Ai/THOU&ft in common with all other parts of New Zealaud tliis province ia deeply interested in everything relat ing to our great future staple, flax, it is surprising how little that interest is manifested as compared with what is taking place in some of the Southern provinces. There, attention seems habitually directed by various societies to the subject, and a vast araouut of valuable information accumu lated, and ♦ testimony adduced in defence of the fibre against the calumnies current in England, and the colonies. There cannot be a doubt that great good would result from similar proceedings being taken in this province. But there is one point in the encouragement of the flax in terest to which attention might, with specially good results, b© directed. It may be that the true secret in the preparation of the fibre, has not yet been discovered, but it is of the utmost importance that there should be, even at present, an official recognition of the relative merits of tho fibre as proceeding from the various flax mills. There is the widest pos sible difference between the specimens of the article aa presented for manu facture locally, and for export to Eng land. Carelessness in the cutting of the plant leads to the indiscriminate ■use of the products of the growth of ten or. twenty years, and the frosh young pliorinium tenax such as alone should bo used in manufacture. The same carelessness makes no dis tinction between the various plants that are included in the generic term of flax ; and not only in the character of the staple, which is the hope of New Zealand, subjectted to the empiricism of countless un known methods of preparation, but all kinds of rubbish are huddled together indiscriminately, and go to fasten libels on the character of the finest fibre in the world. In the highest degree it is advisable that a Society should be formed to devote attention to this special duty ; and by periodical shows, or systematic examination, by the granting of rewards or the issue of certificates, at once stimulate' the careful production and preparation of the fibre, and give a guarantee to the manufacturer or the English pur chaser as to the genuine character of the article submitted. Nothing could be more careful than the classification requisite in wools. Why should it be otherwise in flax ?

The people of Parnell are not a whit behind the city folk in their desire to be amused, and an entertainment in the Parnell Hall is almost invariably a full house. Such,, we think, judging from the programme we have seen, will be the "Grand Dramatic and Literary Enter tainment, under the patronage of Lndy Bowen," to be given on Monday evening next, in that building, for. the benefit of Mr. Hal;^ Levoi. "The Spectre Bride groom," a '-'• Grand Musical Melange," and a new local farce—the "Three P. Smiths"—will be a programme which we have no doubt will afford, a most delightful evening to our suburban friends.;

On a recent Sunday evening, a mad pig got on to* Melbourne road, just as the street was crowded with church-goers, and naturally produced great excitement. The animal was of immense size, and rushed open-mouthed at great speed after two or three persons, at the same time giving vent to some hideous shrieks. lie burst open gates, and seizing a lady threw her down, inflicting some nasty wounds on her «rm. Several boys wero severely bitten, and a man was knocked down by the animal, and had his cloths nearly torn off. The pig cleared the street in a very short space of time, men, women and children taking refuge in gardens and on fences. Several people armed themselves with sticks and stones, but never dared to face the insane porker. At last Sergeant Lamer arrived, armed with a loaded rifle, mid,shot the pig. It weighed about 2cwt.— West Coast Times.

Ik the Theatre Royal last night " The Lady of Lyons" was presented to a yery well filled house. Miss Joey Grougenhoim played the character of Pauline with genu ine feeling -and taste, and represented the struggles of lore and pride, tempta tion and faithfulness, in the bieast of the Joval wife with true womanly appreciation. The part of Claude Melnotte was really a magnificent piece of acting; we think we

Lave never seen any of «'r, liayner's previous efforts surpassing it. Mr. Clifford as lieauseant, Mr. Hydes asGlavij& v am|; f Mr. Towers as Dii ma skewer et^eall|^ixcfflli, Lnfcin their parts, ;andsjthe otnW charge terV were well sustained. Owing to, theI length of the piece there*, wais no farce, and; a couple of songs frop;'JMiss ftogers cob eluded. To-night;7Aurora Floyd, with Miss Gougenheim as heroine, and SErV Rayner as the " SoftVj"'a»d the " Rough Diamond," with ,^fi|s Gougenheim as "Margery," will cdnstitute one of the most charming programme that play goers could desire. Thebe was a vory fair attendance at the Prince of Wales Theatre last evening, on the occasion of Mrs. Ryan's benefit, when "A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in, the Rush" was produced, in which Mr. McGrowan, as the Lawyer Capias, was really an excellent piece of acting. Mrs. Ryan was also very good as Mrs. Regi nald. The performance concluded with "The Married Hake."

The Cabandini Conceets. — Good houses still attend the singing of the Ca randini family in the New City Hall; and last night gave no indication of their popularity being on the wane; for nob withstanding the throng, on the previous evening, giving a bumper house to Miss Fannie, there was the usual enthusiasm from the well filled benches as melody and symphony came tripping sweetly from the lips of the fail 1 songstresses. To? night the programme, as will be seen, contains some of the finest and favorite songs of their repertoire. Auckland Polytechnic Institution. —A meeting of persons favorable to the formation of an, Auckland Academy of Science, was held in the Photographic Gallery, 194, Queen-street, when the name wa3 changed to the Auckland Polytechnic Institution, and the following office-bearers appointed : —Dr. .Nicholson, Provincial Secretary, Presideut ; .

[Beforo Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.] Mr. Wtxn previous to the business of tho Court, drew his Worship's attention to the fact of having presented a memorial from the members of the legal profession.

He believed that .there was gome probability of an arrangement being carried into effect. The large room of the Mechanics' Institute was in every way suitable.

A Lady and her "Bumps."

HASTY MATLRIIGE—THE HUSBAND N Examines his wife's head, and

CONSENTS TO A DIVORCE. ... Most of our local readers, says a correspondent at Hartford, (Conn.) are aware of the arrest of Samuel S. Drake, of Windsor Locks, charged "with an assult upon John Toomhy, at Wood l'uff & Beaeh'a iron works —the main point being that Drakn had hastily married a young widow of Hartford, who soon after confessed that she loved Toomhy. Mr. Drake informed U3 that while most of the account in the main was correct, some important facts were omitted, and, as the story of his courtship and marriage possesses a romance seldom met with in the current affairs of life, we give below a portion of the interesting accounts taken from his own lips : " I saw her at Mr. Moore's boarding house, No. 35 front-street, on Tuesday, nine days before Thursday on which we were married. When I saw hex' I asked another lady there if she was the landlady, and she said not, and told iao that she was a young: woman wfco had been gi-eatly abuied. Being something of a phrenologist, I examined her head. I found her to bo a woman who loved money pretty well; mechanical ingenuity, large ; deficient in cautiounesa; continuity and self-esteem small; intellectual faculties quite"well developed. I *aw tliore would be trouble from her small cau tiousness, but not bo much as there turned outto be. I told her she would be fond of adventure ; that she wpsn'fc timid, and asked her if Bhe would be afraid to get married if ,a - man should p/opose ? She said sho wouldn't and then I asked her if she would marry me, and she said she would, any time. Nine days, after, I came and we were married; wont to St. John's Hotel, and the next morning went home. We wore living quite happ'ly then j but she began making revelation* to me about her previous character (he gave details hero which we omit) at which I was quite horrifiod ; but I had sympathy for her faults.and forgave her. All went along well enough till she came to Hartford on Wednesday.- She stayed that night and went back the next day. Sho got off at nayden's station, and when I went after her a man told me that he had seen hei1 sitting on a pile of rails. _ I walked up the track find found her. A little girl was with her, and «he told me that while my -wife was sitting on the pile of rails a man came along and hugged and , kissed her. I didn't say anything about this, and the next morning, Friday, she saia sho had trouble ; that a young man, Toomhy, was e;omg to kill himself if sho didn't marry him ; his mother had said that ho would take 'pizeu, if she didn't marry him, and it had taken away all her peace of mind. I told her I did not know what to think about it, but I would pray, and so I did, then tasked her if she would 'pijzcn' me if I didn't let her go ? She made no roply. I told her then that I was not at liberty to refuse her to go, and would do anything to get a divorce. Mr. Drake went on to giro tho whole facts, from which it appears, as stated the other day, that the marriage certificate was burned up by mutual consent, and on Mon day'himself came to this city. He thought as Be had inng!ia:iiwously given up his claims to the vromau for the benefit of Toomhy, that Toomhy ought to pay one-half the cost of getting a divorce, and to arrange that matter he -went to Woodioffo & Beach's. But Toom hy, he says, knew him and goein'g a pistol in hia pocket, tho;u't ho had " brought death along with him, " aud was fearfully alarmed, and at once caused his arrest. The whole story is a remarkable one, and one of its most dtriking features is flic wonderful fortitude displayed by Mr.: Drake in his affliction. Few men would be ablo to bear themselves up with the courage that he displays, with such torriblo experience staring him in the face; but he appears to bring to his situation tho nicest essences of philosophy, and, buoyed by consciousness that he has done nothing to aggravato the feelings of any one, lie is almost a martyr, bi-eaiue of his great charity, which makes forgiveness a shining virtue .with, him, and eeems determined to outlive the wrong, and go on as a citizen with malice toward none. In tho Police Court the case was heard fully, and Judge Merrill reserved his decision until this morning.

ASSAULTING THE rOLICE

:W; C. Hereford was charged by Constable Clarke with having assaulted him when in the execution of his duty.
