(From our Correspondent.)
I have to announce with regret on the one hand and congratulations that our school mistress, Miss lngle-to-n, is leaving this week, to bo married shortly. We wish her .much happiness. She will be greatly missed here, as she is a general favorite. Mr A. 13. Jiftckson has sold his saddlery store to a Wellington gentleman and will be leaving the district shortly for a trip round before finally settling somewhere in tho Auckland district. Tho contractors for the road to To Araroa are making good progress, and by next summer it should bo a .nice drivo through the bush to To Araroa and back. Aill settlers are very busy just now finishing grass seed sowing, fencing, etc. There should be a-large increase of wool leaving this district- next year. The steamer H-aupiri passed here last week as the southerly wind was too strong for her to look in. She -is now here from Auckland unloading cargo and taking in wool. She experienced .a rough pas jure down from Auckland, but tho 1-lad-ing hero to-day is very good.
