The fiftieth anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Morriii, of Auckland, was celebrated on Friday last. Mr. and Mb. Morrin were married in St. Matthew's Church, Auckland, on Julv 19, 18li2, by the late Rev. David Jones. They celebrated their golden wedding at Otahnlm in the midst of a circle of relatives extending well iuto the third generation. In the early days Mr. Morriii was a well-known business man in Auckland, and during the whole period of fifty years Mrs. Morrin, a talented soprano vocalist, has been a. conspicuous figure in musical circles, and an earnest and unsalfish participant ill church work. The celebration on Friday included a special service at Holy Trinity Church, Otahuhu, which was conducted by the Rev. H. Mason. At its conclusion, the reverend/ gentleman presented Mr. and Mrs. Morriii with a ccngratul-itovy address, signed by . the churchwardens and vestrymen of Holy Trinity Church and the. heads of the several societies connected with church work in which it was said that -"the past fifty years of Mr. and Mrs. Morrin's life had been one continuous calendar full of records done iu God's service and for the good of the Church." 'During the day complimentary and congratulatory letters and telegrams were received in scores from old friends in Auckland district and thronglnut the Dominion.

Geddis, of Napier, -while Misses Clarice and Lily Morrin are still unmarried. The sons are Mr. - L. M. Morrin, of Cambridge, 'Mr. Gnrsley Morrill, of Wanganui, and -Mr. Vincent Morrin, of Otahuhu. Arbor Day Heroines. Those of the residents below the Kelbiitne Heights who happened to survey the prospect from their windows on. Saturday morning must have bad their curiosity mildly, excited by the spectacle of "nine ' devoted women, ono small boy, and two dogs. bravely enjoying the buffetings of rain and wind in their efforts' to plant same trees. It was a sight to rouse, enthusiasm, even while it chilled the senses and made the hardiest pause. The winter was ■at its worst, the site one of the most exposed in the city, yet— I "Their's not to reason why, Their's but to plant and die." The gallant band, led by Miss Mary Seaton, cheered only by a chorus of admiration from the two dogs, faced frostbite, influenza and the imminent danger of being blown by the wind into the depths of the gully below in order that their ideals of Arbor Day might be fulfilled. If the future generations who enjoy the leafy branches of a plantation of black birch on the hillside express but some grateful thought to the memory of the pioneer tree-planters they will ! feel that their efforts for the pleasure or -posterity will not have been in yain. Madame Kirkby Lunn, Cable news on Saturday chronicled the departure from London of Madame Louise Kirkby Lunn for Australia: This is the_ bigge.it item of musical news heard for a long lime, as Madame Lunn is the premier English contralto of the present day.

MATTERS OF INTEREST FROM FAR AND/NEAR.

Obituary. The sudden ilealh of Mr--. T. Hancock. .;<l her residence, Carlton Gore lioad, on Jhurs.lay evening last, removed another of Auckland's old identities from the fastilecrca.Miig ]i-t. The deceased latlv came out to New Zealand in ISIK, on the ship Romulus, and joined her sister, Mrs. Hloomfield, sen., at Turanganui, the site of the piT.-eut town of CiUbornc. in November, ISOS, the family had a narrow escape from being included in the Povertv Bay mn«.'icrr. Fortunately they were warned in time of Te Kooti's raid bv a fiiendly Maori, and lied, whilst the neighbouring houses were being destroyed. On her coming h. Auckland, she married Mr. Thomas Hancock, the founder of the firm of Hancock and Company. Since her hushalid's death in 1893. the deceased had lived a retired life, endearing herself to many friends by her unostentatious kindness, and the nobility of her character. By quiet acts of charity, known only to those whom she benefited, she earned the love and gratitude of people of all classes. Her death is a loss to those, as well as to her immediate relatives. The latter include her sister, Mrs. Blooiufield, the Messrs. Hloomtield and Steggall, and the family of her late husband. Books for the Backblocks. A correspondent who read in Saturday's issue of The Dominion the article dealing with the heroism and trials of the back-blocks women of Ibis country, writes that in his travels, women, the wives of the. way-back settlers, havo come under his notice who have deserved gold medals for the lives they live, unknown and unseen by. city dwellers. Ho goes on to say:— I would respectfully suggest that, their town sisters could help to make their country cousins' lives brighter by giving them some of their surplus reading matter, magazines, etc. They ore often burnt when read in a city. They could be sent to the backblocks' G.P.O. postmaster. I feel sure he or she would only be too hippy to act as librarian. The settlers' wives and children, also men, wlio are working amongst them would all appreciate their kindness. Reading matter of any kind makes dull nights endurable, and helps to pass a pleasant time round the log fire. Tlease give the matter due consideration and do. what yon can through your paper.—l .jm, etc.,

CONSTANT READER. In Australia tho matter has been taken up with enthusiasm, great parcels and boxes of books, papers, and magazines being sent into the back country for tic pleasure of the people who nre nway froni libraries, bookshops and all such places. The Victoria League in Sydney is a. particularly active agent in such matters. Anyone who has been in the backblocks at oil knows the avidity with which all reading matter is seized upon when time at all allows it. "Constant Reader's" suggestion is one that causes but little trouble to anyone ana yet might bo tho means of giving much pleasure to many of our country cousins. Golf.
