The Evening Star.

SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1871.

It is greatly to be regretted that any little cotitretemps should have occurred to mar the celebration of welcome to the Nevada; and there are few who will not be sorry to learn t that a seem ing -slight, undoubtedly unintentional, was shown to his Honor the Chief Justice. As is generally known, he was among the invites, and presenting himself at the door of the building a little after the commencement of pro ceedings, was refused admission by the doorkeeper. It appears that His Honor had not the ticket of invitation with him, and on being refused admittance, of course, retired. In all probability Sir George Arnoy was not known to the person in charge of the entrance, for we cannot think the doorkeeper would, on his own re sponsibility, and without consulting the committee, have committed such a faux pas. We are confident that the gentlemen on the committee would not, for ten times the cost of a ticket, have consented to such an act. Sir George Arney is one of those who have no enemies. His dignified and urbane bearing has made him to be regarded as a model, not only as a Judge but a gentleman; while the gentleness with which, on the bench, he administers the penalties to which he is compelled by law and duty, is sufEcient to disarm even the guilty, of inimical feelings ; and his presence would have graced the complimentary luncheon more than that of any gentleman present on the occasion. We do not hesitate to say that it will give general satisfac tion if the committee take immediate steps to express their regret to the Chief Justice for the unfortunate mis adventure. We have also heard that an invitation was not sent to His Honor the Superintendent. We can hardly credit this. Mr. Gillies cer tainly was not present ; but this we are more disposed to attribute to the fact that he had a public lecture to deliver in the evening. If His Honor ok was really overlooked, it cannot be re

garded as other than a slight ; and would have a political aspect, if not significance, that would be most dis creditable to the committee.

As will be seen from another column a very extensive sale of drapery and millinery has been commenced to-day by Messrs. Vaile, at the establishment, corner.; of Wyndham and Queen-streets. Alterations on a most ex tensive scale in the internal arrangements of their establishment necessitate a complete clearing out, and a portion of the goods have been removed to the opposite side of the street, with the intention of making a sweeping clearance in the shortest possible time. During Friday the steam launch Fairy was kept busily engaged running to and from the p.s. Nevada, with great rapidity conveying from 400 to 500 persons, within the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Mating each trip in about five minutes, causing as much curiosity as the Nevada herself. By a singular oversight wo omitted yester day the name of the Catholic Bishop from the list of thoso present at the celebration of wel come to .he Nevada. Bishop Croke occupied the honorable position of supporting His Excel lency on the left—the guest of the day (Capt. Blethen) being on the right of the chair. Josh Billings on the Racoon.—The ra coon iz a resident ov the United States ov America ; he emigrated to this country soon after its ditkovery by Columbus, without a cent, and nothing but his -claws tew get his living with. He iz one ov them kind of per sons whose hide iz worth more than all the rest ov him. He resides among the heavy timber, and cultivates the cornfields aud the nabring garden sass for sustenanc, and under stands biz bizness. His family consists ova wife and three children, who reside with him ou the inside ova tree. He can alwas be found at home during tbe day, tew receive calls, but his nights are devoted tew looking after his own affairs. He dresses in furs, and biz tail, which iz round, has rings on it. These rings are ov the same material that the tail iz, and worn upon all occasions. During the winter he ties himself up in a hard knot and lays down by his friends.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

This mo3t popular place of amusement was last night excellently attended, the event being for the benefit of Miss Col ville. "The Woodcock's Little Game," "A. Happy Pair," and " A Handsome Husband," three small pieces, constituted the evening's entertainment, iv eacli of which Mr. Hoskins and Miss Colville took the principal parts, and made a charming moreeau. The}' were ably sup ported by the company. This evening the favorite " H.-ir-at-Law," and "The Critic" vvilj, be produced, and will doubt' less, again crowd the theatre.

NORTH SHORE

One of tlie mest successful entertainments ever given in this district took place on Thursday night, in the Devonport Hall, when the well-known Lancashire Bellringers gave their novel but mo.st interesting performance. This fine ball was well filled in every part by tho good people of the North Shore, who testified by constant applause and repeated encores their appreciation of the singular talents of these gifted performers. Indeed we do not remember any entertainment so thoroughly and so deservedly successful in all respects.

A CALIFORNIA HENNERY.

The work of raising chickens in California differs materially from that resorted to in any other section of the country. A chickeu is a bird you can't fool with. If it is of a cboico variety the first thing you know it will up and die.

Mr. C. M. Nichols, tbe pioneer chicken fancier, has probably the most complete hen nery in the stute, at his place in Fruit Vale, Alameda county. An Alia reporter visited the establishment yesterday, and is now as competent to talk chickens as General Grant is horse. Fruit Vale is two and a half miles from Brooklyn, and is a beautiful valley, lying back among the foothills of the coast range of mountains. It contains a fine number of buildings, the country residences of many of our prominent citizens. Mr. Nichol's hennery is built after tho most approved style with such alterations and additions "as bis extensive experience in the business in this -climate suggested.' The hen hery occupies about an acre of land, and is di vided into twelve yards by picket fences, which are whitewashed. In most of these yards are chicken houses, -which are elevated on stilts, about fiteen or eighteen inshos from the ground. This admits of a free circulation of air, aud by keeping them dry prevents the breeding of vermin. There is a door in each end of tbe houses^ and also an opening in the floor, from which an inclined plane runs almost to the ground. On these inclined planes tho chickens ascend to and go down from their roots. The houses are built of white cedar, which entirely protects the chicken from ver min that collect in chicken bouses made of most any other material. Under the houses are kept piles of ashes and loose earth, in which the chickens wallow. In some of the yards are fine plats of grass, and fresh earth is ploughed up in others most every day for scratching purposes. Mr. Nichols has a number of fine almond trees, which are now in bloom, in each of the yards.

The. chickens, after they are sorted for breeding purposes, are shut up in the yards and provided with " moveable nests," which are well built and can be changed from place to place. All of these yards are now occupied by choice chickens, most .f which are either engaged in laying eggs, hatching them, or tak ing care of broods of chickens. Mr. Nichols has a fine display of chickens, including Brahmas (Duko of York strain), light Brahmas of selected stock, dark Brahmas, buff Cochins, African Bantams and Houdans. Tho Brahmas are mammoth in Bize. If anyone proposes to go into the chicken business, they should see Mr. Nichols' hennery.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT

We regret to have to announce a painful accident that occurred: this morning at St. James' Church, Wellington-street. A young man, aged 18, son of Mr. Webb, painter, Cook-street, was on the roof of the building engaged in the repairs at present proceeding, when he fell to the ground, breaking a leg and an arm. He was immediately conveyed to the Wel lington Hotel, and promptly attended to.

OHINEMURI

[feom a coeeespondent.j

May 4. We have had great goings on since the arrival of Mackay; a war-dance was performed yes terday, in which over 200 joined. Mackay has, as yet, not got the obdurate Te Hira to conceed a single point, but be enters into tbe various subjects in a more friendly spirit than in any of tbe former koreros. Tbe mail and wire have, as yet, been tbe only questions brought before tbe meeting, and to neither will be consent as yet. I have every confi dence in James, jun., to bring round our stiff friends Te Hira and Mere Euru ; yet, I may be deceived. Word came down from the Aroha that the Ngatihaua and Waikatos had all left for home, and given up all intention of disputing the ownership. Puckey and bis mob are expected down here to-night or to morrow, for what I have not hoard ; but should they put in an appearance before Mackay has finished, I am afraid it will make matters worse. I cannot enter into particu lars of the korcro, as I was not down any Tength of time. Pineha, from tbe Piako, has turned, and is giving To Hira's mob fits for stopping the mail. Nothing particular has been done as yet.

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSO CIATION.

The first of the scries of winter evening lec tures, in connection with this society, was given Inst evening, by his Honor the Super intendent. Subject: " Our Province." There was a largo attendance. The Rev. Mr. Bree, President of tho Society, occupied tho chair. The Chairman, in his opening address, said the society was one which had not been sup ported to an extent commeusuratc with the good it was calculated to do. Ho hoped that it would in future meet with tho support which it deserved, and that these lectures would be numerously attended.—His Honor, upon making his appearance, was warmly re ceived. Ho said tbe subject was not of his choosing, and ho regretted that tho time de voted to his other duties did not allow him to do it full justice. It was a subject, however, full of interest for those living in tho pro vince. His Honor proceeded to give a sketch of the history of the first set tlements j the whalers of Kororareka ; tho introduction of Christianity; the first Government, and proceeded to enumerate tho resources of "our province" with their several values, prospects, and applications. He was listened to throughout with the greatest at tention, particularly when speaki.g of the native race and the Native Department. He deprecated its being understood that his re marks applied to any particular Government. As we purpose to £,ivc ins observations in ex tenso in a future issue, we will not incur tho risk of abridging his observations upon this important subject. Hi's Honor was loudly applauded when he resumed his seat. A vote of thanks was given to His Honor, moved by Mr. Shalders, and seconded by Mr. O. Lewis. The proceedings concluded with the Bene diction.

LUNATIC ASYLUM.

Another of tho entertainments held at this institution for tbe benefit of the patients, took place on last Thursday evening, and it is very gratifying to those who have had some trouble in connection with these entertainments to observe that the number of visitors is increas ing. Besides those living in the adjoining dis tricts, there were a number who went from Auckland, and the hall was very well filled. The Volunteer Band, under the "leadership of Mr. McComish, played several pieces, and contributed to render the entertainment one of the most successful that has yet been given Mr. H. Morgan and Mr. C. O'Brien gave some very amusing songs and recitations, much to tbe delight of the unfortunate inmates. A A few gentlemen amateurs from Auckland assisted in the programme, and one of the inmates gave a violin solo and a recitation entitled the "Bashful Man," in a very creditable manner. Much credit is due to Dr Aickm for the trouble he takes in thus trying to afford a Ijttle recroation and amusement to those placed under his charge, and he desires us to thank the Volunteer Band and tbe other gentlemen who gratuitously did their best to make the entertainment such a success ul one.

The demonstrators thereupon unfurled the colors of the Nationals, but the sentries threatened to bayonet them the flagbearer, and the crowd at one commenced to retire. Baron Nathan than'seized the ilag, and exhorted the crowd to advanoe against tho illegal force occupying the place. The order was obeyed, when' the Nationals occupying the place beat their drums and fired in the air.
