SIXTY YEARS AGO

We were yesterday favoured with a view of some very good-looking specimens of quartz and gold obtained from a newlydiscovered reef at Waitahuna. Our readers may not be generally aware that amongst the female immigrants that arrived by tho Sarah M.y from London, were a number of Lancashire factory operatives. We believe that there were somewhere about twenty of this class, and it is satisfactory to learn that although they did not obtain employment so readily as those who had been in domestic service before, they have, with few exceptions, obtained good situations,. ... , . At tho meeting of the Town Board this afternoon, wo presume that something will he said respecting the resolution come to last week to build an engine-house and bell-tower on the Board’s Dowhng-strest section. We know that Captain, Lieutenant, and members generally ct mo Volunteer Brigade scout the idea of an engine-house on such a hill ever being used. A special examination has led tho officers to the conclusion that neither to Rattraystreet nor to Moray place is there, or cun there be made, a road along which an engine could be taken; and to think of going round by the Cemetery is simpiy absurd. . .
