Waiotahi Goldmining Company pay a dividend of 2s 6d per sTiare. v?fn ?' f t \? ill shorfcly g°es 80uth on a Y.M.CA "Mission." oMuhKijpal elections over ; the City Coun cil has lost its " parson." _ The idea that an American citizen has no right to act on an Auckland body influenced the electors. i " Pa*.;< " and pleasure.—Mr Payne, the pyrotechnist, is arranging to give Auck landers a treat at Christmas. It is rather a " Hazard "-ous sport, but will be carefully managed. A Colonel Haultain has resigned his ap pointment as an unofficial member of the Kepresentation Commission. The R.M. at Blenheim refused to find tha owner of a steamer liable for an amount due by the providore. Williamson, the supposed photographic forger of bank notes at Dunedin, has been remanded. - The Hon. John Ballance is back at Wan ganui, and still talks of coming to Auck land before the general election. Wellington papers say that his utterance on the Trades Hall question is very like a bribe to the electors of the colony. The following locaL volunteer appoint ments are gazetted :—Ponsonby Navals, D. Miller to be Lieutenant; Waitemata Navals, H. A. H. Hitchens to be Captain j "A" Battery of Artillery, G. C. Gilmour to be Lieutenant; Hobson Rifles, H. E. Night ingale to be Lieutenant. The Auckland Political Financial Reform Association may claim the honour of having one of its earliest members elected for the new Parliament. Perseverance is at last rewarded, as Mr Sydney Tai.yfcanga, M.H.R., has tried to get into the 'louse for more than twenty years. ...... ; The Mayor of Wellington is demonstrat ing that the lighting of the Empire City could be more cheaply and effectively done by electricity than by gas. A house and bakery at Otaki, Welling ton, were burned down yesterday. They were owned by Mr Alexander Small, and leased by Mr Thomas Harrison. The appointment of the following local postmasters has been gazetted :—J. Hard wick at Ellerslie, Isabel Morvissy at Mata mata, G. McPherson at Matata, W. P. Williams at Morrinsville, F. O'Connor ab Panmure, B. McCurdy at Papakura, T. R. Houghton at Paptoetoe, W. J. Edwards at Waitakerei.

A marriage has been arranged between Sir Henry Doughty Tichborne, of Tichborne Park, Hampshire, and Miss Gwendoline Petre, second daughter of Mr and Lady Gwendoline Petre, of Whitley Abbey, War wickshire. w-ra_* Concession to lovers of sport.—lt is an nounced in the "Gazette" that Oh the New Zealand milways second-class Satur day return tickets, availablftofor first-class carriages, will be issued to football, cricket, tennis, and bowling teams of not less than fifteen members. This regulation takes eflect on and aft*, the 12th instant. Mr Withy la«. night tried to make a point out of the C-ieaji John taking £4,000 out of the colony. Some of the electors! think they should have "protection"! against such practices, and no more " free trude "in £5 watches for 30s. • j A poor woman at Grimsby, England, has been an invalid and confined to her bel for ' fifty years. The case having been brought before the Queen, her Majesty sent a cheque for £3 for the "old lady who had spent a jubilee in patient sutlering." '" I
