(Own Correspondent.)

On Monday. June I2th, a very pretty wedding was celebrated in Christ's Church, Kihikihi, the contracting parties being Miss Alice Mary Rushbrooke, eldest daughter of Mr E. Rusbrooke, of Kihikihi. and Mr William Arthur Westgate, of New Buckenhan, Norfolk, England. The bride wore a dainty frock of creme voile, prettily* trimmed with insertion, the orthodox wreath and veil completing a charming toilette, while the bridesmaid Miss Bertha Louisa Rushbrooke, sister of the bride, was attired in a peacock blue costume, with hat to match. Mr Alban George Rushbrooke acted as best man. The Rev. F. W. Clarke was the officiating minister, while Mr P. Wurr presided at the organ. After the ceremony the bridal party and relatives drove to the residence of die bride's parents, where a sumptuous wedding breakfast awaited them. Mr and Mrs Westgate left by the afternoon train for Wellington, en route to England, upon a visit to Mr Westgate's parents and friends. The committee and members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union met on Tuesday afternoon in the Presbyterian Church, and had a very interesting discussion on the most necessary work to be taken up in this township. It was finally decided to hold Band fof Hope meetings monthly, the various members showing willingness to assist in making the programme interesting and helpful. The committee wish to make it known that these meetings are open to the public, and visitors are always welcome. Under the auspices of the Literary and Debating Society, Dr Henderson lectured in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening. The subject, " What to do till the doctor comes," was one which appealed to all, and the public availed themselves of this chance of learning a few useful hints. Great interest was shown throughout the lecture. At its conclusion of the lecture the chairman, Mr O. Price Owen, proposed the forming of ambulance classes for men and nursing classes for women, and all present being favourable, Dr Henderson gave, a brief outline of the working and best means of making these classes a success. The meeting closed with a hearty vote of thanks to Dr and Mrs Henderson.
