Hazelden, to be Riven next week in St. Amlrew's schoolroom, Cambridge. Tlio first evening will wound- r-t:md havnspccia] connection with '.he o-mdiy School. On the second evening the laelure to be divan is sail] to be Mr Hazelden's best and best illustrated. Our Cambridg-e correspondent wired last night:—A waggon and horses bolted from Mr John Ferpusou's yard in Lake street this afternoon, and literally ran over a horse and buggy that Mrs Alyward Fencuurt was driving along the street. The buggy «"w smashed to atoms, and Mrs Aylward was injured severely, but I could not ascertain to what extent before tho telegraph office closed. The Oddfellows' ball, to be held in the Cambridge Public Hall next Friday, promises to be a brilliant success. The supper will be supplied by Mr F. Popde, which is a guarantee as to quality. Host Kerr, of the Masonic Hotel, provides the annual dinner fur the members of the lodge, and, judging from past experiences, we know thpy will fare well, far the jovial '• Harry " knows how to tickle the palate. No further developments have taken place in connection with the stoppage of the Raglan road. Persons requiring to use this thoroughfare, have lately got into the habit (not unnatural under the circumstances), of breaking down tho barrier, but Mr Bruco has met the difficulty by digging a ditch across. A special meeting of the Raglan County Council is convened for today. We trust that one of the first questions satisfactorily settled will be this wretched road st ippage. Tne attention of poultry , breeders and others interested is drawn to the announcement in our advertising columns of Mr A. Aitken's annual sale of prize poultry in the Agricultural Hall on Monday, July 18th. AH who have birds to dispose r>f are requested to communicate with the auctioneer at their earliest convienee, so as t* enable him to make up a full list for the sale, which will be advertised in our columns as soon as it is completed. The following- members of the Hamilton Light Infantry will compose the team to fire against the team from the Te Aivamutii Mounted Rifles to-day :—Lieut. Kirk, Coloui-Sergt. Connolly, Scrgts., Kelly and Alexander, Corporal H. McKen-, zie, and Vols. R.. Jno., and Wm. H"bbs, A. Chappell and J. Thomas, The visitors will bo en tertiinerl at a luncheon at 11.30 a.m. after which the teams will proceed to the range, and the competition wiil at once be started. Capts. Bruce and Reid will be in charge of the respective teams. The visit of Tawhiao to Whati'whatihoe had, it seems, a very important object, as we heard yesterday that his more immediate followers have been occupied in disinterring all tlio bodies buried there during the time of Tawhiao's occupation, numbering about 300. These bones— according to Maori custom—a certain thro after burial are taken up and scraped, and, as on this occasion, nre transferred to Some other resting place. Tawhiao intends placing these relics in the burial ground at Ta-jpiri. Great preparations are being tna'Je by the Maoris down river as far as the Waikalo IFeads to carry out the proceedings according to custom. The interment will take plaae on Monday, and on Tuesday the usual "tangi," firing of gune and feasting will take place. It is estimated that fully five hundred Maoris will be present during the ceremony. The New Zealand Express Company (Campbell and Crust), announce in our advertising columns that they have opened a bransh of their extensive express, forwarding, and general currying business in AuckUnd, with agencies throughout the province The Wrm cf Campbell and Crust comm°nced the carrying business ii: Dunedin 20 years ago, and ab'mt 10 years since added the express forwarding branch to it, appointing agents in all the prmcip.il centres in the colony and abroad. As the business increased they opened branches of their own in Wellington, Christchurch, and other Southern towns, and now, with the Auckland branch and agencies, have a, complete organisation throughout tha whole colony. Under their express system, parcels, merchandise, baggage, etc., aro taken from the sender's door and delivered at the address affixed, at a through and fixed rate, saving sender and receiver al! trouble, and with full responsibility in caae of loss or damage. The advantage is apparent, and the extent to which the New Zealand Express Company is used and their enterprise appreciated is shown by the way in which thei- business has increased. Starting the first ypar with undr>r 10,000. they last yuar put fIO.OOO packages through their hand*. Wherever the New Zealand Express Company hava opened branches, business peop'-e and the public generally have not been slow to find out and avail themselves of the conveniences offered, and we feel sure that in this district their enterprise will be appreciated, and that those having paresis or goods from any of the above-named places will order thsm to be sent through the New Zealand Express Company. Their rates for parcels are lower even than the Parcels Poet. Mr C. O. Hought'jn, for many years with the firm of Messrs Sargood, Son, and Evvou has been appointed manager to the com pany in Auckland. Messrs Chas. Hii.r wood, J. B. Toasdale, Jas. Meredith, am. G. Bailie have been appointed agents at Hamilton, To AwMinntu, Cambridge, aur: Te Aroha respectively.
