Owing to the number of patients treated during the current ye&r having been greatly in excess of the usual average, there is a pressing necessity for increased effort being made to provide for its Maintenance. In making this appeal, the committee would especially notice the fact that, while most of the patients treated are from the country districts, bnfr few contributions arrive from those districts, with the exception of those annually collected on the stations at shearing time, and they therefore trust that this appeal, addressed particularly to j the country settlers, will be liberally responded to. A BAZAAR in aid of the English "Church debt will be held at RIVERTON on Thursday, 26th December, 1872, and two following days. Contributions will be received by Mrs 1 Oldbam, Mrs Bocke, snd Mrs Matthews. RIVEETON REa AT T A. ! JANUARY Ist, 1873.
