With 100 marriage licenses already issued, and with over three months to go before the end of the year, a matrimonial record for Blenheim seems assured. Last year 103 couples were married, representing the second largest total for about 20 years.
An 11-year-old boy, William Holding. was accidentally shot in the head with an air-gun pellet while playing with his younger brother, aged nine, in Hastings. The pellet entered tho head through the top of the left eye, .shattered tho bone, and lodged at the hack of the eye-ball. The lad was taken to Palmerston North, where he was operated upon by Dr. W. S. V. Bransgrove, but a second operation had to be performed two weeks, later before the pellet was removed. The shot was flattened on one side and it was remarkable that the eye was not destroyed, bin even so it will take 18 mouths to two years for complete recovery, although the- boy lias now .been discharged from the Palmerston North Hospital.
