A female teamster is amongst the curib- * sities of New South Wales. She drives a seven-horse waggon, and recently drove 40 diggers to the Moun. Browne diggings. She is described as seemingly about 19 years old. General regret will, we think, be felt at the resignation of Mr H, S. Winter, secretary and librarian of the Timaru Mechanics’ Institute. Mr Winter has held the above appointment for about twelve months, and has, during that time, abundantly proved his fitness for the post. He has got the library into thorough working order, found a place for everything, and invariably has kept everything in its place. Few people who have not had practical experience of the working of a public library are aware of the amount of labor that devolves upon a librarian who does his work conscientiously, as Mr Winter has; and the Institute Committee will he fortunate if they find a successor for him who combines such a knowledge of books with so much general efficiency. Attention is called to the announcement in another column by Mr E. Cornish,whose premises adjoin the Land Office.
