Birmingham Notes

[feom oub own coioißSPosxmrr.J Birmingham, April 10. Oar School Committee are getting up s concert in aid of the School. It is to be* held in Mr Dnnn.s. woolshed, ae~ the school-room is too- small, and all tire desks are fast to the floor, which ii raised. I think it a great pity thai the schoolroom was not built with a level floor, asit would be a great convenience to a places like this to have a hall to .hold meetingsin. &c. The programme is not oat yet r , bat I hear some of the Halcombe talent will be. present, also the Kiwitea Mintrels. The affair comes off on Wednesday, the 24th, and promises to be a very good show; and it is to be hoped it will be well patronised,,as it is for a good cause. "We have another excitement coming: I on— the election of a School Committee, | but I don't expect there will be much } running for office, as most of the old Committee are tired of it : so they say, at. all events. The Feflding Block folks are in high glee over this £4000 the Board is going- to borrow, or try to borrow, to make roads, in the Block. It will be a grand thing: for them if they get it. One of the,setr •'". tiers is in favor of forming a committee (if they do get this loan), and appointing one of the members to sign cheques, and I am thinking about applying for the billet, but I am afraid the Board won't see it. We are haying grand weather up here, now for the time of year, but it is rather dry for the grass seed, and if we do not get rain soon feed will be a bit short this winter. . . A man fencing up here met with an accident the other day. He was on his way to his camp, and somehow or other he got over a bank and cnt his head. He went to Wanganui Hospital, but I have not heard bow he is doing.
