APITI NOTES.

(Our Own Correspondent.) The Debating Society opened the season last Thursday night, the subject being "Should Women be Allowed to Vote?" There was a good attendance, and Mr Falconer occu£ied the chair. Mrs Gregory and Ir Guy led off in the affirmative, and Miss Robs and Mr McKenzie followed on in the negative. Dr. Grofory, Messrs Matthews, Decke, and iobinson, Miss Leslie and Miss Levien also took part in the discussion, and on a show hands being taken, the affirmative won. Someone was kind enough to report seven inches of snow having fallen one day last week. However, I should like to state that several settlers aB well as myself measured tdie snow out on the open level places, and on Saturday night, there was scarcely 3 inches, which had nearly disappeared by midday, and on the Monday night following there was another 2 inches fell, and it also soon disappeared, and whoever measured 7 inches must have chosen a place where the snow drifted. Of course, we arc not responsible for what takes place higher up or nearer the hills. Only on two occasions do i I remember 6 inches of snow at one time in Apiti, and then it was pretty , general atl over the colony. On Saturday the Wesleyan Sunday School scholars presented Mr John Johnson with a handsome travelling rug. Mr Johnson, who has been connected with the Sunday school for - many years, is leaving shortly to settle down in Sweden, his native l country.
