Some of the Te Aroha folk think very highly of the prospects of the claim pegged out at Tararu, Thames, a sliort time since by Messrs Lavevy, CanncJl, Hetherington, and otheis. Messrs W. McClear, J, Bew,Jas. Don, Jas. Rowe, and It. Harris, have a licensed holding taken up of ten acres adjoining ; and more recently still Mr G.

Evan*, whilst at Cambridge last week on a visit to hib father, experienced a relapse of bis recent severe attack of quinßy, from which -he had ahrost completely recovered. He is, however, progressing favourably. The services at St. Mark's on Sunday were conducted by Messrs Winstone, and E. Y. Cox. During the evening service Mrs Kilgour, of Thames, sang as an anthem solo. '" Angels ever Bright and Fair," which was substituted for the first hymn. Whilst riding into To Aroha bit Monday afternoon, a little 003-, son of Mr' M. Bemrose, of. Shaftesbury, when coming, up Budge-street, was thrown on his head* cry-heavily, owing to the pony stumbling and coming down. The lad was quickly picked up and carried into Mrs Dicks' house close by, and Dr Cooper being sent for, came and bandaged his head and face and examined him. Fortunately no bones were broken but the lad received, a very severe shock, and the right side of his face and right eye weve very b^dlyr, bruisod. The boy having been made as comfortable -as possible, Mrs* Dick" and some other kind friends took care of him, and a message was sent to his parents, who, wit^h as. .little delay as prssible, drove in for Him anil* took him home on u-mattrass in a spring cart ; and with rest and' enre there is every reason to expect the lad will ■ soon be all right again.
