He stated that on Monday last he was teasing his sister about a boy the son of a neighbor. His sister was angry with him and wrote a note which she threw at him. Ho did not pick it up. Subsequently tho note was discovered, It ran as follows;—" Taueru, March 10, 1884. Dear brother, I write these few linos to you, if I could find some poison I would take some, or drown myself out of the world, for I am a disgrace in the world."

Mr Black cau'ributed two songs, the first being " The King's Minstrel," and the second, " Rataplan," for both of which lie received an encore. The singing of Miss Jessie and Miss Nellie Cameron brought down the house. Their style of singing shows careful home study, and their clear articulation o! every word is a good example to some of our older singers, Both these young ladies received an encore. Mrs Cuff sang "Her Bright Smile Haunts me still," aud "Thou will return no more," in her usual clear voice. The piano and violin duet by Mrs Knell and Mr Lundqvist was,much enjoyed, and in answer to a rapturous encore repeated part ,of tha selection.
