PIO PIO.
Own Correspondent.
On Saturday night the marquee, which has been serving as a school, was completely wrecked, by the wind which blew with hurricane violence. The next morning saw the local school teacher ruefully gathering up what remained of books and furniture. I suggest he purchase at the board's expense a tin of kerosene and make a bon fire of the wreckage.
Rumour has it that Messrs Verrall and Price have disposed of their blacksmithing business here. I hardly think the place warrants two blacksmith shops as yet. The recent bad weather has stopped all metalling, the roads being perfect quagmires in places.
