"* .OCa OWN COHRBSPONDKNT.I The Primitive Methodist Church held their annal picnic in aid of tho Sunday School prize fund on Boxing Pay in Mr John Norfcbcott's grounds. — Htor~*fce absence of Mrs Pearson, the superintendent, Alias M. Fittooi took v . charge. It was a iinancial sucess, j £1 more than in any other year beI. ing obtained.- Jflveryono spent an enjoyable day. On the same day a party from the Cheltenham district held a picnic in the native bush, land, excepting for the weather, spent a pleasant day. v I hear that Mr Corpe is likely to '; plough up a pjwe of ground in front of his bush and have it laid out for reoreatkm ground. It would be a < greet botSfcJa^-fcW district, and; per- ■^ happ ha the means* of our getting a '■"• tenaifl or cricket duTfc ■ _. Moot of the large slhjep are shorn ~~ r . about here now, anu I ndUce that Mr Grioe's purebred English Iwj^wters - have ogpe out of the wool looking re- •' marldwqr vml. Mr Laurie, the new Director, of Agriculture, under the West Australian Government, said leaving Canterbury, that one ot "the £xj>t things lie would try to do in his new sphere would be to induce the i West Australian Government to im- ' port English Leicesters from New Zealand, as he considered they would . be a very valuable sheep for that ' country. I hope it comes to pass. . and that some will be selected ■ from this jooality. V The cottage being erected by Messrs *■ Crear Bros, for iVlr Lance is finished now, and I hear that one of the bro- , there, who intends to be -married shortly, will reside there.
