CHRISTCHURCH.
This day. Further reports from the country state that part of the Albury branch railway has been damaged by the floods. Other places north and south have suffered severely, and in some will take several months to repair damages.
A public meeting re the Local Option Bill was held last night. It was very wet, and a small attendance. The principal speakers were the Bight Rev. the Primate of New Zealand, the Rev. H.O. Watson, and Mr Stout, M.11.R. Several resolutions were unanimously carried, the principal one being: " That in the opinion of this meeting the principle embodied in the Local Option Bill is equitable, practicable, and likely to afford public relief from many of the evils resulting from the consumption of intoxicating liquors." At a conference of school committees last night resolutions were carried in favor of free, compulsory education, the establishment of secondary schools, and larger powers granted to committees. The weather is still wet.
