[from our own correspondent]. On Monday, June 41b, a very enjoyable party took place at Frith wood, Tauhoa, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. Boler. Their third son, Theophilus E.

The happy pair then rode to the Tauhoa where over forty friends were assembled to me< t them and give them three hearty cheers An adjournment was then made to the large dining room where tea was all ready, the tables literally groaning under the weight of the eatables the quality of which was equal to anything to he seen at any restaurant in town. When tea was over and everything cleared away a start was made with the dance. Mr S. E. Boler acted as M.C. and discharged his duties in a very efficient manner.
