Th« town was nn«/jnnllv laid off hy Mr Wn.ilh'y. the th.'ii District Surveyor. l»ut ha« never 3ince neen con- ' nected with th" tri? svst.'m. The ori?;t«-0 survey p"s?a have ahnnst wholly - : peared, and ifc is a matter of !<• • -"^i!! ! difficulty to identify the rights <>f t'te different own»ra. Thurn is rea«'»n to h«---i lieve too that the oriyinai survey of the town was not faultless, thf n«»«fi'<i'it y beiotf therefore that rights will l»e foiin 1 to nvorlan in si»m« canes. It is oprfain'y of th" first, irnnortance that a" thw m:certainty should 'hj removed, because ' U'iti] an ac'nra'i; survey is mad*\ and »he ■ whole rtf the. «ft«ti'>ns con»»eoti».l wi'h the H'/onnmetrical system, it misrht he a difficult matter f<ir section holder* to I prove their titlo. The niatt«v has in a S'Mne yone '»nyond *h« a' solute control of the Government, and th^ oily way therefore of <rettiti!r th-' r-s survey made is f<»r the section hollers t-> asjree amongst ' th •m'-pives to accept the n»'W hmindary : lines which wnuld have to he laid down i W« h.'li«ve the area om each side of Broadway is sufficient to stive each owner thfl frontage claimed, l»ut it »ni','ht turn ! o»if t'mt th« present divilini li'ikjs I wo»ill have to lie shifted a few inches eith«r way. Mr OrwiifM-l pr »mi^d to c »nf«r with Mr MontjrDinery.

A programme of more than ordinary attractiveness and merit ha* been put forward for the occasion, and the »ntertainment altogether should l>e a thofouThir «Mijoyihlt» one. The object for which *h:» p^rfornnnce has been got up is one w'n'oh should command th»; (hei^ty sunp-'H of the c>»m»n<in : ty.

Mr and Mrs Men tenth reached Reefton ' shortly aftwr 10 o'ehwk on WedneTiay ifght last.

The Reefton Town ( Hu>d turned out for the occasion and ]ierfiirmed in front of the hotel, tlio pro- ' ceediu^s c<<ncludini{ with three cheers for Mr and Mrs Meutoatli. The reception was alto(/ether a very enthusiastic one and j must have been very gratifying to the t '•'Wsetifative of the district. i T> .i ryfi^rencu to the V ilunteer parade I o:i .Moudiy last wo oifthtad to uieutiun <

that to Captain Burnham and the other officers of the corps is due the whole credit of the efficiency which the uu'inht-rs <»f the company displayed in their drill. There is a Government drill inductor for the West Coast, Lieut. Spence, of Hokitika, bat for some reason or other that gentleman has not yet been able to visit Reefton. Mr Newby, agent for the Equitable Insurance Society of the United States, is now in Reefton, doing an active canvass. The Equitabid has Sk-«m ertiablisiin I sin c 1859, and in the interval the growth and expansion of its business has been pheuoniinal. Of the five leading insurance companie* in the world it now shows the largest surplus over liabilities. The Rev. Chas. Penney will preach in the United Methodist Free Church Reefton, on Sunday evening next, subject •'Christianity in the first century of the Christian Era." Intelligence reached Reefton early on We lnesday morning last, of the striking of the reef in the Welcome No 8 level. The l»-'w was met with about 23ft. sooner than was expected, according to survey, and shows a thickness of al»ont eighteen inches. Later reports state that the st me shows good gold. The work of pulling down the Energetic machinery W Keen com:i.«Mice 1. and very soon t!in who!.* of it will be loaded for conveyance to Greyniouth, where it will be re erected at the Tyneside c->lli*ry. At the Wealth of Nations mine the work of constructing a chamber on the main level ha* just been complete I, an 1 instrn -tions are now awaited from the directors in Greymouth before starting to sink on the reef. During the construction of the chamber the work of driving north on the stone was suspended A meeting of the County Council was hold last night, to consider the steps to be taken iv reference to the constitution of Hospital and Charitable Aid Board under the Act of last session. Mr Craig occupied the chair, and the subject having bt;en dHCtts^e 1 at some length, it was decided to communicate with the Government on the subject, and the meeting was adjourned until to-day. Mr C. M'Gee has sold the Nelson Hotel, Nelson, to >lr 'T.^Harley. Mr NI G c will retire from business. The Imlf y>arly meeting of shareholders '; r.) tlu- Red Qiwn Company was hell last ! .filing, Mr A. Horn in the chair. The I Diectos' R'i«»rt and Btlaiice-sheet were I r -a I and adopted. The following gent) ■• ■ men were elected Directi»rs : — Messru A. Horn, Bushes, Rome, Sontgen and Bai!i-j, and Mr H>m was subsequently re* :ip|Niinted Chairman of Directors. Messrs i Mitford and Cumming were reelected Auditors. The success attending this Contpany's operations is eminently pleasing, especially in the face of the false representations made some months sint'fl as to the prospects of the mine. - tt'esfport Few person are aware of the extensive nature of the victualling on board the great Atlantic ocean steamers. Each vessel is provisioned as follows fir the passengers and crew : 3500 ibs of butter, 30001 bs hams, 16001 bs of biscuits (exclusive of those supplied for the crew), 80001ns of grapes, almonds, titrs, and oth«r dessert fruits ; 15001 '^ of jams and jellies; tinned meats, GOOOlbs ] dried beans, 30001bs ; rice, 3»KX)lbs ; onions, SOOOlbs; potatoes, 4 tons; flour, 300 barrels ; and eg-js, 1200 dozen. Fresh vegetables, dead moat, and live bullocks, sheep, pigs, geese, turkeys, ducks, fowls, fish, and casual game are generally supplied at each port, so that it is difficult to estimate them. Probal ly two dozen bullocks and sixty sheep would l>e a fair average for the wh do voyuga, an 1 the rest may be inferred iv proportion. During the summer months, when t welling is heavy, twenty-five fowls are often used in soup for a single dinner. The final spurting event iv connection with the Rohiir Hood Company, took phceou Oct 30th, when th- consultation on the Melbourne Oup, the N<-w Zcn'and and Canterbury cujw, was drawn. There wore 3(5,375 shares takeu up out of the total U'ltoiiut offered. A Committee of the sunscribers was appointed to conduct f.'ie drawing, which, considering the very ltrj/o number of ballots to be manipulated s.> many tint >« over a* each racy w« drawn ■-vmnttely. and tha ua'iH 1 course had to be aloj.tel with rngnrd to tha vari >m hp ies of cash bonds, entailed a considtrable amoii it ->f lab.»r upon the g'-utlemen com* posi'ig 'he committee. Howev , the longest diy lias an ending, aid u'timately all the numbers on thu nminin<ith progr liimie were successfully plac^f 1 , ai d the 'v ;ky vimier* in prospective allotted. T ! io following resolution was unanimous'/ c irriedal tlu-a Ijmrnment for refresh in eit ; " The sul.scribers present at the final drawing of the series of consultations projected and carried out so satisfactorily by tie R"!'in Hood Company, desire to tiMtify tli.-ir hi^h appreciation of the admirable manner in which the drawings have always been conducted. They en. ped-illy wish t<» rec«»rd this on the present uccasion, it being on the largest scale ever attempted iv the c<»lonie». From firat to last the drawings have been conducted in a luauuer calculated to iuspire (he greatest <!ontUeiice in the proiu<«*ew, aud without tht'iilightest mistake or hitch."
