PAEMAKO.

(Own Correspondent.) The never failing topic of convers- , ation —the slate of the weather-has been an agreeable one in this district lately. So far the winter hat been one of the mildest on record. Theshortest day is past, bat as yet the weather has not taken up for good, and we are having nothing else bat rain, rain, rain, There is an old proverb that as the day# lengthen the cold strengthens, and we may have some heavy frosts yet. The substantia! periodical rises in the Home wool market comes as very acceptable news, not only to owners: of sheep, hot to all the inhabitants of the land. Fanners are laying themselves out to carry as many sheep over the winter as possible, so as to participate in the expected rise at the next wool sates. We are pleased to welcome to our district Mr and Mrs Robert Bwttey, who have jost come back frodrlntir honeymoon. Mr Watson, of Apiti. is at the pre- * sent time on a visit to his farm at paemakc. The very sodden detetb of Mr Jeremiah Ormsby caused qoite a gloom in this place, as he wa* a man who was well known, and highly respected by everyone, and on behalf of the settlers of this distsrict I extend to his widow and family and relatives their deepest sympathy.
