LUNACY. Maria Trafford was committed to the Lunatic Asylum on the medical testimony of Drs. Goldsbro' and Honeyman. This was all the business

it is along while since tna puDiio of^ Auck iand have had a bankrupt stock offered them but the disappearance of J. B. Uobinson and the Feiznre of hiß stock by the creditors has thrown th* Btock of the Auokland Clothing Company on the market. The trade were invited to termer for it, and Messrs Garlick and Cranvrell, pur chased it at a large discount off the original cost. They have removed it to their City Hail Arcde premisas, and as their warehouse is hardly large enough for their ordinary traao, they will sell this bankrupt stock at a small advance on what they purchased it for, to effect an immediate clearance. They having paid casn down for it, are naturally anxious to reooup trie ex<ra capital thus involved with all desnatcu, and offer it at far less than its value to effect a BDeedy clearance. Ladies and gentlemen are Invited to shop o&rly in the day, as the assistants are bo fully occupied attending to customers in the afternoon. The goods are all removed to the City Hall Arcade, and are being sold by Garlick and Cranwell, Drapery Clothiers and House Furnishers, Queen-stree

Fire at Papakura

OH Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock Mr R. Stewart's house at Kerikeri, Papakura, was discovered to be on fiie, and before any assistance could be given by the neighbours it was burnt to the ground. Mrs Stewart was hanging clothes on the green, and instructed liar young boy to light a lire in order to get her husband's tea, who was away>t work at Hunua at the time. Nothing| was saved from the building, and what is worse some bank notes' and money were also lost. The house was fortunately insured for £40 iv one of our local officol.

MORE GOLD DISCOVERIES.

• HAMILTON, this day. Tnli Prospectors' reef has been cut in the adjoining claim, number one South. Gold is scon in the stone.

A half share in the Who'd- Have-Thought It sold at £40.

Two tons of quartz and all the specimen* from the Prospectors Were sent to the Thames on Saturday tor crushing. A good yield is expected, as the last specimens were very lich.

[FROM OUR OWN COItKESPONDENT.I

RICH SPECIMENS IN PROSPECTORS'

CLAIM,

December 3,

Yesterday afternoou, wheu it became known that rich specimens had becu taken from the Prospectors' reef, there was a great deal of excitement amongst the iniucrs. It was generally understood that the cap of the reef had been covered up, and the sudden uncovering and extraction of the precious mstal by Mr Corbett, the manager pro tent., took theni by surprise. A num. per of parties having an eye to business immediately after the specimens bad been brought down aud exhibited, pegged out fresh business sites, and eighteen wero taken up. Having been kindly offered ilie use of the " Thames Star ' pigeon by Mr MbCullough, I was enabled to at once forward the news to Auckland that the Prospectors reef bad been uncovered and gold showing, the richer specimens coniina to baud after the pigeon had started. The find is oa the right hand side of the cutting, aud is important on account of the shot of gold not being expected on that side. It has . been currently reported that Mr Adam Porter had disposed of the most of his interest iv the Prospectors, but he informs me that he has not parted with one share, and is still the largest holder in the mine.

THE STORES.

A few thousand feet of timber having arrived has enabled the carpenters to start creeling several stores. Two or three enter prising parties have commenced business in their tents. The bargo towed up by the steamer Mem Sahib last evening unfortunately through some means sank, and a considerable quantity of goods have been damaged. They are now fishing the cargo out of the hold. Mr Corbett, who has charge of the Prospectors' mine, is about to hand it over to Mr Moore, Mr Corbett's business at Waitekauri compelling him to return to that district.

OUR TOWN CRIER

The redoubtable Mr Garrish, of Ohine muri memory, professor of the melodious art of tiutiuabuluru; is of course one of the, if not the most, celebrated personages at Te Aroha. Nearly every evening he rings out the news that a meeting is about to take place—one uight to urge upon the Govern ment the absolute necessity of a telegraph; another night a railway, and this evening we are going in for a road right straight through to the Thames. I hear that a bridge is about to bo erected orer the river. This will be a great boon to all, and conduce largely to the immediate progress of the township. At present foot passengers and horses have to cross in the punt, and the vehicles left on the other side.

Latest- from Te Aroha.

Two tons of ordinary stone and one cwt. picked stuff wore sent down from the Pros pectors' Claim, iTe Aroha, on Saturday. Mr Porter received a telegram this afternoon to the effect that the crushiug at the Alburnia battery is looking well.

Serious Fire at Kumara.

BY TKLEGKAPH, PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

SEVERAL BUILDINGS DESTROYED,

KUMARA, Saturday. A DISASTROUS fire occurred hero at 3 o'clock this morning. It commenced in Morris's Ross Hotel, Scddon-ftrcet, which was burned down, also Mr Davis, tailor, Mr Holmes, tent-maker, Mr Babor, iruiterer's, premises and small shop. The origin of the fire is unknown. At present no insurance on any of the buildings destroyed is known. The fire was confined to tne houses burnt after great exertions by the firemen and the public. A heavy gale was blowing at the time. Most of the sufferers have been left nothing. The European and Bank hotels were severely scorched, and with great difficulty were saved.

THE DOMAIN.

Owing to the strenuous exertions of several members of the leading Cricket Clubs, and others interested in this noble game, a very handsome and commodious pavillion has been erected on a pleasant site in the Domain commanding a capital view of the entire ground. It is also further intended by the promoters to have the building fenced in and seats capable of accommodating several hundreds of people erected outside, and which will extend from the green sward upwards to the pavillion itself. In all probability these arrangements will be completed in time for the arrival of the celebrated Australian Cricketers, whose coming may be expected about the beginning of February or there abouts. It may be confidently expected that thousands of people will watch with considerable interest the friendly contests with the Auckland cricketers. Too much cannot be said in praise of those by whose exertions this handsome building has been erected. They are certainly making a step in the right direction, as it will doubtless lead to the various improvements which the Domain stands so much in need of.

CRICKET MATCHES.

On Saturday a match was played between Otahuhu Cricket Club and Onehunga United on the ground of the latter Club, which resulted in aa easy victory for One hunga. The scores were —For Otahuhu : Wilmot, 9; W. Porch, 2; F. Porch. 0j C. Bowden, jun.,s ; H. McClennan, 3 ; Veitch, 0 ■ Wallis, 2 ; Martin, 2 ; Joughin, 1; A. Porch, 8. Extras, 8. Total, 40. For One hunga : Mahoney, 0; Barr, 11; Brown, 0; Potter, 1; Joe Brennan, 30; M. Brennan, 11 (not out); J. BreUnan, 1: D. Donovan, 3 ; Daby, 12; .Eastwood, 0. Extras, 4. Total, 73. A second innings was com menced, but bad not timn to finish, A one innings match was played on Saturday on the Otahuhu ground between Otahuhu (2nd eleven) and Unehunga (2nd eleven), and resulted in a victory for One huuga by three runs, For Otahuhu, Waters and Kyan went to the wicket twice to make up the eleven. The scores are— Otahuhu : Waters, 1 ; Kyan, 8 ; Doakes, 0 j Whitraore, 3; Brady, 2 ; Jackson, 3; J. Ryan, 1 ; Carruth, 12 (not out); Bcavan, 4 ; Kyan, 7 ; Waters, 4; extras, 2. Total, 47.

The cricket match played between the Church ot England Grammar School and the Newmarket United resulted m a victory for the former, L. Goffe and McDonald making top scores for their respective sides. To the editor: Sir,—On Saturday last, at Onehunga, I had the pleasure of witness ing one of the best contested and heartiest games of cricket I hive seen in Auckland. There was some really good play on both pides, and it was all payed with good heart; but when the match was over (which resulted in a defeat for the visitors) a most uncalled for proceeding took place on their (the visitors') part. The ciptain of the winning team called upon his men for three cheers for the defeated team, which were heartily given, but, immediately responded to by their captain calling on his men for three jgroans for the victors, which were also heartily given. Now, surely such a proceeding is a gross breach of all courtesy, as well as of the line of cricketing spirit. In the interest of the game, I hope the like will not be seen again iv Auckland, at least, —I am, &c, Spectator.

Au article in an exchange is headed " Sui cide of a Locomotive." Owing to ft '' tender " attachment, probably. It should have been "switched" oftener when young.

There was a furious north-west wilid on Saturday and yesterday, but the crops are not forward enough to bo much damaged.

Notes from Te Awamutu.

AUUIVAL GF THE UISHOP,

Ta Awamotu, Dec. 3. Pursuant to advertisement and notice, a garden party was held here this evening at the parsonage grounds, in order to give settlers an opportunity to join in welcoming Bishop Cowie on his visit here.

The trays were provided by the following ladies:—Mrs Hunt and Miss Hunter, Mes dames Carley, Gillios, limes, and Gresham. According to the advice and dir ection of the Rcy. Mr Phillips, pro vision had been made for one hundred and fifty persona. Owing to various causes only about Bcvcnty-threo persons were present. lWks are bogiuning to realise the fact that our late parson, the Rev Mr Brady, has, by his removal, caused ft gap amongst us which is not easily tilled up. The vacancy can indeed bo occupied, but the material which supplies it is not necessarily of a very palatable character. At the hall, in the evening, his Lordship, the Bishop, gave a most cutcrtainingaud instru ctive lecture on the late war in AfguanUtau. Addressed, as it was, to a warlike people ouch as we arc hereabouts—it was specially interesting. A few musical selections follo wed, among which the old eleeof "Chough and Crow " was very pleasingly rendered. Mrs Andrews, our new contralto, favoured us with " Katie's Lotter."

FOUNDATION STONE AT KIHI KIHI.

The Bishop will lay the foundation stone of the new church at Kiln Kihi at noon to morrow (Saturday). In the evening his Lordship will assist at a social gathering at Alexandra. On Sunday he will hold seivice and confirmation at To Awamutu, and proceed towards Raglan in the evening, where great preparations aie being made for his arrival.

ACCLIMATISATION SOCIETY.

The monthly meeting of the Acclimatisa tion society took place this afternoon. There were present: Messrs R. C. Barstnw (chairman), J. Burtt, T. MacH'urlanc, and the Hon. H. Chamberlain.

Financial Statement.— The Secretary submitted the following financial state ment :— Curator, month's salary, £9 8a 4d ; bird food, etc., 38s 5d ; wages at Gardens, £33 Cs; Otaf>o Acclimatisation Society for trout ova, £25; Craig, £5 Us 7d ; raiscella neous payments, £3 8s 7d. 'lotal, £78 159 lid, Balance in bank after paying the above amount, £186.— In answer to Mr burtt, the Secretary ex plained the reason of such a largo amount being put down for wages this month. —A general discussion ensued, in the course of which great dissatisfaction was expressed at the state of the gardens. The Chairman said he had recently gone through the Conservatory and he had been very much dissatish'ied indeed with what he saw. The fernery which had been commenced such a long time ago was not yet finished, and the show of stove plants was exceedingly poor. —After some further discussion, it was re solved upon the motion of Mr Macffarlane, seconded by the Hon. H. Chamberlain— "That the Garden Committee be requested to inquire into the state and management of tue gardens, and if not satisfied to take steps to secure a new curator."

Nsw Boiler.—.A memo, from the Curator stated that a new boiler for the propagating house was required. The price would be about £12.—The matter was referred to the Gardens' Committee, with a view of ascertaining if the boiler can be locally .manufactured. STARLINGS.— The Secretary reported that iv accordance with instructions he had forwarded a shipment of starlings to Opotiki per Glenelg.—Mr Burtt said that he had been recently informed that the star lings were agents in the propagation of the sheep scab. They frequented the backs of diseased sheep in their search for tick, and iri flying from one to another they spread the infection.—The Chairman thought that it was in quite another way altogether that these birds were proving a nuisance. They built about the eaves and roofs of houses, and accumulated vermin, which never failed to find an entrance within the dwellings.

ACCOUHT3.—The usual accounts were passed for payment. The meeting then dissolved.

"My sweetest, my own darling, you know—you must have seen that you are all there is in life to me. " "Please don't. Please don't be bo awful." "Can you doubt that I love you? You know you are my religion, my lifo here, my hope hereafter " " Don't be so terrible. You are perfectly awfully terrible." "But, my soul, you are my eyesight. There is no fragrance in the air if you turn from me. I am walking death without you." "Oh I you scare me so. iou aro so fearfully horrible in your talk." "Be mine, my sky, my solar system. Be my wife,! my sweetest." "Oh ! you horrible man. You are perfectly honible, awfully awful." And then she flops over and mussos his shirt bosom.

That isn't the way you did it, when you were her age, ia it gentle reader ?

"The first bashful kiss," said Mr Blubbs mournfnlly, " twicks like a busted soap bubble, it's so faint, don't you see ; but the good-by kiss," he added, as he wiped away a tear, "often sounds like the ripping of a clapboard off an empty woodshed."
