An excellent programme is published for Monday evening's concert. Mr F. H. Wood will sell at the Oddfellows’ Hall, Peatherston, on Saturday, 11th Juno, without reserve, a cottage and quarter of an acre section, situated on Murphj’s Line of the township. We understand it is the intention of the Kev J. Ward to conduct short open air fer--1 vices in various parts of this district during the next few months. The first will be held ■it Featherston, near the Court House, on Sunday evening at (1 o’clock. In Christchurch the other day there were some forty applicants for a driver’s bilht advertised as vacant by a grocer. The appli. cants ranged from boys fourteen years of age to men eixty-five years old. On Jubilee day they are going to have an Old Settlors’ procession at Itangiora, Canterbury, They will bo dressed in blue ’’ jumpers,” cabbage tree hats, and moleskin trousers tied below the knee with a piece ol 11 ax—as in “ the good old davs,” Wh i 1 . .1 ■ ;’ ! i I’’ • ■' •' - 'VC,. ■ V"U ll T ■ ae.e er; .on of uur Queen's « v • i- ib >it’ ' ■ I the pi ice list ; SCO ih-. ■ iie,v i xamino the goods.

Arrangements ate being made for holding the anniversary services of the Wesleyan Church, Gteytown, the latter part of lias ; month. His Worship the Mayor of Christchurch has commenood the distribution of the coais he promised to supply during the winter to those people who needed them. Two butchers, Messrs W. Lodge and 8. Crocker, in the employ of Mr A. E. Tutton, Papaoui, Canterbury, did a bit of fast work. Fur boiling down purposes they dressed ten merino ewes in Bmin 57sec. This is said to be a best on record, as it is considered good work for two men to dress ten sheep in ten minutes. A man named James Campbell walked into Dr Pollen’s surgery, at Gisborne, yesterday morning, complaining of a pain in the chest, and while the doctor was writing a prescription, fell dead in the room. Campbell, who was a laborer, has been long a resident there, sod was a steady and well-respected man. Judge Broad administered a caustic rebake to a learned counsel at Timaru. Counsel was proceeding, “ Now, your Honor, Eoscos defines larceny ,” when His Honor sharply interrupted, “ Oh, Mr , we learnt that lor our examiuatiou. I know what larceny is—at least I am supposed to know, or 1 should not be fit for this seat." Counsel murmured apology, and quitted the stormy path of definition. Tenders will close on Tuesday next, June 7, for the building of the Dalefield Dairy Factory, plans, <So., can be seen at the office of Mr 6 A Fairbrotber, Carterton.

Some persons appear to think that this is rather suggestive of black mailing, as many men would rather subscribe against their consciences than run the risk of offending their superiors. The Wesleyan Church at South Feather* ston has just been painted and renovated. Subscriptions are now being gathered for an organ, and new pulpit bible. These will cost at least £2O, nearly all of which has already been promised, It is intended to bold roopning services about a month hence, but re then it is resolved that all the improveis shall tc paid for. That is the way. . orgy deserves success, and we are glad to 1 see. in this case, it is securing it. ] Despairing Bankers.—The number of suicides among the brightest and most capable of business men, bankers and others, will bo reduced to a minimum as soon as the specific virtues of Am.

The Christian Worker’s Convention held in the Wesleyan Church, Carterton, on Queen’s Birthday, was largely attended. Its success in every way exceeded tho anticipation of its promoters. Not only were numbers present from all parts oi the Valley, but several came up from tho Hutt and from Wellington. A small balance from the offerings, alter de. fraying expenses, has been banded to the Chairman ol the Hospital Fund. Wo loam that it lias been the means of initiating similar conventions in other parts of the province. We are informed on good authority that the long vexed question, that has delayed proceeding with the deviation of lOil at Martiuhoruugb by tire Fealheraton Road Board, viz., the price of land required, has now beeu settled by arbitration, aud that the price agreed upon is T8 fls per acre.
