Dun'edix Beer.—"Fifty ILogsheads" replies 10 t'ommercia: Traveller's"' remarks on the large : sale of Dunedin beer in Auckland, He says:— j •■ Your coi'respondent hasccrtulnlj gone beyond iiis depth when h-.s positively asserts that Auck land beer id cheaper and butter than Duncdin. ! inasmuch as Auckland brewers tfe.emsclvos, I j am persuaded from my long experieiie3 horeand j in beer, are quite satisfied by raying that Auck- | land beer is equal to Dunedin xxx or xxxx beer, ; but not better. Kvidently getting tired on : truism, and probably dry, ho seems to remember the last draught of beer he may have had in the Dunedin brewery referred to. and I modified his ardour for local brow, and for the first time tries to reason the point by asking; the ! question that if ever Dunedin or foreign ales | were better than that produced here, would it not be better to keej- the money in the place. Doubtless it would be belter for our local traveller, and also for our local brewers, but as regards the working man I fail to see it, unless that he might and probably would drink les:; or none at all, for reasons pretty generally known. As regards thos.. who import Dunedin orioreign beer importing men to pay for and drink it, is, I i think, so utterly absurd that even our working men. who may not be supposed to have a " com mercial traveller's " experienc-. will feel inclined ' ro exercise their own judgment, ai>ddrink what ever beer they deem most palatable." Educational JUatticks.—" Duke Humphrey1 writes upon this subject. He says:— The Edu cation Act is now occupying tho public mind, and every little sectarian gathering is ready to do battle to carry oat its own peti-fagging views. | Religion they are'full of, bnt f am sorry to say j they have very little Christian charity. \\"ho is there amongst us that does not respect the teaching of their parents 1 and do they think we arc ready to accept their views of religion when I we see in them'all they condemn in us i Educa- j tionZ What does it mean 1 Improvement in all | that are lucky enough to obtain it.

NATIVE MEETING

During tho last week there has been a large and influential meeting ot! natives from the sur rounding districts held here, at which Com missioner Kemp was present, to lay before the Government their real and also their fancied grievances. They also protested against the closing of traffic on I ho tramway, which has recently been consummated, as they protcstjthat in consideration of allowing tho tramway to be laid partly through their land they have free access to it, and I doubt not we shall hear more of it, before the contention is amicably settled. COAL SUPPLY. The mine under its present management is turning out a large quantity of coal, the usual ma.i-ket being increased by the calling- here of the Union Co.'s steamers, "who, I presume, find that the material is quits equal in quality and at the same time cheaper than what they can procure otherwise. Tho tender fnr the structure for the Church of England, of Mr W. Swift, of this place, for £300 odd has been accepted by the Building Com mittee. It is to be completed ill time to be opened on Christmas Day, and I doubt, not the contractor will succeed in his endeavours. Rather a novel entertainment took place in the School-room, on Tuesday, for the purpose of raising funds to build a hostelry for the a native children attending the school at "Waiomio. The greater part of the programme was performed by native children, and their endeavours reflected sn-eat credit on their schoolmaster, Mr Lorrigan. Noticeably so was rhe sonyr, "Little J3rown Jug," by a native boy about seven years old ; and also the comic duet.

■" Novel Courtship," by a native boy and girl. Mr Lorrigan, junr.. yave a humorois Irish read injj, which was well received; and the Misses Lorrigan contributed some well-known son.'^s. Mr Lowell, with his usual kindness, {rave his services, and santr "Xot before Pa, dear."'for which he received^ a unanimous encore, when, substituted '■ Behind the Scenes," and in answer to the request gave the " Daring Slack Wire." The entertainment concluded with a farce by the native children, which was certainly moro to be rcroinmended on its ludicrous situations than anything c se. There is to be a grand enter tainment on Tuesday next, by- the best local talent, for the beuclir. of the Church builrtiiu? fund, which I doubt not. from the whispers I hear, will amply repay all who may attend, and at tho same time be asuccess financially.—(Cor- KBSJPOKDKNT).

DISTRICT COURT.—THIS DAY.

(Before F. D. Fenton Esq., District Judge.) Previous to the commencement of the business. Mr Tyler, on the part of himself and the profession expressed pleasure at seeing his Honor in Court, invigorated and restored to health, and he hoped that his Honor might be long preserved in health amongst them.

His Honor said his absence had been a source of pain to him, both physically and mentally, and after making a few good humoured remarks, thanked the gentlemen of the profession for the expression of their kindly feeling towards him. IXfJLJS V. HARPY. Mr Tyler for plaintiff, and Mr Heskotli for defendant. This was an action brought by James Ingljfc against Charles Hardy, bftth settlers in the neighbourhood of the Wade, in which damages were laid at £100. The particulars of the action appeared in the STAR at the time of the hearing of the case, when Mr Bfcookfield, who was acting as District Judge, reserved judgment. The action arose out of die floating of logs on a ri.\er, and the damage was the loss of a rustic bridge, and some laud which had been driven away by the action of the floating logs. After giving due weight to the facts of the case, judgment £41 15s was given for plaintiff, with costs £43 ISs. DEXJJES V. TAYLOR. Claim, £30 ISs 9d.

In this rase, Mr Hesketh appeared for the plaintiff, W. C. Demies, and informod the Court that a part of the original agree ment hud been carried out, and there ap peared a possibility of a satisfactory settle ment of the whole by next week. Allowed to stand over until next Court day. XATHA2T V. PALMER. Claim, £43 9s 91. Mr Meyer for plaintiff. This was a claim for yood supplied. Judgment for plaintiff, costs £4 16s. TOKATEA G.M. CO. V. PIIIUE OK TOKATEA G.M. CO. Claim £100, breacli of agreement. Mr Hesketh stated that these companies were of one family, indeed were brothers, and a little difference had arisen between them which he trusted would show over in a few days. The "Pride"' had made a proposal of settlement to its parent ••' Tokatea," which he believed the elder company would accept. The case was therefore adjourned uutill the 11th September.

NOTES FROM HOKIANGA.

A MAORI COUNTY COUNCIL,

I Now that our M.H.R.'s have-again assembled wo may expect to hear a good deal nbom the working of County Councils in ditierent parts or the colony, bntldonot suppose that your leaders have an idea of the kind of County Council that conducts our business iv this remote part of Now Zealand. The Chairman, whose duties are arduous in the extreme, has to keep isi order a, Council consisting of two i Europeans. one half- caste, and throe Maoris. At th;i last mei'tins? ho notified that tlus sum or .-6120 voted some- tnno since for repairing roads and bridges, was ready for manijml.ition. and that as the amount was so small, it had better be spent in ornamenting the still smaller town ship ! of Herd's Point, consisting, after a life of 50 year.-;, sole!'.' of the following buildings, most of which have only recently been erected:.—Church, Court-hous?, Telegraph oiliee. Custom-house, I two hotels, three .store-, and one solitary I private h <use. I have forgotten to-mention the five monunient3 of provincialism, viz., the immigrants' cottages, never doomed to bo occupied. The two European members strongly ! objected to money that was intended to do away | with some of the man-trap:) and mud-holes, i which travellers know so well, abounding i on the main road oi' Hokianga, being spent in j ornamenting a useless township, the people of | which cannot help themselves: but they were ! over-ruled by tlio three Maori members, : who take it for granted that Europeans can never be right, and,, therefore, always vote igainat them. Neve- at any time do the Maoris understand the discussion that is going on, bur at, the limsh always ask the same question, " Which way does the' Chairman vote?" and after getting his reply state that. thoy entirely agree with him. A SOUND LOGICIAN. After the Maoris had expressed their opinion i by asking the foregoing Question, the half-easUt member stated that he had weighed the matter carefully in his mind, and had decided that as he had some firewood about half a mile from his hotel vvhicla was awkward to cart, he thought it best to spend the greater part of the Hokianga County Council funds in making a road thirty feet wide to where his lire wood was situated. At the mention of carting tire wood the KuroDean members again protested that the money should be used for the purpose it was voted for, and not used in making a useless road through an apology of a township that would lead to no where. At Uiis stage the Chairman said it was no use arguing, so he would put the mutter to the vote, and the natural consequence whs th»k tho Maoris carried the day, as the/ always do in this part of tho. world. On looking throush the rate list somebody called attention to the fact that onu of the hon. Maori members had not paid his large tax of one shil ling. Our Maori friend promptly replied that his brother was also interested in the block of land'for which he was taxed, and if he did not pay the Is within the next; two or three months he would think the matter over, and he might pay it himself.; and thus you will see that our MaoriSmembers are very loath to pay their own rates, but they aro not at all backward in squan dering the money collected from the Europeans. Xo further business being brought before the meeting the Council adjourned to an adjacent hotel, where the lion, native Councillors were very glad to drink tho health of the Lightly coloured Councillors. I have since heard, that the European members intend retiring to make room for two more Maoris. When this takes place I would suggest, that the whole Council have their photographs taken in a group, and I have no hesitation in saying that they would make a fortune in selling copies of the most curious constituted body of law-makers that New Zealand has af; tho present time to be so proud of.—COHUKSI'OXDEXT.

Painful Accident on the Wharf.

Mr LiEOXAKD, driver for Messrs T. and S. Morrin, met with a serious accident about 3 o'clock this afternoon. He had takcy a large case, weighing halt a ton, down to the steamer Scotchman. The tackle had been placed round the box, and waiting for tiie guy to be fixed to steady it, when the engineer started tho hoist.' Leonard was standing on the case, and was lifted with it over tho steamer, the package tilted suddenly, and throw the man violently down the hold—injuring his arm and leg. He was taken at once to Mr A.ickcn, chemist.

The "Waka Maori" libel ease is now on, and causes great excitement in legal circles. The plaintiff has twentj -seven witnesses. It is believed defendants have thirty. It is expected that to-day's pro ceedings will be ehielly confined to proving the publication. The defence admitted publication. Mr Macassey delivered a capital and exhaus tive address lasting an hour and a half. Powatahuri proved that he never signed M?.ngai's letter, therefore lie demanded that the forged name be struck oil. Henry Tacy Clark, Cominissoner, proved that the letters Avers inserted by order of the late Sir J )onald McLean when Naf ive Minister, gand that he (Mr Clarke) con sidered the letters libellious, and impro perly reflecting on the character of a gentle man in another province. On tin's ground he kept Araha's letter one month, but was ordered to insert it. The cross-examina tion of Mr Clarke is proceeding. Mr Grace acts as interpreter.

THE KINGITE MEETING AT HIKU RANG!

The llikurangi meeting concluded yester day. About iiftcen hundred natives were present. It was a failure for the King party. The object was to endeavour to get the hill tribes to come in under Tawhiao's authority at flikurangi. Tana and Ngakau were the jH-hicij>;il speakers for the Kingites. Te Wliemia, of Ngatiaho, a good orator, quite upset N jfakau's speecli, showing the ad vantages he gained by living in a pnkeha district, compared by living; on a bluck Jiill like Hikurangi. Te Ngakau evidently was quite nnable to refute the arguments of Te Whenua's .statement of the actual benefit he; and others derived from living adjacent to Europeans. To Ngakau, in the name of the King, warned half-caste .Maoris living at Te Kopua in future never to accompany or allow any Europeans, especially policemen, at Kopun or any native settlement. Tamati Ngapora [Mauuhiri] closed the meeting, by declaring the heavens would descend on Tawhian's side, advising them to come in at mice. He would give them till January next to consider, which would be tho la-s't meeting. Tawhiao hiniteelf did not speak or show- himself to those present, but his im mediate followers spoko. About Urn tons of Hour, half a ton of bacon, aud about two ot beef and pork (preserved) were consumed, with immense quantities.; of potatoes. The tribes present were : Tauranga, Taupo, Thames, Kawhia, and Ngatintukawa. llauhaura was the only chief Nga.timania poto present ; Revvi, Whanui, and Taonui refused to attend. The split between the two tribes is evidently daily widening.
