WESTERFIELD.

■waqwft *« Tffrwml flTra Klmc From a Correspondent.

A very pleasing event took place at the homestead of Messrs M*wson B others. Westerfield, on the i vnning of Friday hst Thi* consisted i-'h^ii-n-r andtUnce, given by Mr and Mrs T. Mawson to about forty friends and neighb >un-, in honor of M> and Mrs Kime, who are about to leav - the district. Mr Rime took charge of ihr Westerfield school six y.ara ngo. and has mo* been promoted to a much bettpr positioi. in the North Island. Mr and Mrs Kiuin liave so ordered 'heir liv, s »s to make (heir leavinar a regret to ever one who had tht privilege of being acquain ted with them This regret, however, is tempered wMi th& pleas ng n flection that they are gome to where grtatly im proved prospects are in store for them The dinner was laid in a big haU adjoin ing the dwelling house, and consisted of so many good .tiings that if described separately w- old require a whole co'umn. iherefor» it would be needless to attempt to specialise them The after diuner soeeches, which are not always of a very lucid nature, were wisely confined to three toaste—The Queen ; Mr and Mrs Kime. the gutsts of the evening ; and Mr and Mrs Mavson. Mr Mawson, who proposed the health of Mr and Mrs Ki^e, said many kind and nice thinzs about them ; and it need be scarcely aided that his remarks, w> warmly sp< k^n, ware received with great approbation by every one presenr. Mr Kime, with the modesty characteristic of hts gentlemanly nature, made a suitable reply* After the toauta were disposed of, the behests of Terpsichore received a due share of attention, and the muse of many twhikiing feet took possession of the floor. Then f*6m amidst an assemblege tastofuHy arranged floral decorations " Bright lamps shone o'erfdir women and brave men, And all wetit merry asa marriage bell.' till the mo aing constellation warned the generous host that the time had arrived to give the stirrup cup. and fipeed the parting guests The kindly and practical manner in which the youthful hostess Mrs Mawson attended to the wants other guests throughout the eight was beyond all praise. Mr Bray, who acted, •s violinist, will be gratefully remembered by everyone, i>>r his good nature and untiring greal in snpp'ying abundance of excellent mu*ic for tjlie dances. 1 " Too late I stayed, forgive the crime, Unheeded flew the hours ; How noiseless falls the foot of time That only treads on flowers."

TIMOTHY. I AM A BUYER OF FIRM-CLASS SAMPLES. F. FERRIMAN. FOE -AJLE. STRONG SHEEP NETTING, WITH CENTRE STRAND. F. FERRIMAN The Portable Water Barrow. The latest number of the Nineteenth Century has an interesting article upon the dread scourge of DIPHTHERIA, and, in introducing the subject, the writer remarks, that the latest epidemics in Russia swept away nearly all the children in some villages; and, in Prussia, no less than one sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying in the age of from one to five years succumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed in Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken in the expetiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally into and upon which dairy and kitchen siopshave been thrown. Without an infection by Bacteria or the poison* which they secrete, there is nodiphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable in the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is deiived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what i* otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to th»pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Bakrows can be put to various kinds of use, and they are so admirably constructed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cwt is comparatively small. Possession of one becomes an absolute means of fiweetness, comfort and profit. IMPROVED COPPER BOILERS. I have just received direct from the manufacturers a supply of Portable Copper Eoilbrs, with Patent Fnioke Sack Joint, and Semi-double Sheeted Frame—Galvanised. This Ireful Household Fequisite should be inspected, when its various excellencies of'construction, strength and serviceablcnfeS, will epeakfor themselves.
