Yesterday the teachers of the schools connected with the above union enjoyed a very pleasant picDic at Kiverhead, at the invitation of Mr. J. Limb, of the Waitemata Mills. About 100 teachers and friends embarked on board Captain Caseys steamer 'Gemini,' and, after a pleasant trip of about two hours, arrived at Hiverhead, where they were received by Mr. Lamb, and after inspecting his biscuit factory, with which all were well pleased, proceeded to the reservoir at the back of the premises. At three o'clock Mr. Lamb invited all to an excellent dinner, served in one of the apartments of the mill. After dinner, Mr. T. Macfarlane took the chair, and called upon Mr. S. H. Smith, the president of the Union, % thank Mr. Lamb for his generous hospitality. Three cheers were given for Mr M Mrs., and Miss Lamb. Mr. Smith conveyed to Mr. Lamb the hearty thanks of the teachers. Mr. Lamb, in reply, said that he had always sympathised with those who were endeavouring to do good, and he believed that Sunday-school teachers were doing good. Mr. Bevbridge proposed, and Mr. Lamb seconded, a vote of thanks to Captain Caset, who, in respond ing, said it gave him great pleasure to convey such a company. The steamer arrived at the Queen-street Wharf about half-past six, everybody seeming well pleased with their day's enjoyment.
