NOTES FROM CANVASTOWN.

(From a Correspondent). Mr Josephson, o! the dredge, was last Sunday afternoon married to Miss Elizabeth Gibbons by Rev. H. L. Richards. The wedding was a qjiiet one, owing to the serious illness of ‘ths bride’s father, Mr Walker Gibbons, an old and esteemed resident of the district, who, we are grieved to hear, died in Wellington at half-past 2 on Monday morning last, and is to be buried in Wellington to-morrow (Friday, 84th), Whitsunday.— Rev. Stace conducted service at the Anglican Church, when the only white-robed candidate was Erie Allan Ball. Judging by the enthusiasm displayed at practice last night the Schoolchildren’s concert on Friday should eclipse all previous efforts of the kind here. Pigs and goats have been doing much damage here lately, to both public and private property, and that even greater pest the biped animal of the genus homo (Larrikinis Novae Zelandicus — cuss) has opened graveyard gates and, not content with annoying and insulting the living, has desecrated the graves of our dead. Speedy punishment should follow this latter atrocious form of civilised amusement.
