Morley, the Chief Secretary of Ireland, of a personal difficulty, as the former was hostile to Home Rule. Mr Morley will shortly have an interview with Sir R. Hamilton, ex- Governor of Tasmania, on the granting of autonomy to Ireland.

Farmer?, snnc»lator.=, and others are re minded that Messrs Miles and Co. will offer at the Tinwalrt yards a splendid line of sheep —3900—0n. account of Mr C. J. Harper, Hackohorne. The services at St Stephen's Church on Sunday were conducted by the Rev T. A. Hamilton, the new incumbent. At the close if the evening service the Rev gontleman expressed his pleasure at finding the parochial arrangements ao satisfactory and the church in a prosperous condition, ' No effort would be wanting on bis part to maintain it so, and with God'i help, he trusted the work would go on prosperously. I Tlie formal introduction, or " reading in," I will take place next Sunday. There were ; good congregations at both services. The Ashburton Polo Club played their match, married v. single on^Saturday. In the first two spells the single men had all the best of the game, and when half time was called the scores stood : Single, 3 goals, Married, 1 goal. In the next two spells the married men turned the tables on their opponents, and at the conclusion of the game the scores were : Married, 6 goals, Single, 5 goals. The game waa very even through out. For the single men, Messrs Curtis and ■Rickraan showed some brilliant |play as long as their ponies lasted, and at the finish Messrs Buckley, Sounders, and Bland did good service for their side. Mrs Buckley provided afternoon tea, and a large number of spectators watched the game with a keen interest. On Wednesday next the Tinwald members will play the Ashburton members. Messrs Buckley (captain), Curtis, Stewart and Clark, will represent Tinwald ; Messrs Saunders, Denshue, Rickman acd Claridge, Ashburton. Tea will be provided. About ten o'clock on Sunday night a fire broke out in a house in Cameron street West, the property of Mr G. J. F. Lublow, and occupied by Mrs Harkin. The family were not at home when the fire was dis covered, and when Mr F. Clark sounded the alarm bell the flames had got a good hold of the building. The curricle engine was early on the spot but the fire had obtained the mastery of and it was hopeless to think of saving the building, which was soon burned down, in spite of both engines. The steamer came on the ground shortly after the curricle. Nothing was saved in the shape of furniture of any value. The house, which was a five roomed builiog, wa3 insured in the Victoria Office for £160, and the furniture in the United for £75. The Ada Fitzroy Company gave the first of a series of two entertainments in the Oddfellows' Hall on Saturday evening. There was a fair attendance in the back part of the Hall, but on the forward benches the audience was sparse. l|y the late arrival of the Mararoa at Duuedin the com pany had to work without the aid of Dave Gardner, the well-known nigger tninistrel and general funny man, who is a host in himself, and the baritone singer, both of whoa) should have come with the express fromJDunedin ; but by the lateness of the Mararoa's arrival they just missed the train. They will arrive to-day, however, and will greatly strengthen the company. Miss Ruby Clifford, a graceful dancer, was vociferously encored for her admirably performed Irish jig and sand dance, and she also recited an Irish poem very well. But the bulk of the work of the entertainment fell upon Miss Ada Fitzroy, of whom an enthusiastic mem ber of the audience said she was the "cleverest girl he had seen for a long time." Her first item was the exhibition of some extraordinary feats of memory. A list of thirty words was compiled from the audience, and written upon slates by members of the audience, and the woi'ds numbered. The words with the numbers were called out, and when "thirty' was reached Miss Fitzroy was able to repeat the whole catalogue, and having done so correctly showed how firmly the list was fixed upon her memory by repeat ing it backwards, and allowed herself to be subjected to a most searching cross-exami nation giving word to number and number to word at the first time of asking. Her next was the Davenport brothers business, and after being securely tied with ropes to a chair in a cabinet got rid of her bonds in a few seconds, doing of course the mysterious business usually performed in connection with this feat. Her next was her "story told "/vith fingers and thumlss," and the amusing pictures she silhouetted upon the screen, using only her two hands, with occasionally a strip of paper to make the shadow pictures were wonderfully clever. With these finger and thumb pictures she was able to give quite a series of laughable little comedies thafc made her immensely popular. She ought to have many patrons to-night. Holloway's Pills.—Weakening weather —The sultry summer days strain the nerves of the feeble and decrepid, and disease may eventuate unless some restorative, such as the purifying pills, be found to correct the disordered tendency. Holloway's medi cine gives potency to tho nervous system, which is the source of all vital movements, and presides over every action which main tains the growth and well-being of the body._ No one can over estimate the necessity of keeping the neJves well strung, or the ease with which these pills accomplish that end. They are the most unfailing antidotes to indigestion, irregular circulation, palpita tion, sick headacke, and costiveness, and have therefore attained the largest sale and and highest reputation.

Lotst in the JBush. One ef Dunedin's oldest inhabitants' who is still hale and hearty, has owned one of the corner sections in the city ever aince the first sale of town land took place, soon after the foundation of the settlement. The original price was only £12 10s, but it is now worth at least £50 000. When the diggings rush took place a Melbourne merchant wanted to buy the section, and offered him £1000 for it. This seemed at the time a fabulous sum to the owner, who, however did not want to sell, "Gae awa' wi' ye men he said to the tempter, "ye canna have come by your money honestly or^ye wadnabesae free wi'yer thousands. — Extract from the ''Bulletin, June 28, 1890. . .
