Rangiwahia Notes.
[from our own correspondent.] Last Friday night was one of the wildest experienced here for years. The wind blew a hurricane, and at times fears were entertained for the safety of certain camps and houses. Although some slight damage has been done, nothing serious has happened. A number of standing trees were blown across the road between Pemberton and Birmingham. During the gale Mr Roscoe was the unfortunate looser of one of his best milch cows which was killed instantaneously by a falling tree. Mr J. James, of Pemberton, met with «i nasty accident on Friday at work. The axe he was using slipped, and struck one of his feet with great force, inflicting a deep wound. He is now recovering slowly but it will be some weeks before he will be able to get to work again. Mr H. Hickford has now taken the shop lately built by Mr McKeunan, where he intends shortly opening up a stock of goods suitable for a country store, including all the articles necessary for the supply of the settlers around.
