In roply to a roquest from the Kumara Committee for the school at Dillmans to be kept opon until after the winter, tlie Canterbury Board resolved to intimate that the winter would probably be over before the teacher could bo transferred. At the mooting of the Canterbury Education Board last week, a quantity of correspondence' was read in connection with the appointment of a teaenei for Awatuna School, and, after discussion. it was agreed to confirm Miss Hogan’s appointment, the 'Board to appoint a Commissioner to look after the school. The body of Les Darcy, the Australian boxer, reached Sydney on June 26. The landing of the heavy oasket was witnessed by a largo crowd, which formed a_procession to the mortuary. An enormous number of people viewed the body during the day nnd night, as it lay in state (says the “Daily Telegraph”). In the evening it was estimated that 2500 persons were hourly passing through the mortuary. At about 0 o’clock the crowd became so dense that an extra body of police had to be called out to handle the traffic. Admirers of the dead boxer crowded so tightly in front of tho mortuary that two largo plate-glass windows were broken. While the Ilinemoa', the Government lighthouse ship, was lying off Waiheke Island tho other evening an interesting incident happened (says the “Poverty Bay Herald”). The wife of a lighthouse keeper, who was on board heard splashes, uni she raised th 0 alarm. These splashes were caused by a rat jumping through a porthole and the ship’s eat going after'it. There was great com sternation on the ship to rescue the cat. AIL hands c-ame on deck. Some .climbed overboarl with a rope and did their best to save the cat. The skipper Captain Hooper, called out to the boatewain to “tit; a rope on a InickGt.” The boatswain did so, and gathered in pussy hut when ho went to puli the bucket the knot came undone. Ho has lost all Ids prestige amongst the crow. Ultimately the cat was rescued, much to tho relief and joy of all on board- We are not informed as to the fate of the rat. By the last mail a soldier in France wrote to a friend saying that he did not roceico any letters or parcels from New Zealand for about six months, but felt quite sure that his friends were writing to him regularly and on April 10 received a bundle of 37 letters, all in one mail nlso a parcel containing a cake intended for Christmas tliat had taken six half months to reach him. Fortunately the cake was in splendid condition. Tho writer was out of the trenches for a rest at the time otherwse he might not 'have got, sufficient leave to read all his corresponden.se which would have been most disappointing. This should encourage others with soldier friends who complain that they arc not getting Ip titers not to give up hope as the delayed eorresepndonee will most likely turn up eventually.
