I May 3.— The aunual election of a school comj yuittee took place on Monday eveniDg last, when | i_he required number of houssholdera vr^ra elected j for the ensuing yoar. , Kemoval. — Mr Shaw, assistant rabbit inspector, i has been lemoved to Roxburgh, wheve he con- , tinues his ciutiew <n connection with the department. Mr Shaw is both a civil and an obliging officer, a>m has been stationed here in his official capacity for very many years. Both he and Mrs Shaw were ever ready to take an active part in all ■ lfical musical entertainments. Mrs Shaw is gifted ' with au exceptionally pleasing voice, and is a . general favourite with concert-goers on tbe goldj fields. Iti goes without saying that she will be ■ missed in our local musical circles, of which she has been the moat prominent member frota the time of her girlhood. i Change. — Mr and Mrs Nash, of Lawrence, have taken over the Port Phillip Hotel, having leased the premises, from Mr W. Allan, the proprietor. 1 i Bazaar.— Alive preparations are being made ' for the bazaar to be held in June i\6xt in connec- : tion wifh the Anglican Church. i Improvements. — A start baa heen i&ade to im- : ( prove the interior and exterior appearance of sha ■ courthouse. I daresay the Department of Justice ' means to have neaded improvements wffected throughout all their buildings at Clyde. The Post Office authorities might essay an expenditure in impioying the postmaster's residence, as its cxi tenor ia nboui. as shabby an it is possible for any ,' building to be. To put it mildly, it, i« about tlia j most discreditable building the Postal department could well lay claim to. .Something niight be done to effect needed repairs to this building or remove the unsightly structure and erect another of moiv chnsttf-dpsign. Enterprise —I am given to understand that two of our local youths have betaken themselve * to Lawrence, where they intend cairying on«a for- { warding agency in connection with the goWfiekls ; centres. Messrs Hueston and Gye are eminently , adapted for the business they have taken iti hand", j and as they are assured of every assistance from business men on the goldfielda it is only reaaoni able to expect success for them in their under I taking.
