(From our own correspondent.) The new church that has been under construction for the last six months is now nearing completion. The plasterers are doing the final work and will be finished in a fortnight. We expect to have the opening ceremony on the second Sunday after Easter. The building presents a handsome appearance, and is a great credit to the parish and town. A ‘ working bee ’ has been formed to improve the fences and grounds, and has already shown signs of its existence. The Te Akatea Coal Co. are opening up their new mine; the railway is now completed, and coal will be on the market by the end of the present month. Employing 300 miners, as the company will, it ought to swell the humbers of our parish.
