Notes from the South

(Rom OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) THE PAST WEEK

has been very uneventful locally, and there is very little to write about. The weather has been fine, with a rising temperature, and the rains still keep off.

The invitations have long since been issued for a reception at Government House on the Queen's Birthday, but if the present heat is maintained it is to be feared that General and Mrs. Black will not find the rather limited capacity of Government House over-taxed by the attendance, although many will go out of compliment to the hosts.
