MORE FIRES IN THE SOUTH.

(BY TELKORAPH-PRESB ASSOCIATION.)

INVERCARGILL, this day. A big fire occurred at Winton last evening. Kilpatrick's auction room and McLeod's boot • shop were destroyed. The flames were first observed from the centre ot the auction room, in which, it is said, no fire had been lighted tor six weeks. White's hotel was saved with difficulty, and the progress of the tire was only stayed by a brick building. McLeod was not insured, and it is not known if Kilpatrick is. Kilpatrick's stock was insured for £170 iv the Standard, and the building (which belongs to Mr Robertson, of Invercargill) for £350 in the North British, McLeod's shop for £300 in the Norwich Union.

CHORAL HALL.-M. CARON'S CANTATA.

THE performance of M. Caron's eelcbroted prize cantata is proceeding at the Choral Hall as we go to press. In consequence, doubtleßß, of the unsettled sfa'c of tho weather, the attendance is meagre. Tho full strength of the Montague-Turner Opera Company is present, and the Phil harmoDic Society is also well represented, while several performing members of the Crural Society are likewise giving their assistance. M. Caron conducts in person. A general desire is expressed that the cantata should be repeated at night, but as the company have to leare for Welling ton on Thursday next, that can hardly be done, unless one of the regular operatic performances is suspended.

At the time, June 0, when she lost her clothe?, she was living in Cook-street. Her clothes-Hoe, linen, and pegs were all taken. The line w»s cut at both ends from the posts. She saw and recognised the greater portion of her pi operty at the police station. Some was still missing. She estimated the value at £3.— John Stanhope Bernard, of the Auckland Constabulary, deposed to searching pri soner's house in Lower Hepburn-street oii fie 23rd December last. He found the pro perty in the house which had been identi fied by Mis Flynn. Prisoner said he brought the things from his native town in Germany. The clothes-line had been cut.— Prisoner was next charged with stealing sheets, dresses, shirts, etc, on the 31st Dec, the property of Win. O'Brien.—Mary O'Brien, wifo of Wm. O'Brien, of Nelson street, deposed that on the 31st January flic lost twu lines of clothes from her garden, lines, pegs, etc. She bad seeu some of the stolen articles at the police-station. The marks on the towels and handkerchiefs had been cut out, The value was about £3.— Prisoner was next charged with stealing a quantity of dressed timber, fillings, and sheets of corrugated iron, in the month of November, value, £10 19s, the property of Thomas Wills Maunders, builder, of Auck land.—Prisoner pleaded not guilty.—Mr Pardy said he could only produce samples of the stolon timber, as the whole of the loads would take up too much room.—Thomas W. Maunders deposed that in November last he was bnilding a house in Napier street, Was continually missing dre.-sed timber—ia all, 1,500 feet. One night his grindstone went, also two sheets of corrugated iron. He saw a considerable quantity of his timber at Zanc's house, and in hunting for the timber the grindstone was discovered under the corrugated iron. He should estimate his loss at £12 or so.— Zanc (-aid ho would plead guilty to stealing the grindstone, but not to the other articles. —John Dennis Koth, carpenter, deposed that ho resided in Wakefield-strcct, In November he was working for Mr Maunders in Napier-street. He recog nised the grindstone and a portion of the timber he used at the ouilding.— Mr Both informed tho Court that in con- Ecqvtenceof being subpoenaed as a witness in this case h$ had lost two days' work, and moat likely should lose his job altogether. Was there any redress under the circum stances. His Worship sympathised with witness, but could offer no consolation.— \Vm. Purdy, gardener, deposed that on the morning of the 24th, very early, he saw a little man, resembling the prisoner, carry ing timber from the building in Napier street to Zanc's yard in Hepbnrn-street.Saw him a second time; he came out, rubbed his eyes, looked about, and fetched another load. It was about 4 a.m. Believed Zanc was the man.—James Hincb, aged 14, residing near the building, knew Zanc, and had seen him taking timber. It was while the building was going up. It was at four or five ie the morning. He carried it to his own yard,— Constable Ber nard deposed to finding the property under the house.

Beating AN Heir.—John Stephens, senior, was charged on summons, with violently beating John Stephens on the head and face on the 14th inst.— Defendant said he certainly dressed Johnny, but bo deserved it.—Mr Pardy said this was not an ordinary case. The prisoner was under the influence of drink and creating a great amount of excitement in Wcllesley-street, in fact, there were cries of murder. The wife and son did not wish to punish the father, but it was neces sary to restrain' him. He would call the youth.-John Stephens, jun., deposed that his father came home at mid night. He was very drunk, but be did not wish to press the charge agaiDst his father.—William Beacb.residing next door, deposed that he was woke by cries of murder, got up, and went to see what was the matter.

Saw prisoner beat bis son. He was very wild. He arrested him for tho safety of his family. He was very violent. Did all he could to persuade him to be gaiet, but his eloquence was wasted,—Mr lipal said prisoner was sometimes angry; his great failing was drink.- His Worship said the father had no right to chastise the son under such circumstances.

NEW PLYMOUTH, this day. GOOD TEMPLARS GRAND LODGE,

The Grand Lodge of Good '.Templars hold a sitting yesterday afternoon when among other matters whjph came under considera tion was the question of founding a Tem perance Scholarship in connectionwith the New Zealand University. It was resolved to recommend the subject to the considera tion of the various Temperance Organisa tions in the colpny with a view of .raising the necessary funds. THE TAKANAKI BREAKWATER. Consulting Engineer Thomson in his re port on the New Plymouth harbour says : " The breakwater is finished for a length of; 405 feet. The work has been well and carefully don.c, and has stood without any perceptible sinking. An estimate of the cost of the work done from the Bth of Dec. to January 8 shows a very favourable mult— fifty four lineal feet of breakwater having been constructed, containing 1,069 yards of concrete, costing 25s IOJd per yard. In the block-yard, there are 205 yards extra blocks, costing 18s 2Jd per yard, and 227 yards of stone in the quarry, costing Is lOd. The Itcsident Hngineer, Mr Kliiud, forwards a report, which is very satisfactory, and bears out all Mr Thomson has stated.

CIIRISTCHUECH, this day,

Second Bay's Play.

(BY TELEGRAPH.— OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

DUfIEDIN, Friday night. After lunch, on resuming play, Mid winter cut Frith to the fence for 30. Bates drove him for 1. In the last ball of the over Bates cut Frith sharp into Ivic's hands in the slip?, but was dropped. In the same bowler's next over Bates skied him very high to square leg, when C. Frith endeavoured to secure it, but failed, owing' to the strong wind. Singles came pretty fast off both Frith aud McGregor, and then Bates tnrned a leg ball from the latter beautifully, and sent it to the scorer's box for 3. Bates received his dismissal, being bowled by R, Read, back from Frith—s-GG-122. Tho retiring bats man played brilliant innings, his G6 in cluding five 4's, six 3's, and live 2's. He received quite an ovation. On returning, Scutton, the left-handed batsman, joined Midwinter, who was playing a good defen sive cricket, occasionally getting a ball away to leg or through tho slips for runs. Frith now sent down live maidens in succession, but runs came slowly off McGregor, Scotton bringing 130 up by cutting him to the fence for 3. Ilaskell now took up the bowling in McGregor's pla'Je, 3 for a bye resulting from the last ball of the over, but in his next, Midwinter drove him well to the on, where Harris caught him splendidly close to the fence —6-9-134. Emmett waß the next man in, but played slower. Immediately Emmott was capitally caught by Craw shaw. None of the others call for remark. On the close of the innings, it was deter mined to play only for half an hour, on account of the wretched weather, aud wi;h a natural desire to spin out the match in order to secure a good crowd on Saturday afternoon. AVith the latter object Shaw put on Selby to bowl a.srainst the wind, whilst Ulyett commenced operations at the other end. Vernon had a piece of 'hard luck, as in putting one from Ulyett to short leg he was beautifully taken by Selby. Davenport and young Allan played out the time, several balls being thrown up to them in order to bring a score.

The attendance has not been large, and much comment is made at the action of the Caledonian Society in allowing members and their wives, sisters, cousins, and aunts, to come in on members' tickets. This accounts for the small takings—a trifle over £80, on the first day, when almost 3,000 were present.

LAKE TAKAPUNA.

ON Thursday evening last a pleasing and instructive entertainment took place at the Lake school-room in aid ot a fund for the erection of an Anglican Church for the dis trict, for which a suitable and centrally situated site ot two acres has been secured. The entertainment consisted of a limelight exhibition of a variety of English, Irish, American and other views by Mr Percy Smallfield, who gave an interesting description of the places represented, and whilst passing from one scene to another Mr Thos. Jones rendered some pleasing musical selections ontheharmonium. Both before and after the exhibition a well furnished Christmas tree and bazaar stall were liberally patronised by the visitors, and many purchases were made of the varied and useful articles, which had been contributed by Mrs and the Misses Whi takers Mrs Black, Mrs Bates, Mrs H. H. Lusk, Mrs Menary, Mrs O'XXeill, Miss Auld, Mr, D. Mackay, Mr Robertson, Mrs Garland, and Mrs and the Misses Seaman. The tree stall and refreshment table were pre sided over by the Misses Whitaker and Seaman, and Mrs Robertson. Altogether the evening was a very enjoyable one, and the proceeds amounted to about £17. The entertainment was opened by a few simple remarks from the Rev. J. Bates, and at the close Mr Seaman (under whose supervision the arrangements had been successfully carried out), on behalf of the trustees, thanked Messrs Smallfield aud Jones for thoir kind and gratuitous ser vices, and all present for their pat ronage, at the same tirno announcing that in three weeks' time, at February's full moon, an attractive concert would be held in tne school-room for the same object, at which the goods not dis posed of on the present occasion would be offered during tho interval between the first and second parts of the entertainment. The Key. F. G. Evans, the recently ordained minister tor the district, was pre sent, and was cordially received by the assembly.
