It is cob long since the cable cotveyf d to these distant abores accoun'B of the very cordial meeting of the Emperors of Germany aid Russia, between whom the kieaof peace wao exchanged in the most friendly of fashions, and thenceforth anything lik^ a hoß<ib feeling between the two nation b seemed to fade awny into the far distance.

There are many t till resident among us who are now heads of families who look tack witb pleasure and gratitude to the instruction they r< ceived in tho Sunday eohool of which Mrs tnd Miß3 Bluodtll were the founder?, and in which they worked so faithfully until oiioumstances rendered necessary their departure from ibe district. The shook administered by the unexpected news of the death of the daughter was intensified by the reflection that the blow nonet indeed be a severe one to the mother, with whom the warmest sympathy is felt in her affliction. The funeral took plaoe here t'. is (Monday) afternoon, and by (he hour pppoiafc d there was quite a large assemblage at the church, scarcely a family ia the district being unrepresented, while the number of conveyances ehowfd that many had come from distant part?. Oa the oofiin being removed from the hearxe, not by hired benreis but by half a doz n old and young men who had kuown a> d lov d the deceased when Bhe l.ved amongst us, t'jere was abundant evidenoo of the esteem in which Bhe w.-»s hel 1 by her town friendp, for from head to foo^i it was coyered, many layers deep, with the most beautiful wreaths of white roses, camellias, and azaleas, to which many more were added while the coffin was in. the church. The service was performed by the Yen Archdeacon Mules, and the Rev W. G. Baker, Incumbent of St John's Church, Wakefield, and a very appropriate hymn (No 480 Hymnal Companion) was sung with much fervour by the congregation, led by the choir of which Miss Blundell was once a valued member. "While the ser-i vice was being read in the church, there were many more arrivals from various parts, and around the grave there must hare been gathered nearly 200 people, many of whom had provided themselves with flowers, which with loving respect for the departed one they dropped on the coffin. The plot in which our esteemed young friend is laid already contains the remains of a sister, as well as of her father, in whose memory the pretty little church of St Michael's, the foundation stone of which was laid in 1866 by th« late Bishop Selwyn, was erected by he residents in the district assisted by friends of the de eased in other parts of the world. It will be long before the memory of to-day's sad and impressive service, or of her over whose remains it was read, will fade from the mind 3 of the dwellers in Waimea West.

The proposal to hold a regatta this season is being taken up with considerable enthusiasm. A meeting will be held to-night at the Masonio Hotel to make all the necessary arrangements, and we hope to see at the meeting not only boating men in great force, but all members of tha community who take an interest in furthering the object in view. A meeting was held on Friday night to make arrangements and to elect officers for the Foxhill Cricke: Cub. Mr Price, senior, was e'ected President, and if the members of U c Club lire half ns enttmsLißtic as ihe President was iv his crickniing dsys, the Club will be able to giva a good account of • hemaelves before tha end of the season. Mr J. Thomai wvb elected jSeoretary and Treasurer, Mr J. Price, junior, Captaiu, and Messrs Boddington, Price, W. and E. Hoult and the Secretary, a match commi",tee.
