We understand that there is likely to bo a crowded house to-night at the Theitre Royal, Masterton, to witness the performauco of " Tho Guv'nor" by a patty of amateurs, in aid of the Catholic School funds, Tho play is a capital one, with situations of an intensely funny character, and out Wairarapa exchanges have all spoken in tho highest terms of the way in which it was recontly staged in Greytown. Indeed, we beliove that somo of the principals would bo hard to beat sb amateurs, and there is little duubt that tbe public will have an enjoyable evening while contributing to tho support of the eohool jo energetically carried on by their Masterton fellow-citizens.

A FUTTEKINO YEIIDICT.-Speakfog of one of _ the most notorl of colonial specialities, the press says:—"Sharland's Baking Powder deserves morothan a passing notlca.for the' 'Moa" Brand Baking Puwder enjoys a reputation second to none. From ono end of New Zealand, to the other, large orders aro received for this popular brand, Even in tho most out of the way districts the careful housewife, possessed with the laudable ambitim to make Lor broad and her scones better than her neighbours', buys Sharland's Baking Powder, and triumphs over tho low,of her less sensible sisters, who, from a mistaken sense of ecouomy, buy apparently cheaper brands, Tho rocipe of a good Baking Powder is anything but a aecret; but how very few manufacturers use, as Messrs Sharland & (Jo. do, the best only of_ materials, carefully tested before mixture and exactly proportioned."

A remarkably case of recovery from cholera is related to tho Evening Star by a Uunedin resident. Tho sufferer was the narrator's father, and the incident occurred during a oholera epideraio iu England iu tho autumn of 1832, at West Brumage, iTsmall town five miles out of Birmingham, The man was an ironworker, and left his home at 0 a.m in good health. Before 9 o'clock, however, he had to be brought home, unable to walk, A doctor was called in, and pronounced it a case of malignant cholera. All the usual romedies wore tried, and another doctor called, but about mid-day tho patient became unconscious from' the violenoe of tho pain.

Somo change in the present system was urgently required, and he hopod that it would not be long before that change was made, Those remarks wero prompted by the fact that Taieri County had been called upon to pay the sum of £9OO odd to the Hospital and Charitable Aid Boards-alinost a fourth of tho rates of tho county,
