MOSGIEL.

(From our own Correspondent.) November 30. During the past week the weather has been rather too fine, Rain is much vs anted by the producers, oats and other cereals being finite high enough for the latter class already. I'he travelling public would find it more enjoyable if the dust could be got rid of. They appear to have increased wonde> fully of late, i' one can reckon so by the stunning trade the coaches are doing, and those who have had doubts concerning the Ciutha Railway and the proposed extension across the plain of the Taieri being a success may get those doubts removed by ocular demonstration or by a squeezing process as a fare in or on our daily co iches. How it is that the telegraph has not been extended to Outram is a puzzle, the necessity of which was shown by the Provincial Council two sessions ago. Resolutions were then passed and promises made that there would not be any further delay. Eighteen months have rolled by aud no sign of this jet. 1 fancy because the inhabitants have not petitioned the head of the department that personage considers they do not wish to have the use of the wires. Might I conjecture that haste in this matter from the General Government would weau us from Provincialism. The district is improving fast, and the people are getting wealthier, in spite of being badly governed. Private enterprise, however, docs not fag, etnbankm nta A c., for prevention against floods being constructed, and fhe new buildings rising in the p'ace of others that have served their day clearly convinces me that the spirit of progress is anmngst us.
