HYDE.
June 7.— The funeral of Miss Kate M'Bridetook place to-day. She was a daughter of MrR. M'Bride, of Newtown, and was only in hor twenty-second year. During her residence in Hyde she had made a great many friends, and will long be missed by her relatives, friends, and acquaintances. A large crowd follow ed her remains to the cemetery, where the Rev. Father Lynch, assisted by the Rev. Father M'Mullin, of Oamavu, conducted the funeral service.
Weither. — The weather has settled again after the few blustering days we had, and is now mild enough for spring. So far we have had no frost, and some of the fields are even beginning to look green. Coal.— Mr Lindsay has opened a coalpit in Coal Creek, between Hyde and Newtown, and as he is selling at a very reasonable price, he should get some "patronage. There are a great many lignite pits in this locality, but so far none of them nay« been worked very successfully, and it is therefore to be hoped that Mr Lindsay's will be a payabl* spec. CoNCEaT.— The concert in aid of the cemetery funds, which comes off on the 18th, is likely to be » success. Miss Dawson is secretary of the con-
cert committee and the chief organiser, and has taken the matter up in her usual energetic style.
