HOROWHENUA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) OTAKI, Feb. 19. ■ A burglary took place at the Otaki Presbytery a few days ago when numerous shirts and dresses, hold for the coming Catholio bazaar, were stolen. Constable Satherley has been notified that his transfer to Auckland has been cancelled. Mr W. G. Taylor is at present representing tho Otaki Methodist Church at the conference now sitting in Christchurch. Rev. T T. Wong, Chinese missioner, is at present in Otaki,.the guest of Rev. and Mrs G. K. Moir. Mr J. Board, of Waipukurau, has joined the Bank cf New Zealand staff 'at Otaki, in place of Mr G. McNaughton, who has been transferred to Waipukurau. Although the weather was threatening early in the day on Wednesday it proved to be fine in the afternoon, and the garden party held by the Otaki Plunket Society was therefore well attended. The arrangements, thanks to an energetic committee, of which Mrs Buckrell was a most capable secretary, worked splendidly. The beautiful Native College grounds, kindly placed at tho disposal of the society by Mr and Mrs Wills, were looking at their best.
