Mr Pretty is under Dr. Seville’s care, and all wish him a speedy recovery. OUR TOWN BOARD. The Town Board has made satisfactory arrangements with the Bank of New Zealand, in connection with the unformed roads, so no doubt the work will soon be put in hand. HOCKEY SOCIAL. The Secretary has the arrangements well in hand for the Hockey Social. Given favourable weather, a most successful evening should result. SHOOTING SEASON.
