POLICE COURT.—THIS DAY.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., KM.) Under the Teees.—A man named John Connor -was charged with drunkenness.— Prisoner said he should have been all right at Parnell if Constable Collis had not dis turbed his snooze. He certainly ss'&a, drank. —Fined 5s and costs.

A Row AT THE vYHAU. —Mary Harper was charged with, iising threatening language towards Jane Thompson, at the Whau, on the 17th inst., threatening to put her head between her knees and 'spifleate ! her, and fears that if not restrained she j willdohersome grievous bodily harm.—Mrs Harper said that part of the information was true, and part untrue ; she did threaten to spiflicate her, but if the Court would listen to her story, it would be seen that Mrs Thompson "was the aggressor Mrs Thompson called her "Irish," anu threatened to kick her.—Mrs Thompson affirmed that she was shocked at Mrs Harper's story.—Mrs Harper said that the whole row arose about the cattle which got into her paddock and eat her £rass. Hhe turned them out, and Mrs Thompson turned them in. She was continually subjected to insults by complainant and her daughter. She was 26 years in the colony, and had never been in this predicament before. She would say to the Court and to Mrs Thomp son that she would close her mouth in future, and pound Thompson's cows.— Jane Thompson said that she was allowed to put her cows into the paddock by Mrs McCleary, who owned the paddock.—Mrs Harper here broke out into a violent harangue, when his Worship stopped her by telling her that if she did not govern her tongue he must certainly send her to Mount Eden.—Mrs Harper apologised by saying that it was an infirmity peculiar to the women of the Whau." They were all mighty fine talkers.—His Worship ; But you must be careful what you say in Court, or you will get into trouble. —Mrs Harper bowed.—His Worship said there was hardly sufficient evidence to convict defendant, and he should dismiss the case on payment of costs, 12s 6&, which Mrs Harper paid at once, promising never to threaten her neighbour again

BOARD OF GOVERNORS.

The meeting of the Board of Governors was held yesterday afternoon. Mr Justice Gillies in the chair. A portion of the business wa3 given in our last is-ue, the remainder we now pre sent to onr readers. Money on Mortgage.—Mr James, tne secre tary stated that ho had deposited the sum of £500 with the Building Society, at 5 per cent, interest. It was resolved that the mcey should bs withdrawn, by giving the necessary notice, and placed in the bank to the account of the Board.

Mr Macrae's aiejio.—An intimation was re ceived from the Head Master of the Grammar School that the hour-and-half interval in the middle of the day would be resumed on Monday next. _ , . Mkmoriat. to Government.—The chairman said that no acknowledgment had been received from Wellington in reply to the memorial to the Boar.i. , , . Stab Report.—The chairman complained or a report which appeared io. the Kvkning Star. and which was not a fair representation of what had taken place at their last meeting. He thought it was a report from memory. He not deny the correctness of the statements in. the report, but they were placed in wrong posi tions, and not in order in connection with the subjects under discussion. Fkehch Teacher.—The question of engaging a French master in connection with the Board of Education for the College and Girls' High. School was considered, when Col. Haultain moved the following resolution, which was passed:—" That this Board is willing to co operate with the Board of Education, and in the event of the Board of Education securing the services of a suitable tenoher, will contribute to hi 3 salary in proportion to the share of his services required, not exceeding £150 por annum, and will delay making any appointment; of a teacher for the Grammar School until the Board of Education has had time to take the necessary steps for obtaining- such, teacher." The ordinary monthly accounts weie passsd for payment, and the meeting closed.

WORKING MEN'S CLUB SOIREE.

The second soiree and ball at the Working Men's Club, last evening, was interesting and successful. The room wag handsomely deco rated with ferns and flags, lest for the occasion, and seasonable flowers. Immediately facing the entrance to the lirg« room, were the letters "Welcome Ladies," formed of white daisies. The chair was occupied by Mr G. W. Ke3lou, vice-president, who introduced Mr Cook, the treasurer, who spoke an eloquent address on the advantages of such institutions id promoting good feeling and informing the minds of men upon the topics of the day. The state of the funds, although healthy, was nnt large, hence the committee had mado a small charee for admission, rather than trench upou their muds to meet the expense of the entertainment. He would call special attention to the library, to which their lady friends had contribute^ largely; still there was room on the shelves for more books, for. in the language of the poet, " booka were a blessed dower." He was happy to see such an excellent programme before the chair man, and consequently would not trespass on their time at any length, bs they had met rather for social enjoyment and harmony of Bound, than otherwise. The programme opened with a pianoforte solo hy Miss Jackmsn. which was much cheered, following by a reading of local interest. Mr O'Hara gave the song of " The man at the wheel," and was encored. Mr C. Hannkin sang " Nancy Lee"; Mr Wm. Doran, ■ " Wishing Caps." and " The Girls," (comic). Mi- Edwards gave " Killarney," in excellent style. Mr A. Smith gave a scene from " Colleen Bawn" and the "Vagrant and hi 3 dog." Mr McGuire, song and dance, "The girl with tho flowing hair;" and by particular request, Professor Hansan, recently from Wurtemburg, performed several clever tricks with an orange, a lady's ring, and the hump-back, with inuchj dexterity, which kept the audience in good spirits, and elicited their hearty thanks. The whole was under the management of Mr Alexander Smith, to whom a vote of thanks was tendered. Mr Smith, in reply, said it always gave him pleasure to assist at entertainments for the innocent amusements of the people, and he hoped thia would not be the last by many at the WorkiDg Men's Club. The room was then cleared, and dancing commenced at 9.30, under the manage ment of Mr McEwen.

Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland Omwjbus Driver, 21 years resident, of Long-standing Rhuumati^m. Auckland^Ausust 20, 1878. Dear Sir,—l had j&ufferedfeeverely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many years?, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in the exercise of my calling. For *ears I could not sleep at ni#ht, and vra* unable^ Ra lie except in one position. Day and night I jvaltfuil'df excruciafeng pains, scarcely able to •move about at all,-, and as a natural sequence, /my general health waafealso materially iniurea. ' I believe I suffered thg pangs of Rheumatism, ,'and its attendant evils, in. every shape and form, and my life was almost sv burden to me. I tried every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any relief whatever. The sum I spent in Ijijftdicine and medical advice was very con «^S3>le, but of no av&Sr* until I invested in a Sgii* of your Blood Restorer. I confess fflil was not hopeful at all when I pur chased your medicine, Sahad tried so muny specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. 1 adhered strictly to the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my former self again—restored to health and vigour, and able to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worse case to deal with than mine, and although oven now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a leng time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures tosendyou this acknowiedsfemenf., and if it ia the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise. I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it i 3 quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir, youi3 gratefully, Henry Maidek. To H. E. Hitchens, Esq., Auckland. ET> O R T E B & f'l O.
