Bannockburn.
(From our own Oorresondent.) : r i After some weeks of scorching weather, we have at last got a welcome change in the shape of a couple of days' steady rain, which has had the effect of freshening things up a bit. GRASS fIRES. Some evil-minded person or persons have been amusing themselves, and at the same time damaging the property of the Kawarau Station, by setting fire to the grass on the surrounding hills. Grass, in this part of the.country, is not so plentiful that it can be burned at any time, by unauthorised persons, and I think, that if these offenders were found out they would get a hard time at court.
