A BAND FOR BOTHWELL. A large meeting was held at Mr Paul's Hotel on Friday evening, the 20th inst, of persons desirous of establishing a band, Mr Perkins occupying the chair, and it was resolved that a band should be formed, to be called "The Bothwell Band." Mr G B Sealy was elected president, and Messrs N Paul and S Arnett secretary and treasurer. There was also a good working committee appointed, consisting of seven members. A subscription list was opened, and already nearly £20 promised towards the purchase of instruments. There are some fine young men resident on the township, several of whom are good musicians therefore there is no good reason why Bothwell should not establish and maintain an efficient band of instrumentalists.

BOTHWELL. I notice that Mr G B Sealy, "who is without doubt an enterprising and speculative individual," is erecting a fine large building at Apsley, near the railway terminus," to be used I believe as an hotel or Coffee Palace; also a general store the whole being under one roof, and in the rear of the building there will be good stabling and sheds for vehicles. Messrs Brown and Philpot are the contractors, and it is expected the work will be completed by June next, there will then be no lack of accommodation for passengers to Apsley.

Mr Sealy was only 38 years of age, and leaves a wife and two children, also a daughter by a former marriage, to mourn their sad loss.
