The body of the deceased gentleman was brought up by train and interred at Otorohanga on Friday last. Universal sympathy is being extended to the bereaved widow and I relatives in their 3rd affliction. A bazaar in aid of the Otorohanga English Church funds wss held in the Town Hall on the 16th and l«th. There were the usual attractions consisting of stalls, bran tubs. Christmas trees, fortune telling, refreshments, nail driving competitions for ladies, etc., ete. There was a large attendance of the public and the stalls which were presided over by Mrs Lowe, Mrs Rarnand. Mrs Forster. Miss Johnston, Miss Symes. Miss Willis. Miss Ctompstcce and Mrs Morgan, did a very brisk business.

As a result of the Bazaar the Church funds will be considerably augmented.
