Constable Henry, one of the Wellington emstables who returned from Galatea lately has arrived here to take the place of. Constable Davy, who was transferred to Dargavillesomc time ago. There was a large attendance at- Miss Cough's cookery Ucture on Saturday and all the ladies seemed to think the time and money was well spent. There will be another demonstration this afternoon at the Templar Hall at 2 o'clock when an entirely new programme will be presented. A half-caste named William Williams, about 50 years of age, died rather suddenly yesterday morning at Neavesvillc.

At the adjourned meeting of the newly formed Poultry Association held in {lie •Borough Chambers on Saturday evening, there was a good attendance of members. Mr Bagnall occupied the Chair, and Mr W. Smith assumed the duties' of Secretary. •After the minutes- of the last meeting had ijicen read and continued, the Secretary read ,d letter from Mr Khrenfried thanking the Society for electing him a Vice Patron, and enclosing a guinea subscription. A characteristic letter' was also read from Mr K. McDonald Scott, thanking the Thames people for honouring him with the appointment as Vice-Patron, which he said was particularly pleasing to him, as if was the first time he had. received any public compliment from the Thames, though he had been their firm friend for 27 years, He also, promised a handsome subscription. The sub-committee, consisting of Messrs Bagnall, Dniilop, and Scott brought up the rules and regulations, which they suggested for adoption.
