The Lazar Masonic Lodge-holds its re-' gular meeting at 8 o’clock, this at the Public Hall. ! Now that the tramway is about to bring Greymonth and Kumara into closer connection than they have hitherto been in, there will doubtless be a large number of parcels brought to and fro between the two towns. For the quick transport of these from the Kumara terminus an express has just been set up by an enter - prising townsman. Such a conveyance' will, even in the absence of the tramway, ■ be a convenience in the district, and will soon bo found to be a good speculation.

As to connection by railway, it was not improbalbe a flying survey would be made before any roote was definitely settled upon.

The Hokitika Star says :—“ It is expected that Mr Ssddon will resign his seat in the County Council, owing to the pressure of private business.” A writer in the Journal of Chemistry thus refers, to the use ..of celery:— r ‘ J have known many who,' from various 'causes, had become much affected by nervousness,’ and who, by a moderate daily use o! the blanched foot-stalka of celery as a salad, became as strong and steady as other people. I have known others so nervous that the least annoyance put them in a state of agitation, and . they were in constant perplexity and fear, who were also effectually cured by a moderate daily use of blanched celery as a salad. Everybody engaged in labor weakening to |he nerves should use celery daily in the season, and onions in its stead when not In season.
