Mr Early deserves great credit jVr the way he has pushed the work -ar ; ead. He has been going day and night since he arrived here, as the work was all behind owing to Mr Sayers, the local Road Overseer, being laid up.

All stock are looking well here at present, owing to the luxuriant supply of grass. I saw some of the fatest sheep here the other day that I have seen since I left Hawke's Bay. They were all fit for freezers.
