CHERSEY

From Our Owu Correspondent. I suppose you are wondering what has happened to me that T have been silent so long. Now that thing i are beginning to look up a bit m the township, I have thought fit to Ben-* you some " copy " again. Of course the talk here during tue last few days has been of the Brunner calamity, and I am pleased to Bay that Mr E'iruun, (station master here), with commendable promptitude, had a subscription list out on Saturday. This morning he telegraphod £10 to Grey mouth, and t ere will be more to follow. There have been many changes here since my last. Mr T. Doig has built a neat resi dence m the township, and has taken up bis abode among us. The blacksmith business lately carried on by Mr Ohilds has been taken over by Messre Iromidu and Son, and they have no reason to complain of their venture* Since commencing business they have been very busy, and Cherteey psospeots are looking very much better. Mr J. (Shannon, from Kakaia, has also oommenoed business here, having taken over the property of Mr Murphy, oooupied some . years ago as a grocery establishment by Messrs Fletcher and Black. Mr John Downie, the lessee of the Onertsey Saleyarda property, has been busy now for some time dipping, and seems to have had plenty to do. I forgot to tell you ia my last, that though the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile shed was olosed for some months, Mr Moody has returned, the shed is again open and business is being carried on. The projected shifting of the Chertsey and Fendarves schools, the former, to Overdale (half way between Chertsey and Bakaia), •nd the latter to Chertsey has caused much interest to be taken here lately m school matters. The advent of intending con* tractors to look at the premises has kept the interest going. By the way, I understand Mr Murphy is going to build a new resi dence. Things are undoubtedly looking up. I must not forgot to let you know that the Library Committee have had several meet* ings lately, and have enclosed their fine collection of books m a handsome cupboard. They are spending £9 on new books and revising their rules, so that a stricter system of supervision may prevent the books receiving such bad usage as some of them hare had m the past. From what I hear, I believe the Rev. Mr Rapley is going to take up Church work m North Canterbury. He will be greatly missed here, as his services have always been very highly valued and himself very popular. I must wißh him success m his new sphere. We hope to have our bath m use next summer, and steps are to be immediately taken to avail ourselves of the Council's per mit to use water. During tbe winter it will, we bope, be silted up sufficiently to hold the water without loss* Last Wednesday evening the Football Club was resusoitited, and practices are now being held and well attended. The member ship is good and from what I have seen I believe they will acquit themselves credit ably; The officers are— President. Mr Peter Doig, seDr. ; Vice-President, Mr J. Downie ; Secretary and Treasurer. Mr A. Ironside; Selection Committee, Messrs B. Stewart, D. T. Todd, and the Captain, who- ia yet to be elected. On Saturday night the School Committee met m the schoolroom. There were present Messrs W. Oakley (chair), Ealham, 6. Campbell, J. Steward, J. Copland and Scarlett. The Master's report was received showing the roll to he 72, and average for month 49. Correspondence was received from the Board of Education, re removal of Pendarves School to Chertsey, and Chertsey School to Overdale. The Committee cer tainly thought that the Pendarves School would meet the increased wants at Chertsey, and that the Chertsey School would suffice for Overdale. However, beyond this they would express no opinion, bub leave the matter to the Board's discretion. It was decided to grant holidays from April 2 to April 13, provided it is intended to re move the school, bnt m the event of the Bchool not being removed Good Friday and Easter Monday only. The Cemetery Board held its annual meeting on Saturday evening. There were present— Messrs R Campbell (chaii), J. Copland, J. Strirgfellow, iienr., P. Muphy, G. Vucetich and the Secretary. The Oiinir man read the annual report and balance sheet, which were adopted, the latter showed a credit balance of £2 Is 91. Two complaints about the sheep treap i using on graves were received and dealt with. A complaint made by Mr Vucetioh turned out to be a clear case of misunderstanding. Ir. was decided to invite applications for tbe post of sexton. Immediately afterwards a meeting of the Domain Board was held, Mr K. Cwnpbell (chair), and M^srs J. Stiingfeliow, Murphy and the Secretary being present. The Secretary read theOhai man's annual report and balance sheet, which ware adopted on the motion of Messrs Stringfellow and Murphy. The balance fheet showed a credit balance, Bank of New Zealand, hakiia, £18 14s Id. The Chahman refe red to the Secretary's services, and moved that a sum of £2 2a be granted him. This was seconded by Mr Murphy. It was agreed to invite tenders for a crop of oats, subject to certain conditions. Mr Stringfellow kind ly offered to sow and harrow grass and clover seed. A sub-committee was appointed to consider tenders. It was agreed to nominate Mr Copland as a member of the Board m place of Mr Ohilds who had left the district. A vote of thanks to the Chairman and Secre tary for services concluded the business. March 30, 1896. ■■ ,

The Brunnerton Relief Fund.

Napier, March 30 A meeting; called by the Mayor m c nneoviun with the Brunner disaster was Will attended. Committees were appointed to m:\ka a systematic canvas of the town for subscriptions. The V r orking Men\a Clubs and Philharmonic Society are geMing up entertainmeuts, ar-d all the employerH of the Napier section of railway are contributing nob leas than half a day'd pay to the fond. Wellington, March 30 At a meeting of representative oitizens held this afternoon a Oommittet was seb up to arrange for the collection of funds m aid of the Brunnerton sufferers. A strong opinion was expressed lhat the families of those miners who bad been thrifty and had insurances on their lives should not. be allowed to suffer lots by this act), but that all should share alike m the distribution of the relief fund. The suyyestion was also made that the enfferersshould be removed from Brunner* ton to the neighborhood of largo oentres, m order that the children should have every facility m the way of education, and be properly fitted to fighb the battle of life, and have a better opportunity of obtaining employment as they grew older. Mr Duthie expressed the opinion that a representative Committee for the Colony should be set np 60 administer the fund. Surprise was expressed that nothing would be available from the Kaitangata Belief Fund, and some of the speakers said an explanation should be forthcoming as to the reason of the increase of the number of beneficiaries tinder that fund from 17 (at the date of the transfer of the fund to the Public Trustee) to 45 at the present time. Christchuroh, March 30 In addition to tht* Lancaster Pack Trotting Club's vote ot £50, the New Brighton Trotting OJub and the Plumpton Club have each voted £25 towards the Brunner fund. At a meeting of citizens to-day, a Committee was appointed to canvass the town. Subscriptions are coming In rapidly.

NAVAL DEFENCE

LORD BRASS EY'S OPTNION. Sydney, Ma'roh 30 Lord Brassey, referring to the ques tion of naval defence, says the British fleet can ngver be too large, so vast are the interests to be protected, but be cannot express any other feeling than that of satisfaction at the present naval position. He considers that what the Mother Country is doing, has done, «nd intends to do, is sufficient for the protection of every part of tne Empire, and thinks that when the time arrives, and the colonies are further advanced, and their resources much greater, we shall naturally look for the creation of a powerful Australasian squadron, paid for by the colonies and not by Great Britain. He did not, however, think fchat the moment was propitious, or that it was necessary to raise the quer tioa now. The Mother Country is doing all she should do, and she would be bound to do what she is doinp, whether she had the colonies or not, for the protection of her own trade.

While m Chicago, MrOharks L JKahler, a prominent choc merchant of Des Moines, lowa, had quite a serious time of it. He took such a severe oold that he oou'd hardly talk or navigate, but the prompt use of Chamber lain'B Cough Remedy cured him of his oold bo quickly that othere at the hotel who had badcoldß followed his example and half a dozen persons ordered it from the nearest drug store. They were profuse m their thanks lo Mr Eahler for telling them how to euro a bad oold so quiokly.
