ALEXANDRA.

May 3. — Turing the past >*eek the weather has i been delightful, but there ia every indication of a j sudden c;h<»uge The river is going down rapidly. | A Wipe Hewer. — The case of Thos. Wilson ! was continued on Monday afternoon, and wont ou till late that night and the whole of next day. Mr Gilkison fought a hard uphill fight;. In the cross examination Mr M '"Donald made Wilson feel bis position keenly. S.M. M'Carthy convicted Wilson, au<i sentenced him to three montbV hard labour in DiuiocUq gaol. I School Committer Election.— -The annual i meeting for the election of a school coaiiuittpi ! came off on Monday, and everything went rtf j very smoothly. The following committee were I duly elected :— Rev. John Lothian, Messis 'I htyers, Fraser, Kennedy, Milne, Ke.lm.rn. and K. Appleton. The first meeting of the new commit - tee was called for Friday evening last, when Mr Theyers was again elected chairman, s.r>d Mr L. llyau, jun., secretary at a salaiy of £'6 3?. Bicycle Track -At the request of t-everal of j the bicycle men I made an inspection of the track j to-day, and I find that ill is in tha pink of condij tion. Since la"st T saw it it has b=eu banked ai 1 all the cornets, making them very secure a gain tr. accident. I saw a Roxburgh crack up doing a few laps the other day, and I expect to see him a haul man to beat on the 24th of May, so Alexandra had better look to her laurels. If a. dressing ihed were put up temporarily it would be a great adi vantage. Jt is not too late yet.
