Anniversary services in connection with Beresford-street . Congregational Sunday school take place on Sunday next: public tea meeting on Tuesday evening. Fiji colonists rejoice in the fact that the Cobden Club have decided to form a sub committee for taking action with a view to securing a more popular form of govern ment for the colonies now governed as Crown colonies.

An American paper published the follow ing startling news from its London corres pondent :—" London, February 23rd.— Advices from Tonga show that considerable excitement still exists over the punishment of the men convicted for the assault of Missionary Baker. A corvette and two gunboats have been sent by Portugal to re enforce the Governor of Mozambique in his bombardment of Tonga,"

An influential meeting of citizens was held at Christehurph last night, under, the presidency of the Mayor, to make pre liminary arrangements for the United Fire Brigades' demonstration next Friday. A strong committee was appointed under the chairmanship of Mr W. p. Harris, formerly superintendent of the Fire Brigade. The French Avar ship Deoies called at Fiji for the purpose of taking away an im pecunious old Frenchman.

Nearly all the Otago and Southland mem - bers"left for Wellington yesterday, most of them going by express where they would take* steamers to the Capital. It is currently reported in Levuka that the North German steamei* Lubeck is going to run to Fiji and to make that port its calling place, running thence direct to Sydney. Capt. Beaton, of the barque Peru, has been acquitted at Wellington of the charge of rescuinghis cook from the custody of a de tective. It will be remembered that the detective boarded the vessel in pursuit of the cook, and the skipper threatened to carry him to sea. Mons. Violette, the oldest French mis sionary in the South Seas, died at Apia, Samoa, on August 14th, aged 77 years. All the German fleet paid their respects to the departed with their flags at half-mast all day. Fortune knocks once at every man's door; but she doesn't go hunting the public houses for him, if the man happens to be out.

The mongoose has been introduced into Fiji, where it is increasing at an alarming rate. Fowls and their eggs are decreasing in proportion. . At a meeting of the Central Board of Health at Wellington yesterday morning it was determined not to take any extra precautions on account of the outbreak of small-pox in Tasmania. The latest story of "persecution" in Tonga is supplied "by a Vavau correspond ent, who asserts that one of the Wesleyan ministers in Tongatabu was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, which he is yet serving, for simply stating that, when in Auckland, Mr Baker went to the Wesleyan Church. "Yes," said Fogg, "as a success I have always been a failure, but as a failure I have been an unqualified success." "Mamma," said Harry, "what's the dif ference between 'goose' and 'geese?'" " Wliy, don't you know?" interposed four year-old'Ahhie.' '.'.One-geese is goose, and a whole lot of gooses is geese."

' : ' :::r "'" Public Notices: ; a DV.IC E T 0 LADIES. The Ladies of Auckland are now casting about for their new SPRING AND SUMMER DRESSES. The two considerations that weigh of most importance may be said to be—Ptc_ and Price. A word of timely advice, therefore, may :not bo out of place. Look around well before buying. Dozens of Ladies select at first sight only to disappoint themselves by seeuig an article a few days after that would be much preferred and often at a lower figure. For instance, a lady remarked only a couple of days since. " Did you see that charming and magnificent lot of prints at Abbott's in Newton i 1 feel quite vexed that I have bought." These were tho actual Words uttered, and wo fear will bo the sentiments of notafew, as they reviow the stock now showing * at the above-named's establishment. In refer once to which R, H. ABBOTT & CO. wish to say that they have searched the markets in every direction to coahle them to place before their patrons a choice, profuse, and unwearying variety of Prints. Hats, Bonnets, and Summer Goods in general, all at as reasonable a figure as it is possible for them to bo got for money. We have now over 1,000 designs in new Prints, and our Stock will be replenished by Novelties by each steamer. We further beg to inform our well-wishers that, notwithstanding the un dented badness of the times, our trade shows an increase of from 50 to 70 rer cent, month by month upon last 5 o*ir's trade. This is a great proof to us of public encouragement of our endeavours to place before tho public an EXCELLENT VARIETY OF GOODS at the Lowest Obtainable Figure for Cash, and encourages us to still further efforts on behalf of our patrons. It has never been a part of our policy to deceive the public in the slightest degree by large advertisements announcing bogus reductions, etc. If we announce a Cheap Line, our customers can bear us out that it has never been over-described. We hope this season to open out from time to tune Lines as Astonishing as Heretofore, of which announce ment will bo «iven. Besides ottering Good Value and a Splendid Assortment of Prints, Millinery, and Season Goods in general, we have Just Opened a Job Line of Boys. Youths', and small Mens Flax Shirts of Good Quality, at Is. each. The regular value of these is fully from Is. 3d. to 2s. 6d.. at R. H. ABBOTT & CO., Karangahape Road, and Upper Symonds-street
