The new punt which is in course of construction at Churchill is nearly finished, and will be a great boon to the settlers when complete and in working order.

The Rev. D. Fulton, of Hamilton, delivered his interesting and instructive lecture on "Robert Burns" in the Rangiriri schoolroom a few evenings ago. There was a very large attendance, and the lecture was much appreciated.

The new school committee at Rangiiiri consist of Messrs J. Gall (chairman,) D. Hartman, J. L. Pohvart, *H. Sutherland, L. Harris, J. Picrup and W. Patterson. Mr A. J.

At yesterday's meeting of the Waikato County Council, Cr Wells, speaking of the Rotorua road and the necessity of urging the Government to complete it, gave it as his opinion that at the rate of progress hitherto observed, the road would not be opened in four years.

At Ewen's Mil yesterday a horse attached to a buggy, in which were two or three people, fibbed and fell, breaking the shafts, but fortunately inflicting no injury upon the occupants of the trap. People using the temporary road will do well to remember that the broken vehicle still lies near the spot, in order that it might be avoided.

It is understood that His Excellency has consented to call to the Legislative Council Mi- Henry William-,, of the Auckland district, and Mr E. J. C. Stevens, of Christ-church. Mr Williams is the eldest son of the late Archdeacon Williams, and was for many years chairmean of the Bay of islands County Council. Mr Stevens represented Christchurch m the last Parliament.

At the R.M. Court, Hamilton, yesterday, Henry Wilson and H. Cash, were charged by Sorgt. McG-overn with a breach of Borough by-law, No. 3. for offering goods for sale without a license. These are the gentlemen who were so busy, and talked so much on race night. Neither of the defendants appeared, and a fine of two pounds, and costs, again&t each was recorded. There were also a few small debt cases, mostly judgment confessed, and those defended were of no general interest.

Th 3 complimentary concert to Mr T. A. Bell will be given in the Volunteer Hall, Hamilton, next Wednesday evening, and should prove a thorough success both in a musical and financial sense. The leading amateur musicians and vocalists from all parts of the district, including Te Awamutu and Cambridge, will lend their valuable aid, and we may safely anticipate a sterling entertainment. Mr Bell has ever been to the fore when assistance was needed for charitable and other local objects, and the concert to be given on Wednesday will be a graceful return for these services. We trust to see a crowded house.
