EXTRACTS FROM “HAWERA STAR” MARCH 27, 1885.

By the Presbyterians of Hawera and Normanby (Miss McCutchan , collector), there was subscribed £7 6s, and by the Wesleyans (Miss King, collector), £l. There was no collector appointed for the Church of England. * * » * *

A young lady came from England to meet her affianced and be joined in wedlock. ’The would-be bridegroom went to the Hawera registry office, but there was no registrar for, owing to some neglect, a. substitute lias not been appointed in Mr Chaney’s place. The simplest way out of the difficulty would be to go to Mnnaia or Patea, but it is doubted whether a new registrar has been gazetted in Manaia in place of Air Dawson, the late official. In any case, it. is too bad to be bandied about like this. The Governor is back now, and the necessary warrants op appointment will no doubt soon be issued.
