— he would have settled the- : matter in a few words— and that man is William Garrott, of the firm of Garrett Bros., the popular boot »ud Bhoo manufacturers, Wakefield-street. He knows more about the "Immortality of tueSoto" than any other man inNew Zealand. ■ '." ]L .
