Campbelltown Notes

[FROM OC& OWN CORRESPONDENT.] A young lad, named Roger Wait, who is in the employ of Mr It. Hammond, had the misfortune, on Monday last, while > out mustering sheep, to be thrown violently to the ground off his horse. \ The lad fell on a manuka stnmp, which made a nasty gash on his arm. The wound was dressed, and the sufferer is now progressing favorably. The members of the Campbelltown Lawn Tennis Club held a special meeting in the schoolhouse on Monday evening last, when twenty. live were present. Mr Cooper wag elected President, Mr Jarvis Vice-President, and Mr Bownter Secretary and Treasurer. Other routine business i was gone through, and the Club intends opening on the 14th, with afternoon tea, provided by the ladies, to be followed by a social in the evening, with a supper provided by the gentlemen. It is to be hoped that the affair will be a success. The farmers have been very busy lately putting in crops. Now that fine weather j prevails labor is plentiful and men are Bcarce. Some of the farmers intend to start shearing next week, and good results are anticipated with the clip. The heayy gales on Monday last blew over a windmill, which Mr Hanaby had standing near his shop, and which had been made to the order of Mr Bennett, of Awahuri. Much of the ironwork was bent and made almost useless. I Another wedding took place here last week. The couple went to Wellington after the ceremony to spend their honey, moon. They returned on Tuesday evening, when there was a splendid amateur band awaiting to give them a cordial reception. The instruments were kerosene tins, whistles, accordeons, etc. After a tune or two had been played, the musicians were treated to the usual refreshments on such nn occasion, and went home highly pleased.
