Owing to the date as originallj fixed for the County elections felling on the Prince of YT dee Birthday, the elections throughout the colony hayebcen postponed, to the. 16th in* •tan*.' : At tbe lijellßM. Court on Tuesday Constable Brown was fined £3, and 33s costs, for using language calculated tp proToke a "breach of the peace to Jno. McDonnell. It appears plaintiff characterised a banquet party held the previous evening as 'low, mean crawlers' Defendant called him a liar. Plaintiff replied that defendant was a liaj. The Utter then threw off foia coat and challenged plaintiff to figbt. The STehon Mail says, 'Some twelve months ago, it was declared to be necessary, owing to the diminished receipts from tfce Government, to make yery considerabl re* (factions, in tbe teachers' salaries. Now hp^ever, it appears that tip Education Board have been by no meant sh,ort pf funds i while they have been putting the screw P,n the teachers with one hand they have beon boarding with the other. What hat been deducted from the salaries hfl» been placed at deposit in the $ank and been yielding interest, and now at the close of the year which has been so disastrous a one tp the teachers, the Board actually has the earn of nearly £19,00 lying at deposit, some £600 of which, if we understand the position rightly, represents $he actual savings pf the year/ • ...... The pight watchman of Brieg, in, Silesia, Prussia, while performing his usual roqnds, observed a light burning inside the village church at the hour of I a.m. He straighway awoke the beadle and called that official's atr tention to the suspicious appearance. Having hastily collected together a sufficient force of ttout-hearted parishioners, be proceeded to search its interior in person. The chancel of Brieg Church, it appears, is adorned by life-pfee effigies of the twelve appstlai. For some time the investigation proved altogether fruitless, when all of a sudden the watchman nudged his companion and whispered : ' Look how one* of the apostles \s waggling about ! See. there are thirteen apostles instead of twelve, and the extra one has got a moleskin cap on.' It was discovered that the thirteenth apostle was a sacreligious rascal who had seoreoted himself in the church at the time pf its dosing, with a view tp mating a clean sweep of the communion plate. At the opening of the Supreme Court Auckland, recently, tbe Judge said:— Ten prisoners are charged with fourteen offences With the exception of four, viz., two of rape, one of sodomy, and one of indecent assault, none are of a very serious character, There was also a case of sending a letter threatening to murder, and another of sweating coin. Eight of tbe prisoners are Maoris. Arthur Duke, for larceny, was sentenced to nine months True bills : Butterworth, larceny ; Irewia, larceny as a bailee ; Iwi Ngaro, breaking and entering. Tbe Wellington Poet commenting on the results of last session says — ' That the re* suits of the want of confidence debate in which Mr Qrouond appeared % the first time, as leader of (be Opposition, is not to be measured by the narrpw majority of four which retained Ministers in power, few will dispute. It was the first bold endeavour to emancipate the Opposition party from Greyite thraldon. Hitherto, all attempts to, attack the Government have been ludicrous failures, simply because the presence of Sir George Grey and the impossibility of ignoring him in any conceivable combination bare beep fatal points of weakness. Now, however, for toe first time since the present Government have been fairlj settled on the Treasury benches, we have seen a strong, compact, and formidable assault made on ther position, and defeat only Very narrowly averted. 1 Telegrams from America say that Irieb agitators there are maddened at the stern action pf the Irish Executive, and threaten reprisals. Sir George Grey .is. disinclined to seek reelection for any constituency, bqt is organising operations of his party. Pojajbly bo may wait till the general elections a,re over, and accept a wat to be resigned by some complainant partisan.
