Our Cambridge correspondent writes: There were general rejoicings here when the result of the Hamilton Mayoral election became known ; not that anyone has the slightest feeling against Mr R. W.

Much sympathy is felt with Mr and Mrs Joseph Ganc in the loss they have sustamed by the death of their daughter Winnifred, who was interred in the Cambridge Cemetery on Thursday afternoon. She was a great favourite with everyone, and her loss will be deeply regretted by a large circle of friends. Owing to it not being announced where the interment would take place, many who would have liked to attend the funeral of their little friend were detarred from doing so. Mrs AVm. O'Neill, a very old Hamilton East resident, met with a nasty accident on Thursday afternoon at the Hamilton saleyards. Just outside the public entrance an office is in course of erectiou.

The ladder also brought down a piece of timber, which struck her with considerable force between the shoulders. We are pleased to hear that the sufferer is progressing satisfactorily.
