In tendering the duty the brewer must hand to the collector a statement in dupli cate setting forth the number, sizes, and contents in Imperial gallons of the several casks of beer sold, or removed for consump tion or sale since the last payment of duty, and ho must make a declaration in the pre sence of the collector or a J.P. as to the correctness of the particulars so furnished.

THEATRE ROYAL.

TnE performances at the Theatre last night ■were for the benefit of Mr Lingard, but un fortunately the elements were highly unpro pitioii". Still manyjpeople had resolution enough to brave the searching and fast fall ing rain, antl if the house was not a bumper one, it was certainly as good as could be expected on such a bleak aud dismal night. The programme was a most attractive one. The first part consisted of the bendGciafre's remarkably clever sketches, and the second, of the charming comedy " Stolen Kisses." To miss either is to lose a delect able treat. The Sketches have been given in Auckland so many times that they must be familiar to the very large majority of playoers. There is one new impersonation on this occasion, viz., the Sultan of Turkey. The characters represented wee the follow in<*:-Frank Rifle, with song; Young Widow, with song ; Sang Froid, with song; Miss Graceful, with song; Old Muddle brain with speech ; Napoleon Buonaparte ; Henry Ward Beecher; Sultan of Turkey; General Grant; President Hayes; G. V. Brooke; andH.R.H. the Prince of Wales. The rapidity with which the changes were performed, and their realistic character •were especially noteworthy. The imper sonations of General Grant and President JUayes were so arranged that the left side of the actor's figure represented the one and his right side the other. After a short interval the dramatic performance was commenced. It was really capital, luo whole of the artistes engaged, both prin cipals and subordinates, worked well together, and as a natural result, the comedy was presented iv a masterly and finished manner. "Our Boys" is■an nounced for to-night, and " H.M.b. Pinaforo " for Monday. Good wine needs no buah and the Lingnrds no puffing.

The new waltz "Flirtation" has had an enormous run in America and EnR lind. Now on sa'e at the Auckland Muaio "Warehouse, corner of Queen-streot and Vulcan Sjauo. i Copies posted to any address on receipt ■al 2a id in Btamps.—[Advt. ■ ■■'■ ■>■.'• :

Warning to Te Whiti.

[JiY TELEGUAIMI, OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

WELLINGTON, this day. THE Government have caused tho result of yesterday's trial of the native fencers aud ils consequences to tho prisoners to bo care fully explained to Te Whili, aud distinct intimation has been given to him that all able-bodied men in future hatches of fencers will be arrested with a view to similar treatment, only boys being set at liberty. It is expected that this will ctl'ectually chock further fencing. If boys are sent they will probably be ducked ot otherwise punished, merely to frighten thorn, but they will not be arrested, it is doubted, however, whether To Whiti or Tohu will continue fencing tactics when penal servitude in made a necessary con sequence. DEFENCE OF WAIMATE SETTLE MENT. Tho new settlement ou the Waimato Plains will bo guarded by a strong redoubt of which two block houses will form part. This will be garrisoned by a small party of constabulary, sullicicuc to hold it ogainst any force the Muories could bring against it.

A FORTIFIED LIGHT-HOUSE. Tho now light-house at Capo Egmont is being constructed no as to ft fiord ample menus of defence, not only of the light itself but also tho surrounding district. It will be sheathed with iron and pierced with loop holes, while tho latter will be shielded except on the seaward side. A redoubt will be erected, and a small station made for tho constabulary and stores, it being intended to use tho lighthouse aa a basis of military operations in case of emergency. No actual hostilities, however, are feared, as the constabulary alono outnumber tho lighting men of the natives by two to one, and it is not even intended to replace the hundred A.O.s who resigned through the ten per cent, re duction being enforced.

A FRESCOED DONKEY.

Mrs Doolan Tuxls of tub Tkouisle

That Auosk Tujkhefuom. THERE is blood upon the fuco of tho pale inoDii and the suburb of Sau Miguel is lorn by iuternecinc strife. ISo longer docs liana Patlenboom's black-nnd-tan donkey whisper assiuine cadences upon the Dioruinc breeze. No longer docs Miko tho jj;oat, Tim Jboolan'a put, feed upon the discarded oystor-cuu or in playful moments lire himself clear through the circumjacent board fence of the Doolau domain. And sadder still—uo longer do the 1 succulent turnip, the roseate radial) and tho arfius-cyed potato of PaU'eubooin's vegetable garden adjoining blossom to rich maturity iv the rich black soil. For bucolic peace and stock and vegetable raising have been exchanged domestic strife and neigh bourly war, and Judge Xix of the Ponce Court lias become the unfortunate arbiter. It happened in this melancholy wise. Uu Tuesday of last week Mike the goat, who though liis horns were chipped, his front battered aud his eye a little dull with age, is not otherwise impaired, felt bored and longed for excitement. His master was oil' shooting on the road, Mrs Doolau wus over to Mrs Daly's blackening the reputation of the neighbourhood in general, nnd the PaHoQbooms were at Schuetzeu Park on v picnic. MIKE SEEKS AMUSEMENT. Mike had exhausted his amusements. He had splintered the woodshed, butted tho doghouse into toothpicks, and ouly the fence was left. Board after board cracked and splintered; his excitement increased with his triumph, until finally when ho went, body curled up and tail on cud, Hying at a board which proved rotten, it gave way like punk, nnd ho went clean through and landed on tho scene of Pallenbooni's late and early agricultural ellbrts. The world was all before him, aud he chose everything in sight. Devoting himself to vegetable raiding, stopping, butterlly-like, here and there to masticate sonic more than ordinal iiy delicate morsel, he made havoc such as a whirlwiad would envy, and a locust swarm sacrifice all to accomplish. Wearying of luxuries he settled down to a pair of the old man's red flannel drawers off the lino, and was engaged on the ankle-band when the Paflenboonis arrived. They protested, and he butted. Mr I. landed near the well, Mrs P. went through the woodshed door. The three olive branches, scared to death, were knocked down like baby tonpins, save Hans, tho eldest, who stopped his flight in tho ash-barrel. Tho goat started for the top of Uernal Heights. Tho family wept and consulted. An interview with the Doolan'a prove i fruitless. They wero charged with stealing the goat, nnd ail in demnilication was refused, The scquol Mrs Doolan told on the witness stand yesterday, amid tears and imprecations :

'"Twas early in the marnin, la9ht Satur day, yer Arn'r, whin I war awoke be a cryin-like noise at the back-dure. ' What is it, Doolan,' sez I. ' Go an' see, an' yell foind out,'sez ho, an'jurnpin' out o' bed an' shlippin a gown on I wint an' opened the dure. ' God save us,' sez I, ' what is it?1"

PUNISHMENT. "Sure, there waz poor Mike wid his horns sawed clane off, his face paiutid rid as fire, a big yaller stroipe a fut woidc down his back, an' the rist of him green as Krass, savin' his little tail, which wor shky blue. lie wor cryin', bo he wor, an' faix me own eyes were full o' the wather, bekase he wor so long wid us an' like one o' the family, aud named after me iirst that died whin he wor nursin'. Ye nivcr seen such a suight in all yer born days, an' whin Doolan seen him he wor so woild loike ye'd think he wor clane gone daft wid his cursin'. Thin he grabbed a brush an' a whitewash bucket an' went for old Poffenboom'a don key iv the lot, an' afore ye could say ' Howley Moses,' that donkey wor white as a baby's cloak, an' beginning to kick up an' holler loikc mad wid the loime that was ating into his shkin. Thin I seen old Pafl comin' out wid a club big as a hitchin' post.

"Votyou dooiu'by my chackass?" sez he, mad-loikc. " It's giviu'him a summer suit, I am," sez Doolau, givin'it back to him; " Faix, ye wor so giu'rus to me goat I thot I'd ro turn yer politeness," sez he. "Den 1 don't tank you for dot," says ould Pair, edgiu' up to him wid the shtick.

" Faix, ye always wor an uncivil divil," sez Doolau, grippin' the bucket koindcr bizniss-loikc.

THE ENGAGEMENT,

"An' that's the way the foight com menced, yer Arn'r. Ould Pail' hauls ofi' wid his club, and raiches for Tim, missin' him, thank God, an' Tim gives him the bucket on the head, smasbiu' it to bits. I wor raichin' him a liuce-rail, whin some body fetches me a lick on the car. 'Twas that ould Dutchwoman, so it was. I pelts back at her, an' murther and mush, the gave me wan in the oi that showed pic a Foortli o' July o' f-htars. 'liy ycr lave' sez I givin' it back to her, an jist thin Dinny, nic G-year-old, an' a shmart wan he is, gits bechunc her legs an' thrips her up, ah' pollished her oil' for his mother, God bless him."

According to axtraneous testimony, Mr Paft'euboom was at this period being ham mered into salad by the fully aroused Doolan ; the donkey, whose hair and skin were quickly succumbing to the lime, had oprained both legs in kicking [at vacancy; the front fence was lined by enthusiastic spectators, and the neighbourhood was on a dead run for the scene as far as the San Bruno road.

Tho charges and couutei charges are iu numerable, and the Supreme Court's tangle over the Spraguc case is as child's play to the cloud of complexities that at present encircle Judge Kix.

Samoa.

THE BURNING OF VAILOA. We have lilcs of the "Samoa Times" to the 14th August. That journal of the 7th ultimo gives the following account of tho burning of the town of Vailoa :—

•' By the arrival of the German war vessels Nnutilus and Hyena from Savaii, whither they had carried the Consuls for the purpose of attending a ' fono' of the Old Party, we learn that the town of Vailoa, Palauli Bay, which had sometime ago joined Atua, and which was to be the scene of the 1 fono,' had been burned to the ground, just as the Nautilus and Hyena arrived at Palauli Bay ou Wednesday afternoon, by a party composed of men of the Uu-fafme (in which district Vsiloa is situated) and Faasaleleaga, and the inhabitants driven in to the hush. Ihe same journal of August 14 publishes the following additional particu lars of the event:—" After the Germanmen of-war left Palauli, on Thursday, the sth instant, the Atua and Aana people who had arrived that morning to join in the "fono,' finding that the King party were hostile to their landing, proceeded in their cauoes along the south side of the Island until reach ing Foalalo, where they landed, evidently with a sense of security. They were, how ever, soon undeceived as to their safety, for presently they found themselves in a cul de-sac, a party from Faasaleleaga having followed them up the coast iii canoes and blocaded the bay on which Foalalo is situated, while on

the landward side a party from Satupaitea completely cut oil'all chances of escape in land. The King party then intimated to the besieged that any one attempting to leave the camp would bo shot. We under stand that it is theintentionof the besiegers to reduce their opponents by starvation to qiye up the arms which, in contravention of the agreement made at Saluafata on the 14th July last, theAtua and Aaua people carried with them to the projected 'fono' at Palauli. Up till the time of going to pi ess no news of anyt-hots having been fired had reached us, but hostilities are imminent."

HIS GREAT GOOD LUCK.

Sometimes, when I look back over my life, I am amazed to see how the pages of its record are dotted with hair-breadth escapes. I escaped the dangers of tho Revolutionary War by waiting until the war wss over about sixty years before I got born. When tho Brooklyn Theatre was burned I was inr Burlington. When the yellow feves broku out in New Orleans I way in Minnesota, and immediately nkipped out for Canada. When I was a boy at school, one day the boys in school were Hogged all round for robbing an apple orchard, and tlio (logging didn't do thorn a hit of good, for every mother's sun luidl.be cholera morbus all that night, just the same, and I was attending another school twenty-miles distant When all of my brothers and sfstcrs were down with tho scarlet fever, I was down South in the army, and when I read my letfers from homo I laughed aloud to think of my great good fortune, and that I would only have to be shot at once or twice a week, instead of bavins to take medicines three times a day. When a man comes to the ollice with a little bill, vino times out of ten I am out. And if, by some astonishing blunder, I am in, then, indeed, I am more unfortunate, and tho man is in no bettor luck than before.—Hob Himlotte in tho "Uawkcyo."
