It is very unfortunate for him, as lie has rather large undertakings in the farming line, and. lost time at the pre sent juncture means lost opportunity, and probably lost money as well as paSnaod inconvenience.

The cricket season is now practic ally completed, and tho Qeurie players were disappointed on tho 18tb owing to the Beni players, with whom they lvero to try conclusions, being unable to muster a team. PoBsibly tho mate)

Information lias been rocoived that
the appointment of a policc constable at Wongarbon is now an established fact, nud a line residence has been purchased from Mr. Nick Moore. Tho object of this appointment, it is un derstood, was to relieve the officer sta tioned at Geurie of a portion of tho district work, and it is quito evident that a practical lender has charge of tlie interests of tho Polico Department at Dubbo. Good work can and will always bo accomplished by men who aro nware that their soniors take an
intelligent interest in thoir welfare, and censo to regard thorn as more automa
tons.
