Mr Larnach. ) Star monthly Summary for the outpoint? mail will be published to-morrow KS Lord Salisbury says that "profound! peace is assured in Europe !. May be so; but it takes a man of great profundity to recognise the glorious fact' 1 eace is assured in Tonga, for the alii-1 ance between the Bible and Beer has now: been competed.

Mr Bentley, late of Auckland,; is licensee. j Mr William Shanaghan is appointed! clerk at the Onehunga Court; and Mr T : Kirk to be clerk of the Court at Cambridge and Tamahere. ft The young Earl of Shaffcesbury, grandson ot the great philanthropist, is now on a' visit to Sydney. The leading butcher in Wellington is a A relic of barbarism I suppose; a sur vival from the time when all barbers were butchers - surgeons, I mean. Very cold weather, and very "well assorted" too; rain, hail, snow and sleet' tell at Dunedin yesterday. The " brutal game " keeps true to name. I Awo men seriously wounded during the' match at Wellington yesterday. ' Canterbury boys thought they could have an easy '< canter » to victory, but the windy: \\ elhngtomans proved they had somethino else than " blow " in them. ** Football should encourage perseverance ; if players don't attain their " goal" they " try, try, try again." i Will His Worship the Mayor of Auck lrnd grant a half-holiday for the Auckland-' Canterbury match on Wednesday next ?

Thecoeoanut crop at Vavau this year is . expected to yield 2,000 tons of copra, andl the crop from Tongatabu will also be good. Mark OToole is missing, and is supposed to be drowned in theMokihinui Kiver, near Westport. Mr Alexander Gray, of Margaret-street,, Sydney, proposes that the Centennial shall be marked by the erection of a large and handsome building. He also suggests i that the funds for this work should b©[ raised by means of a gigantic state lot tery, embracing, say, 500,000 lots of LI! Is each, of which L 325,000 should be re-: turned in prizes ranging in amounts from L 25,000 to LlO.
