Concert. —ln these dull fiihb&J with'their, l° n g and weary evenings, anything calculated ,to relieve the monotony and help to while away aii idle hour w j hail with delight. It is ■ therefore pleasing- to be in a. position to announce- that Miirt Maggie Paterson has kindly consented to .take charge of arrangements for a concert on behalf of the Presbyterian Church Fund. ; It is intended that the concert will take place early in the week after, next. Miss Paterson will put herself in .communication with our local amateurs', when there is little doubt she will be ably sup-, ported by one and all. It is a pleasing .feature in almost;all onr local 1 efforts bn ‘ behalf, of a good, cause that, the cordial sympathy of tile various religious bodies is never .wanting, and we feel sure in tins instance our musie-lovitig portion of the community will , largely paltronise: this '-praiseworthy effort of Miss' Paterson 1 and her‘friends.. k ’ ■ ".'.I. The Late Floods-.—We have heard frequent complaints since 7 the late' Hood of I travellers being unable to get from Geraldine' by, the road , over the Downs. to Waitohi owing to the bridge in the Kangitira creek being, washed away. One gentleman ;had to come all the way back -to Ergan’s corner, not knowing the bridge was down, no ’ notice- to that effect having been given. As it is a serious inconvenience, the Bead Board ought to attend to this matter- at once, .Good UopEj No. 43, 1.0.Gr.T. A meeting of this lodge will be held next Monday night, for the election of officers and other important | business. Coursing.—-We observe from our Christchurch correspondence that Balmoral has succeeded in beating Haddington. This dog was specially imported from Sydney, and the Cup was considered a moral for him, but ho has had to succumb to our local dog. The Late Mrs Watson. —-The funeral of the late Mrs Watson took place yesterday, and was attended by a large number of sympathising friends. Resident Magistrate’s Court, Temuka.
