[per press association.] Volunteer Review.

Auckland, To-day. The review at Papa Toi is a great sue- / cess. There are 500 Volunteers on the ground, including 90 cavalry. Religious Inconsistency. A curious thing about the Northern natives’ religious craze s that two of the chief supporters of the prophetess, Whai and Kato, were the largest subscribers to a church, lately erected to Kaikobo, the 1 two of them having given LIOO. The 1 church was opened with great ceremonial i and with solemn religious observances, participated in by a large number of r natives, the Bishop presiding. The Sun day afterwards the principal supporters of E the church were roasting oats alive as a sacrifice. The Peace Party. New Plymouth, To-day. Titokowaru’s “peace party” of 1,600 reached Whitecliffs on Wednesday, and were received by Mokau natives, headed by Te Wetere. There was some speechi fying, after which presents were distri buted. The natives are now on their way back to Farihaka, Parliamentary Candidates.

About half-past twelve on Thursday ir night one of the large produce stores on B | the Pastoral Society’s ground was dis- Q covered on fire. A steady breeze was blowing, and the building was soon con- a: snmed. After the alarm a Scandinavian ei was seen coming f ora the fire and was tl arrested. 'Jhe prisoner states that ho was shown there to sleep by the landlord of the White Hart Hotel, and the fire * awoke him. He endeavoured to beat it ei out, but the fire gained and he then went to look for water, and discovered his clothes on fire, and was proceeding to give the a'arm when he was arrested The w building was insured for LSO. Body Found. Welling i on, To-day. The body of a stillborn Infant has been found on the beach at Oriental Bay. The Volunteers. Colonel Hewitt has not yet definitely accepted the command of the forces. The Government had cabled with reference to the terms of his appointment. With a view of placing the militia on a proper basis, the Government has decided to cancel all existing commissions in New Zealand militia under Majors, except those? holding permanent appointments in the e - Volunteer force. The Government pro- b pose to amend the Militia Act next ses sion. At present it is not settled whether Colonel Roberta comes to Wellington. Stack Fire. Blenheim, To-day. Two barley stacks at Mr Thomas Red wood’s farm, three miles from the town were totally destroyed by fire yesterday c morning. The cause of the fire is un- u known. The stacks contained 1,400 bushels and were insured in the New Zea land offices for two-thirds of their value. A Parliamentary Candidate. Nelson, To-day. Mr J.

Holloway’s Pills arc strongly recom mended to all persons who are much reduced in power and condition, whose stomachs are weak, and whose nerves are shattered. The beneficial effects of these Pills will be percep tible after a few days’ trial, though a more ex tended course may be required to re-establish ' perfect health. Holloway’s medicine acts on the organs of digestion, and induces complete regularity in the stomach, liver, pancreas, and kidneys. This treatment is both safe and cer min in result, and is thoroughly consistent with t observation, experience, and common sense. - The purification of the blood, the removal o all noxious matter from the secretions, and the excitement of gentle action in the bowels, are 1 the sources of the curative powers of Hollo , way’s Pills.—Advt. The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited . This is es pecially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it has been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the county had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit ann good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in sum? lar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word “ Hop ” or “Hops were used in a way to induce people to believe thef.were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word “Hop” or “Hops m their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. _ Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and chemists are warned against dealing in imita M counterfeits.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT , IMPORTANT SALE OP SUBURBAN AND OTHER PROPERTY, Being a portion of that well-known and VALUABLE ESTATE, GROVE FARM. MR T. BULLOCK (in conjunction with Messrs Friedlander Bros.), has received instructions from Robert Wilkin, Esq., to offer by Public Auction, at the Arcade, on an early date, A portion of that well-know Property Grove Farm, which is now being divided into Suburban Building Allotments, fronting Carter’s ter race, Graham’s road and Grove street, and is known to contain some of the most valuable Subur ban Property that has ever been offered to the public in this dis trict, and the locality is everything that can be desired. A large pro portion of the frontages have a northern aspect; the Land is of first-class quality, and there are many magnificent Sites for Villa Residences, The road from the end of the bridge (Carter’s terrace) is now being fenced on both sides to the Boundary road leading to the main thoroughfare to Lonv beach. There are also laid off a number of small holdings, facing Graham’s road, which will be found very suitable for paddocks for per sons st-nding their stock to the County Saleyards, or wishing to procure a small farm near town. Now that the Traffic Bridge is about to be erected, it will be found to be very convenient for persons having their busi ness in Ashburton, and desirous of resid ing in the country, as it is close to the town; but the river being between, affords the same advantage as if they were living some distance away. SPECIAL NOTE. It is doubtful if there is a property in New Zealand offering the same advantages as Grove Farm does. The Land is of the very best quality, and the position could not be improved, lying as it does about midway between the important town of Ashburton and the rising township of Tinwald. At each of these plaees con- j venient Saleyards have been erected, and I the large attendance at the weekly mar kets proves that the settlers in the neigh borhood are fully alive to the advantages which these markets offer. Intending purchasers are respectfully invited to inspect the several lots to be offered previous to the sale. T. BULLOCK, 2 293 Auctioneer.
