The Borough Council employees, are very bu?y ju.-t now cutting out the crossings which wore ordered to be done at the laßt B Council ceding.

Association of Canterbury, is to be held at 2 their offioes, Chri»tchurch, to-morrow after- - noon, to confir.n a special resolution whioh - was passed on the 22nd February last. A very pretty wedding took place at the Wceleyan church yesterday afternoon, when (he Rev. J. Dellow celebrated the marriage of 7 Miss Alice S.

King, Ohristadelphian, last evening 5 addressed about sixty persons of both Bexea m -. the Sophia Street Hall, on a theological question which bad been raieed between the ' sect he spoke for and the Bey. O. O. Brown, Mr King spoke for nearly two hours m an ' attack upon one of tiie orthodox tenets, for denying which Mr Brown had oalled the Ohrietadelphians some bard names, and showed a large acquaintance with texts df scripture bearing upon the poiut. At the close a member of Mr Brown's congregation defended bis pastor from oharges of unfairness. The audience seemed to enjoy the , address as an intellectual effort. ' Commenting on the movement that is be* ! ing made m its district to form a Special Sat--1 dement Association with a view of taking up ' land north of Auckland, the Kaikoura Star ' say:—That distant fields appear greenest is a trite aphorism. It is rather surprising to us that settlers m such a fertile district as Wairau one of the very boat m the colony.should have \ any idea of leaving it to take up their abode m one of the poorest agricultural dittrictt m r Now Zealand. A gentleman Who has been re* sident m the Auckland district for some years , past, aid who, from speoial advantages enjoy- [ ed by him, has obtained an intimate knowledge [ of that part of the country, informed us a few i days since, that the land there is, as a whole, i the worst m New Zealand for agricultural 1 purposes, and the settlers themselves as a class , the most miserable by reason of the nature of > their holdings, he has seen m the oolony. To i leave Wairau for Auckland would appear to be a foolish step, and a blunder sure to be > repented. I Exhausted «nd drowsy feelings indicate an impure and sluggish condition of the blood, ' which may be remedied by the use of Acer's i Saraaparilla. It is the most powerful and [ economical blood«punfier known. —[Advt.] 1 Aycr's Hair Vigor improves the beauty of the hair and promotes its growth.
