fFBOH OUB OWN COBBBSPONDENT.) Bulls, March 28. TheTui left the Bangitikei port on Thursday last for the purpose of towing the Fusilier off the Turakiua beach. As it was a very calm day and the steamer had not returned to port this morning, I am sanguine that she has been successful. Still they come ! Two captains and a staff- sergeant of the Salvation Army are now in our midst storming the devil's stronghold ! but as no one has been conquered during the last five nights, I begin to think they have about worked out this place. The Good Templars held an open meeting on Thursday last. The attendance was good and many of the songs and recitations were very entertaining Meetings of this kind cannot fail to do good. Mr Bromley, who was kicked by a horse on Monday, is now on a fair way towards recovery, and I am also pleased to hear that Mr Wheallan, who was partially paralyzed, is slowly regaining the use of his arms. A party of sportsmen, equiped with a tent and ether necessarys tor a two days' e'utiag, left for the Carnarvon la&e* on Monday, but had no sooner reached the camping ground than the Banger rode up and informed them that as the i-easoa In tkat part of the Wrllisgton provincial district bad not been gazetted, he wouM have to lay a-i information if the j shot a single bird on that side of the Bangitikei -Jiiverl They returned wiser but sadder men. and the " wee birdies " are atill laughing, or qnackiu*. Before long it will b» absolutely necessary to withdraw all restrictions as to shooting hares. a« on soaie runs they are * becoinitig a perfect nuisance. While taking a stroll the other evening I turned up no leas than 17 in about half an hour. In many young orchards they have killed a greater part of the two-year-old trees by, barking them. The outcome of the Salvationists obtaining the use of the schoolroom is that (or the future the consent of the whole of the Members of the committee, July summoned, must be obtained before the school can be used for other than scholastio purposes. The debate was very amusing, and suggestive of what' a few persons banded together will dare to do.
