TE AROHA.

Colonist Mink.—Dissatisfaction, amounting almost to disgust, was expressed at a meeting of the local shareholders of this company, held on Thursday afternoon in the Club Hotel, at the action of the manager (Mr H. H. Adams) in having sent ore to the Thames for treatment, instead of giving tho To Arolia Silver and Guldmimng Company opportunity to test and purchase it. The shareholders present were Messrs Robson, 1-:. Gallagher, Jameson and Downes. Mr Jameson was voted t-> the chair, and after explaining the object of the meeting submitted a series of questions to be asked the directors to answer. Taking a few of the questions, it will be seen tliQ(y are .searching and business-like.— (D number of tons of ore sent; (~) if fair average sample; (3) average assay, value in crude state ; (4) cost of transport, from mine per tram, cart loading and freight to Thames; (■">) cartage, &e., to bittery at Thames ; (li) name, of battery; (7) mode and cost of treatment; (8) number of o;<", of bullion; (9) amount received; (10) average assay of tailings and what has been done, with tailings; (11) if there is an approved tailings plant, at the lhauie.s; (12) the number of days the manager was at the Thames, his expense:- as manager when there; (13) and his terms of engagement ; (14) also the terms offered by the Te Aroha Gold and Silver Mining Company. It was unanimously resolved that the questions bo forwarded to the directors in Auckland. ]t looks somewhat as if the fat had got on the lire.

Rkv. Mr Kvans.—This gentleman returned on Thursday from Cambridge in unproved health, and informs me he has, on the advice of his medical adviser, resigned his charge at the Thames, as the climate there does not agree with him. It is to be Imped that our " serencr clime " will induce him to permanently accept the charge of St. Mark's here.

Salvation Aioiv.—A small contingent of these warriors arrived by train on Thursday, but whether their mission is to obtain benefit by the healing waters of Te Arolia, or to devote their attention to our " imperfections," has not yet developed. B\.\'l> OF Hoi'U EXTKRTAINMBXr.—This treat for tho juveniles, which has been looked forward to by most of them as a gala night, came off on Thursday evening, at Lhe Wesleyan Church. The entertainment, which consisted of lime light exhibition, songs, etc., was highly appreciated, (if one could judge by noise) by those present, tho Church was crowded to its almost limits,
