The weather during the past week has been very severe with rain and occasional frosts, which .have cut off the green pasture, making feed for stock scarce. Mr C. C. Walkrow, who recently came to live in this township, is to be the recipient of a presentation of a marble clock and an entertainment by the residents of Ohariu, where Mr Walkrow made himself very useful to the community.

Mr Stephen Bryant is to make the presentation at the social in the Ohariu schoolroom on the 24th inst. - June 23rd.
