Pohangina.

Those who judge the pulse of a dii. trict'a prosperity often refer to the marriage barometer, and, if this is high, a favourable conclusion ie drawn. Judged by this standard Pohangina lagget'a not. I have much pleasure in recording that two marrifisqs took place on tho 10th inst at the house of Mr John Boberts, farmer. The contracting parties wer« Mr Arthur Brooking ana Miss Kate Koberta; Mr Charles Bearle and Miss vl aria Roberts. The Rev. Mr Newbold. Palmerston North, oftciated. The first named couple had as groomsman, Mr E Harkness, and for bridesmaid, Miss Maggie Roberts, while the latter couple were supported dj Mr Thomas Searle. groomsman, and Miss Annie Boborts ana Miss Lucy Bowie as bridesmaids. ihe brides wore very becoming dresses, Miss Kate's being a silver-gre? tweed trimmed with white silk, with veil and orange blossom. A goodly number of the near relatives of. the brides and bridegrooms asaembled, and after the ceremony was over those were invited to afternoon tea. Many handsome and costly presents were received with many expressions ot goodwill. In the evening Mr and Mrs Brooking left for Dannevirke, while Ms and Mrs Saarle departed for their new home in the Salisbury Block. : Vf» heartily join in wishing the young people all succesa and happiness. ,
