HUNTLY.

Dr. Colb.—Owing to the indifferent state of hia health, which appears to have suffered since coming to Huntly, Dr. Cole bns decided upon leaving, much to the regret of all here, as professionally he has given the greatest satisfaction, moreover he came too at a somewhat critical time, just when the services of a Resident Modic.il man were most urgently required. Having intimated his intention of resigning to the Secretary of the Miner.? Sick and Accident Association, a meeting of that body was held here on Thursday evening to discuss the situation and make provision for securing a success )r. Dr. Kerr, of Hamilton, lignified hia willingness to pay biweekly visits, but the Association resolved to take the necessary steps tn obtaiu another resident doctor. The Secretary was instructed to advertise in the four chief centres of the Colony, and also in the Sydney Morning Herald, inviting applications for the appointment and in the meantime an offer has been submitted to Dr. lerr fur temporary modical services until a resident doctor shall have been secured. Some of the unsuccessful candidates for the position of Medical officer to the Hamilton Hospital might do worse than try Huntly. £'2~)Q a year with outside practice is not to be sneezed it, these hard time*. Thk late Bazaau.-A meeting of the Church Buildiug Committee was held in the .school on Thursday evening, all the members being piesent, Mr J. Harrison in the ch.iir. The secretary and treasurer, (Mr W. Tattley), read a statement of receipts and expenditure in connection with the late Bazaar. The gross takings, together with sums collected by some of the ladies, amounted to £120 6s 3d ; total expenses were only £5 5s 3d ; making net proceeds, £115 Is, a very satisfactory and encouraging result. The above, together with the amount on fixed deposit in the Bank of New Zealand (with accrued interest) £84 4s makes a total to credit of the sum of £199 ss. It was rosolved to placo the amount in hand (£115) on fixed deposit for six months. A vote of thanks to the ladies, who had worked so hard in the interests of the proposed church, was passed and recorded in the minutes, and it was resolved that the secretary communicate with the directors of the Taupiri Extended Company and obtain from them if possible a grant of l»nd for the site of the new church. Volunteer Corps.—Lieut. Col. Goring was here during Tuesday and Wednesday taut, enquiring into the prosueots of forming a Volunteer Corps in Huntly. Some old volunteer hands here have made representation to the Government re the formation of a Corps and it seems likely that we shall have a company soon from what I can learn.
