HUNTLY.
Closing op the Pottkry.—As showing how closely allied our different industries and manufactures are. and how any set of conditions which injuriously affect tho operations of one, are reflected in the want of support and consequent success of others I may mention that owing to the stoppage of work at the Onehunga Iron-works, the company (which hat been running them both) has found it necessary to close down the brick and pottery works hern. The manager, Mr M»rris, has been kept busy making h'ro-bricks for the Onehunga works, but now that they are not working aud (having a large stock on hand) the demand for ordinary house-bricks being almost nil, there was nothing for it but to close. It is a great pity too, for a splendid article was turned out, the supply of fireclay being unlimited. The fire-bricks for the railway locomotives were made here also. Pugilism.—There have been one or two "mills" in Huntly lately (I notice they generally take place while our local constable is in other parte), but some of >ur young bloods would be wiee to restrain their fistic ardour, or they will be making their bow before our local Beak. Onn Library.—Tho library. committee are working hard to make their proposed concert on Monday night next a success. They have eneaged the services of Miss Rimmer, who is acknowledged to be one of Auckland's leading sopranos, so that those attending may rest assured of hearing something good. Nor must the deserving object for which the committee are striving be lost eight of. Bush Fires.— There are bush firos all around us, which betokens a large stretch of new land being got ready for sowing, etc., a healthy sign at all times. Resident Doctor.—The miners have adopted rules for the guidance of their Sick Fund Association and will have them registered in compliance with the Friendly Societies' Act, and there is an earnest hope expressed on all sidos that through their agency a good medical man will be induced to take up his abode here.
