THE EXPRESS TRAIN.

TO THE KDITOB, *■_£„—*l see by your paper that the ezprosa train Is gnlng to sop at Hinds. But how are the ground parrots (ir.okator*) at the North Rangltata to make nae of h ? There are a good many of ua In thla oorner. If we drive to Hinda will tho OomuiiealoDera give us stabling for our horses free of expense tlil we oome baok, or grant ub licenses for hotels f Another thing I want to aek Ib how a man oan drive baok m the dark. Aa there are telegraph poles on tbe road tho traveller after dark may easily get killed against one of them and I am sure If I do I *?ill go for the Goveroment for damagea. Toere mus; be something done for ua, as we Cinnot leave here by train at present. If one goes to Timaru on business it takea two days to get baok again. If the Commissioners would only plank the north r-llway bridge ao that one oould rldo aoroaß and get some train, it wonld not be so bad, for there are plenty of trains ronnlnp, though they ere not run '0 suit the farmers &b they should be. But It'a a oase of " Scotland for ever, o!ever men at every end of It!" —I am, etc , G bound Pabbot, Rangltata Borhh, Ootobar „ 1889
