Birmingham Notes

I FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.! The Leap Year ball of the bachelors of Birmingham and the surrounding districts on Friday evening, promises to be a great success as the proceeds, after paying necessary expenses, are to be given to a most worthy cause, and it is to be hoped that all who can do so will attend on the occasion. ' On Saturday evening the Kiwitea : Literary Society are to give a representation of the famous trial for " Breach of Promise " (not " divorce "as stated som9 time since in the Advocate. Any ordinary person knows that Dickins never introduced into his works anything that would in any way be at all indecent or offensive, so that it was going far out of the way to state a thing that is not true). The actors have had several rehearsals and on the evening some good genuine harmless honest fun may be expected. The weather up here has been very rough, but a much desired change has set in which may help to bring on the crops and fruit trees in this district, as at present they are not showing much progress. I am sorry to say our respected storekeeper and postmaster, it is feared, will have to dispose of his business owing to continued ill health. He has struggbd hard but the district evidently is not suited to his constitution. I see that the secretary of the cricket club is appealing to the members to pay up their subscriptions as the money is urgently wanted to meet claims due for work done on the practice ground — " a nod is as good as a wink."
