Can a sheep live without a tongue? is a problem that confronts a fatnioi in the Wnirnrapa district, as the result of the depredations of a hawk (states the “Age”).' On going up to a ewe that had been cast in a small hollow a shepherd found that one of its eyes had been taken out. He opened its mouth to give it a drink, and was astonished to discover that alxiut two inches had been torn, off the front part of the tongue. As there are few dead slice]' about and little food of a meaty nature, the hawks have become very daring.

A letter received in Auckland oil Wednesday with the superscription “posted at sea”, arrived by a strange chance some weeks earlier than it was expected. The mail steamer Ventura, hound from Sydney to San Francisco, discovered two stowaways on board when some days out at sea. and as the American law renders the captain liable to a penalty for landing stowaways, wireless communication was established with the Sonoma. As the vessels approached each other, tile passengers and crews collected letters which they had not expected to post until port was made, and as the stowaways were placed on the Sonoma for passage hack to Sydney, the mails were exchanged. A eorerspondeiit writes:—A meeting of share-holders of the Wntaron Cheese Factory Ltd. unanimously confirmed the proposal for the erection of a but-ter-making plant at Wntaron l*a<torv. The plant is to he an up-to-date one and machinery etc. is being ordered. This factory when completed will he the most modern on the Coast and if the quality of the butter turned cut proves as successful as the cheese has done in the grading stores of the past, it is sii|ie to meet with equal competition on the open or home market. There is no doubt at Wntaron that dairying is going to he a great boom to South Westland as the years advance and particularly when the rivers are bridged.
