We are authorised to state that the ' • Canterbury Reserve Corp3 will be unable to attend the Easter encampment at Oamaru. i In our report of the annual meeting ; of the Canterbury Agricultural and Pas- < i toral Association, the name of Mr James Wilkin was accidentally omitted from the < list of the newly elected Committee. ( The Charitable Aid Board yesterday i settled the dispute in connection with I < | the Orphanage by passing a resolution j < to give Mr Ritchey his salary to April i , 1, and the sum of £68 15s on his leaving the institution on that date. Messrs j Forrester and Toomer have resigned their j ; seats on the Orphanage Committee. A ( j requisition has been prepared in Lyt- j ; telton asking the Mayor to convene a pub- 1 lie meeting for the purpose of considering j the action of the Charitable Aid Board in • connection with the Orphanage. Tk« Canterbury Co-operative Freehold , ', Land Association have been at some | | trouble and expense in placing on their , various estates conspicuous sign-boards. , Some person, either wantonly or maliciously, : has removed one of these from their Locks- ■ ley estate, having sawn the post off level with the ground, and taken the post and i board away. The Directors are determined, • if they can succeed in discovering the per- ■ petrator of the act, to take proceedings •' against him, and in another column offer a , , reward of £2 for the discovery of th« ; offender.
