Sire Prince Frederick, dam Jessamine 4th, by Lord Haglaa, g.d. Je3samine, &o. Eight pedigree bulls have now been imported there, including Rockingham by Rocking ham 4',h, dani Meadov? Flower, &c ; a valuable ball. Prince Frederick and Rockiagham 4th were stud bulls used by Mr Robertson, of Victoria, in his celebrated herd at Coljio. Thb new Bank of New Zealand building in Hamilton' presents: a really handsome and imposing appearance. The ; plaateiing on the South, and East sides, '' the froatages to .Victoria and Hood 'streets, is completed/ to within reach of the, ground, and the opaffolding was t-ikeii down and removed to White's buildings, adjoiniog, the plasjieHhg of the front of which will be at once proceeded with. The sides of the Bank building, North and South, which are plain and without ornamentation, will be afterwards plastered. We noticed that yesterday 'the galvanised iron roof onJVfr K. Hill's future auction room .was completed. ■ : Onk effect of Mr Fox's local Option Bill has already been experienced in rather an unpleasant manner by the would-be publicans of Christchurch. Accordisg. to the 'Lyttlefcon Times,' the licensing commissioners on the 4bh of this month, refused all the applications for new licenses with one exception, the chairman stating that in view of the faot that important alterations might soon be made in the existing laws with referenc to licensed houses, the comissioners hj,d determined to set their face against granting any new license unless there was special reason for their doing so, Dawson the half-caste, alias Grey, who was. lately-followed by Mr Oliver of Alexandra into the King . Country, , but who doubled; on^hist jpursuer and madd the East Coatfe jit J?p"ptiki, was brought up to Hamilton on Thursday, in charge of Constable Murray, who had been down to Auckland, with the native prisoner, committed last week from Cambridge. Dawson, it will be recollected, was wanted for putting off a number ■of valueless cheques on upcountry storekeepers and others. Yesrerday he was eeut on with Constable Murray by coach to Alexandra, and will be brought, up this morning before Major Mair. Sergeant MeGovern will leave Hamilton this morning to prosicute, and, we understand, that another charge, that of larceny as a bailee will be brought against Dawson at theinstance of Mr Gage, of Whatawhata. Precocious Tiplebs. — Four little boys at Cambridge, aged four, six, eight and twelve, respectively, were sent , by their parents to collect firewood. In fossicking near " the Maori House" they found a bottle of brandy, and proceeded to try its contents, and in^a short tiaie nearly empted it. The result was " drunk and incapable." Somebody passing reported the matter to Constable Breunau that three boys were either dead or dying. He proceeded to the<Bjj<>t and found them " dead drunk' 1 Tha parents were sent for, who soon discovered th.it one was missing. Search was promptly made and the little fellow was found in the same condition as the others, and so near the edge of the river, that had he moved only a f. w inches, he must have rolled in and been drowned. The children were removed to their homes and the recovery was watched with the utmost anxiety. The Constable made inqniry at the Hotels respecting the brandy, but the brand is unknown there, and the impression is , that a native had planted it and had either forgotten it or could not find it again. Mottlbd Katjbi Sideboard.— Hamil ton at least can boast some good mechanics amongst its original settlers, a proof of whioh iajimply afforded in as handsome and well finished a piece of furniture of itl kind as need be seen, a sideboard, the workmanship of Mr Slater of Hamilton We«fc. ', The design, as well as the material and workmanship is good. The sideboard u some six feet two inches in length, the two side compartments for cellarets standing slightly in front of the centre one. The panels on each are raised, and the handsome dark wood forming the two outer panels are a match ' in grain, aa arc the two double panels of the centre front with each other. The whole is well finished, tie framework of the drawers being solid inch stuff, and the inner portions of them English sycamore, and the wood is all well shrunk. The French polishing has brought out the grain of the mottled kauri to perfection, showing how handsome. a furniture wood it may be made to be. flow that Mr Slater has oompleted his task, he finds, we believe, some difficulty in realising upon it. There are not many people here who care to expend twenty or five-and-. twenty pounds on a sideboard,or who have a dining room large enough to contain it, and we would, therefore, suggest that, as a work of art, , it ineligible for a raffle, nor do we* think' that there would be much .difficulty in disposing of a hundred tickets at five shillings eaoh in Hamilton, if it is found necessary to dispose of it in auoh manner. The Hamilton Elopement Case.— During the hearing of the " Hamilton elopement case" yesterday, saya Thursday's * Herald,' the Police Court- was crowded, and it was quite evident that public sympathy was ou the side of the youlhful pair, and the trifli-ig tunounb of bail demanded by the B^nuh was also evidence that the magistrates did not look upon the offjneo comtnU(;ei by ; O'Connell c| a yery heinous one,, We

need hardly say that the necessary surety was lit once found, and O'Connell was liberated to appe.ir to answer the charge against him at the Supreme^Oo.urb. i ;#A second charge against defendant '• for making a false declaration *r"eg\irding/tfie time' during which "Miss , Mdllidns and himself had been in Auckland' prior to .his- applying .for the necessary document to: the Registrar of Marriages, was withdrawn by the prosecution. SE3SION AT CHBISTCHUBOH.— Mr Macandrew's motion for' holding the next session of Parliament at Chris to iiuroh, to have been made in the House on Thursday, was on hisovrn suggestion postponed for a fortnight, to allow of private members' business going on. Pure Bred Sheep for Auckland. — The Bathurst correspondent of the • Sydney Morning Herald,' telegraphed to that paper that asneep-breederfrom New Zealand, a Mr Morris (Mr Thomas Morrin of this city), has purchased one ram and ten lambs, coarse-woolled, from Mr E Webb, for one hundred guineas. The • Bathurat Free Press ' of a recent date states : — •' Those who attended the list Western District Agricultural Show, he x\ at Bathurat, will remember the magnificent peu of coarse- wool led sheep —pure Shropshire breed— exhibited by Mr E. Webb, and which secured priz«s in the class under whioh they were exhibited. The sheep shovjed that great care had been exercised in their breeding and rearing, and recent events have proved the wisdom of the course which Mr Webb had taken as a breeder of that class of stock. A day or two since a gentleman named Moran (Morrifi) paid a visit to B.ithurst in search of firat-olass stock for his station in New Zealand. He paid a visit to Hathop, and saw the flick of pure-breds there running, and so favorably was he impressed with the superiority of some of the animals that he at oucu sought to become a purchaser. In this he succeeded, and having selected ten ewe lambs, between, ten and eleven mo itha old, and a ram twenty-two mouths old, he made an offer of 100 guineas for the same. The offer was acc.-pt.ad, and, large as the umouut may appear to tae uninitiated, Mr Moran (Morrin) declared himself as highly pleased with the bargain. In a few clays the sheep will be shipped for New Zealand, but in the meantime those desirous of seeing them may avail themselves of the opportunity, as they are suuuing in ■ the Hathop sheep enclosure. The sheep in queatiuu were bred by Mr Webb from stock originally purchased by Mr W. H. Sutton, uow of Alloway Bank, and have been fed on natural grasses. We have no doubt that in the new country to whioh they are' to be taken the animila will prove their superiority as producers of coarse wool and heavy carcases, and that the present owner will in the future have abundant reasons to congratulate himself for having crossed tha Blue Moun bains in search ' of stock. We may mention that Mr Webb retains in his possession the original sires and dams, together with other portions of the increase."
