Birmingham Notes.
[FROM OCR OVTS CORBE^POVDEKT.I The public may be weary of reading about the state of the main Kimbolton road, between Birmingham and Pembertou, but really there is an excuse for my giviug voice to the settlers' grievances. Yesterday, about a mile out of the township, a loaded dray was upset on the road, which is a sea of mud aud full of holes, and the unfortunate draymen were up to their knees in liquid mire, freeing the horses and unloading. On tho Oroua Valley road, between the river and Apiti, tho recent rains have caused slips in several places, and it is only with the greatest difficulty that a dray can pass. Ou Wednesday Mr Jansen, while passing one of these places, met with an unpleasant accident. ] Three of his horses went over the cutting and fell a distance of thirty feet. Several accidents have occurred at this point, but nothing has been done, and this in face of the promises made by the Government. j
