Chappie, of Tiger Hill, who is third on the list for the preliminary examinati-.n. At the annual meeting of subscribers to the Tuapeka Hospital a discussion ensued on what one member styled the invidious position members of committee were in who tendered for articles supplied the institution. Eventually a resolution was carried that no committee-man be a contractor to tender for supplies, or that the tender be not accepted. The Rev.

Harvesting has already commenced in the district. The lata fine weather has much improved' the appearance of the oat and wheat crops, and the harvest it is now expected will be much better than was at one time thought for. The turnip crops, however, are looking very bad, while with but few exceptions the potatoes, through being so frequently frosted, will be all but a failure. Mr Fache directs an to call special attention to his auction advertisements which appears in another coinmn. At the first statutory meeting of the Clyde School Committee held in the Schoolhouse on Friday evening last, Mr Hickson was appointed Chairman, and the Rev. Mr Clinton Secretary.
