I The annual Church of Sngland pic»nic [will be held in Mr Pick's Paddook to-day jwing to the abWrice of several of the stewards from town.

Crushing will be resume* m»4hw««»*a ef a day or two by the Golden Treasure Company. A short stoppage has been occasioned owing to the neceseity of?: f tf&^mwMt on4strengthening the engine a^ti oa9 & ' which after long usage and.disuse bad become i rotten and unsafe. As «oon as these repairs I are out of hand, the company will start upon 'a lone season of crushing, and as the "nine i> sin arst-clasi order for gating nut stone, and the reef presents a splendid appearance both j in regard to bulk and payHbleness, shareholders may rely upon a prosperous future. In our last issue, when referring to the receipts of the ba«aar» held during the Christmas week, we find that we considerably undewstimled the takings of p aoh, Tbe gross receipt' of the Methodist bazaar were £115 instead of £50 as we stated, while the .receipts of the jCUbolic bwaa» should have been olaced at £177 instead of £!70. At tbe tfme we wrote we had no mean* of know, ing what the actual receipts w.>rp and merely gussed at the amounts, the result showing that in these two items we were £72 ander the m%rk } the figures tlms showing very muob better than we expected, of which we are vpry glad. We have to acknowledge tbe receipt from Mr T. Lee, the local agent, o f a very jea|l| pot-up and convenient almanac of th* New. Zealand Insurance Company for tbe current tyear. * Owing to * the absence of the County i Chairman and Mr Trennery a* Hamnden, the [meeting of the Council i&efjrff&sy^ill] fprobftbly be adjourned.^ ■*• k * •* r * ' ! A large number of returned Reefton miners jhnve been upon the tip-toe of expec'ation for isome time pa«t as to the result of the Seven* jteen-Mtle rush. At th£gjam«^%f«?ft 4ben HocalitT a sh^ft w«s being sunk on a lar?e Hut contiguous to the prospecting claim, and ;the general belief was that if the shaft bottomed on gold,, the diggings would rival iKumara in extpnt. Wi hin the last day o£ : how3V»r, news has come to hand that sthe shaft had proved a " duffer." Whether this is absolutely cor-ect or not, we are junaWe to say, but such is the report current.

The (situation of the "home" of the "lyre" is :thus left in *otne degree of uncertainly. ' Another change has taken place in the Constitution of tbe Press Agoney. Tbe Press lAssocintion as it formerly existed has been jciissolved, and a new combination has been formed which absorbs both. -the <• t^d jPwss fAeency and the A*sociati<in^id^l hejile *forth be known as the " Press Association." We shall be enabled, therefore, to in future lay before our readers more eomp'ete televraphio intellfeenfte from all parts of the 'Polony.

The Oriental mine in the Soldier's listriet is reported io show prospects second 0 none in the fMd and the directors of the . iompany are now considering a propnsnt for be supply of crushing pow«r. Should the ■ompany make terms wiih the owners of the Tnion battery or erect independent maihinery, little doubt » entertained of the myableneds of tbe stone, of whi^h t^ern i ;reat abundance. The Keep it-Dark mine laying just yielded its shareholders a subtantial Chri'tmas»box in the shape of a iine»penny dividend, the bnttery is once nore rolling on its long and pro»perou* way. The Golden Treasure promises to take a easing position amongst the Murray Creek mines during the current. year, and there now teems nothing in the way of a long series of dividends t» the lucky holders. Great cedif h due to Mr M. Birne for his energy and 1 in bringing this mine irto the front rank. Fonr times was the^ ground 1 iilen up, worked atid aband^npd, but be aeyer loct faith in it, and ra/ter several years |f patient explorition he has at' last th ■ f^tisfaction of seeing it admitted on all wae» 1 <|o be hardly second to any one on thp fi Id iThathemay enjoy the reward., which hejvy< m well earned i» now the |te|er'M wish.

Aie very earliest opportunity of making the . property re productive, Operations bave Keen resumed at both tbe Energetic and ( iiTeal h of Nations mines, and there is rea«en< to believe that bolh will very shortly e»t<r thp rank of producers.
