Bridge. — I notice that the contract is otit for the new bridge at Duttou's — M* M'F.irlane, of Bilclutha, being the successful tenderer. New Hall. — The opening of tho new Oddfellows' Hall took place last week, and was largely attended. The unit-rd choirs from the different churches rendered several concerted pieces very nicely. Several of the officers from the Dunedin Lodge took part in the service, while Mr D. Written, secretary to the lodge, read the reports. Thanks were returned to Mr W. Walton for bo kindly lending hip organ, afte-i which tk* youn? people indulged in a dance, which lasted till daylight. \Vea>thei.— Of late the weathai has been so gloomy that we are longing for a eight of our old friend " Sol."
