A SUGGESTED NAME FOR THE PUBLIC BATHS.
Sin,—Just a lino io suggest that, in the event of the public baths being established, tliov ,should tm named tho "Newport Baths," in.honour of tho late Father Nowport, wlfo .bravely laid down his life in tho attempt' to save that, of a child named Pounds. Tho .'atastroplie occurred on August. 30. 1596. Ixstweon Portobello and Port Chalmers, and I am informed that, laltliough tho bravo priest's action was landed to (lie skies at, (ho time of his sacrifice, his grave at, Port Chalmers has not even it. hcadslono io marl; the spot where the hero reposes. If this is true, it is 11 reproach and a shame to the community at large, and one that, I sinccrelv hope, will not ho allowed to continue.—l am. etc., Theodore Arnold. North-East Valley, March 18.
