NEWS OF THE DAY.

A sheep, breaking from a flock I which was being driven through Kaipoi the other day made a rush at a large plate glass window in a mil- i linerv establishment, and crashed i through iti doing damage to the extent of £15 or £20. A lecture on the work j?£ deaconesssa will be given on Tuesday evening by Sister Marian; of Blenheim. The lady has proved to be a very successful Church worker in Blenheim, and her lecture will doubtless be of an interesting character. It will be seen by advertisement that the clergymen attending the Diocesan Synod will preach in the various Churches to-morrow. Farther particulars will be ascertained on reference to the advertisement. The snake plague at Gundagai, in New South Wales, continues. During the past few days snakes have been killed in the main street of that town.
