In proposing Mr Ciirvosso's health, Mr (Blenkhorii said that the guest of the evening was well and favorably known; he had been in Levin for some ten years and had won the goodwill and esteem of all. He was bettering himself by 'leaving Leviu, and everyone wished him well. Ho had that peculiar and he thought rare quality of loyalty. Hi.s worship had had special opportunities of seeing this*, and he had great pleasure in testifying to the fact. In Wellington, no doubt, Mr idarvosso would advance in the profession of the law; his qualities should ensure that for him. On behalf of the gathering Mr Bleukliorn presented Mr Carvosso with a travelling bag and rug, and expressed a hope that the recipient would find it convenient to visit 'Levin from time to time. The toast was supported by Constable Bagrie, who spoke appreciatively both of his personal and business acquaintance with the guest of the ©veiling. In responding, Mr Carvosso said he had come to Levin a callow youth, and he was leaving it with regret. : He had experienced in (Levin unvarying friendship and kindness from all the residents. both socially and in a 'business sense. He thanked mos hearily a,II those who had made him the handsome and useful presents that he had received that night, and they would serve often to remind him of the good friends he was leaving in Levin. The full toast list was as follows:—"The King" ; "Army, Xavy and Air Service," proposed by Mr Parker, replied l to by Sergt.-Major Matheson; "The Oupst of the Evening," proposed by the mayor of Levin, supported by Constable Bagrie; "Boys at the Front." proposed by Mr Procter, replied to bv Messrs Bailey and ißiamsbnthain ; "The Town of Levin," proposal by Mr Perkins, responded to bv Councillor Matheson ; "The Press," |Mr 0. .S. Keedwell; responded to by j The Chronicle representative. A conI vivial evening was passed in song, j story and recitation, Mr (D. (Morgan ! acting as accompanist.

Another important 1 thing is to know that von oan rely on I repairs properly done if anything goes j wrong. If you come to me you may be sure that everything will 'be right. F. C.

At the Patriotic Society's function last Tuesday, Mrs Gordon-Glassford, oif Ihakara, briefly addressed the audience, on the invitation of the mayor , off I>evin. Mrs Glassford mentioned that in letters received by her from her sons at the front reference was made to the pleasing fact that Levin's contributions towards soldiers' comforts were reaching the soldiers. Oli the day that the young Glassfordswrote their letter they had partaken of refreshments at ia stall inscribed with the news that the soldiers that day were the guests of the people of Levin; and almost every day there could be seen on one or other oif the refreshment stalls the name of some, New Zealand town. Mrs Glassford remarked that it would he cheering to all those who had been contributing to the fund to know tlint their gifts were reaching the right quarter. An Australian cablegram says that endeavors are being made to sell !N"cw Zealand butter in New South Wales at Is per lb f.o.b.
