Pohangina Notes.

.4* [FBOM OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT. 1 On Wednesday last a very heavy thunderstorm was experienced here accompanied by rain, and hail the size of marbles. In many places the land was as white as if a fall of snow had taken place. i Grass is growing well and the appearance of the stock has improved in consequence, the gardens also look well, being forward in blossom the variegated colors of which have a picturesque and very beautiful effect. Large crops of potatoes are being planted, and with ordinary luck the results should be profitable. The settlers are now preparing for the opening of the local creamery, and there will be a large number of milk suppliers this season. No wonder, for there is money in it both for the farmers and the tradespeople. Our xoad*i noy are somewhat improved, with the short spel} of fine weather we have had. I observe the local body has taken no notice of a dangerous part on the Valley road up the side cutting from the Hotel, a few chains from the Pohangina road, which has been left untouched since the heavy flood. If not attended to there will probably be an accident before long. The rush of water on one side of the road, out away a portion and left it almost perpendicular. The Koad Board should be ashamed of their neglect. 'awmmwammawawmmmmimam
