The Mayor has invited citizens to observe Monday next as a whole holiday. More than inconvenience was caused last night by the present state of Normanby Bridge. The cabman who took the hose reel from the Central Station imagined the fire to be nearer than it was, and went. down Bridge-street, and he had to turn and go right round by Collingwoodstreet bridge, valuable time thus being lost.

Her statement re- - vealed a sad case of destitution. x She had four children, one of whom earned 4s a week. Apart from one day's charing a week, for which she f received 2s and her food, her time 3 was occupied in making boys' serge , knickers. For this she got the miserable pittance of 9d per dozen pairs, finding all thread. If she had ' no meals to prepare she could do a I dozen pairs between seven a.m. and , midnight.

Mr M'Evoy was ' born (says the "Timaru Herald") in > Dublin, and when eighteen years of : age enlisted in an Irish regiment. I He came out to Sydney as one of the ' military guard on a convict ship, from where he was afterwards draf ted to Norfolk Island, then a penal i settlement. When this island was given up as a convict settlement he came over to New Zealand, and fought in the Maori War under General Cameron. After the war he went to Kororarika, Bay of Islands, and took up whaling, remaining in that district for twelve years. He then went to"the Mackenzie Country, in which district he has resided for the past forty years.

Selecting an Organ. — We understand that recently a committee of musical gentlemen was set up to make the selection of an organ for the West Oxford Angfican Church, Canterbury, and that they unanimously decided to recommend one made by the Carpenter Company. These organs are being sold in this city by Mr Lock, who receives them direct from the Carpenter Company, U.S.A. The makers claim that for the styles of organs there are no better instruments in the world to-day, the tone quality especially being unsurpassed. Mr Lock is also importing some really up-to-date and stylish pianos from some the leading London and Continental makers, which he is selling at low prices and easy terms. Mr Lock has also just to hand, direct from the factories, 600 pairs of curtains, and a shipment of - Vive wonderful Atlas' sewing machines.
