Did I ever tell you A BEAUTIFYING SOCIETY had been formed in Palmerston? Its object is to improve the Square enclosures. Already a great deal has Ivin done to alter and beautify the very neglected look of the enclosures. Flower ■beds have been made, and allotted to different residents, who were willing to undertake the duty of attending to them. Shrnbs are planted, and the lawns and walks look quite attractive already. On Monday last some enthusiastic ladies called a meeting to see if arrangements could be made to hold A HORTICULTURAL SHOW in the autumn to raise funds for the Society. The meeting was very sm e---ful, and a strong committee was elected. The following are the officers: Airs 11. C. Alellsop, secretary; committee, Airs Gardiner, Mrs Fitzherbcrt, Mrs J. Strang, Mrs L. A. Abraham, Mrs Tripe, Afrs Freeth, Mrs (Dr.) Campbell. Airs Palmer, Airs Jamieson, Airs Wood, and Afrs Al. Cohen.
