Campbelltown Notes.

» [from oue own correspondent, j The mission meeting held in the Primitive Methodist Church last Sunday by the scholars of the Sunday School was a great success. Master John Glover occupied the chair, and Gilbert Riley gave an address. Miss B. Jarvis acted as organist, and Misses Ransom, , D. Jarvis, E. Mitchell, and Baker gave recitations, solos by Misses Glover and Mitchell. The Rev J. Cocker and Mr Glover (superintendent) also gave addresses. The collection amounted to 18s 7d, which is considered extremely good, considering the wet afternoon we had last Sunday. The funeral of Mr Stark's youngest daughter took place yesterday. A goodly number of friends joined in the cortege, and a very impressive ceremony was gone through at the grave. We all tender our sincere sympathy to Mrs and Mr Stark in their sad bereavement. A few weeks ago while Miss S. Hickford was cleaning the room in which the sewing guild is held by the ladies of the Church of England every Thursday, she had the misfortune to run a needle into tlie palm of lier hand, immediately under the thumb, the needle entered her haud, for an inch and a half and then broke off. Siie has consulted a surgeon, who objects t4 lance the hand owing to the many veins in close proximity to where the neejdle vow remains. We all feel very sorry for Miss Hickford, as she endures great; pain and is unable to do anything. She was the most enthusiastic worker in the guild and her courteous manner has won her the esteem of all who visit the afternoon teas. Much sickness seems to be our lot here. Mrs Mitchell, who has been ailing for some mouths, lies in a very weak condition, and Mrs Simpson, who has been suffering from consumption for some time, is also in a very precarious condition.
