CLINTON.

March 25. — Quiteta gloom was cast over the ' town when the news became generally known of the death of Miss Clara Styles, at the early age of 18 years and 4 months. The young lady was a native of Clinton, and was much esteemed by a wide circle of girl friends for her pureness of character. For some time prior to her demise small hopes were entertained of her recovery, and the end was not unexpected even to the poor sufferer herself. The funeral took place on Sunday, and the procession whish followed the boQy to its last resting place was a very large one, numbers being present from all the surrounding districts to render a l°st mark of respect to deceased. The parents have received numerous messages of sympathy from distant friends, and those, together with the united sympathy of neighbours, will, it is hoped, allay somewhat the pang of deep soirow felt by Mr and Mrs Styles. April 1. — On Monday last there passed away at her residence, Clinton, Mrs Henderson, a very old resident of the district. Deceased had many friends, who by their kind attentions soothed the closing days of a long and laborious life. The funeral took place on Wednesday, the Rev. R. H. Blair officiating at the grave. Weather. — Most glorious weather continues without interruption. If anything, the heat is rather oppressive for chis tine of the year. However, the harvest is going ahead by leaps and bounds.
