TE AROHA.

Rev. Mit Evans.—This much esteemed clergyman, who has been temporally officiating as pastor of St. Mark's Church, here, has had, many will regret to learn, a relapse to the complaint he suffered from for some week's previous to coining here from the Thames, He went over to Cambridge the other day, and information was received that his health would not permit him being here on Sunday. In his absence Mr Wiustone officiated at St. Marks in the morning, and Mr Cox, of Shaftesbury, in the evening.

Band ov Hope.—The school children have been practising for one of those popular concerts, which delight themselves and the public, and which, too, as a rule, are productive of funds for the object aimed at. The concert takes place on Thursday. Burulaky.— About 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, Mr Albert Berger, watchmaker, had occasion to go into his shop, Whitakerstreet, and to his consternation, discovered that fifteen watches (gold and silver) aud seven other articles, including chains, etc., had been removed from the premises. Ho at once communicated with the police, and steps are being taken to recover the missing property. Suspicion rests on a stranger, who, during the last two or three days, has been in the place, and has exhibited eccentricities in character. It is to be hoped, the thief, whoever he may be, will be soon captured and the property restored.

Tow.v Board.—The ordinary monfhly meeting of this hoard took place on Saturday evening. Present: Messrs Gallagher (chairman), Ebert, and Heathcote. With the exception of passing accounts for road repairs, (about £17) the business was unimportant.
