X. TjTBOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. On MtlMay, March 27th., Mecdermott’s Bioscope Company paid a visit to the district, and gave an exhibition of their views, etc., to a good audience. Some of the pictures were very clear and distinct, and were much appreciated by those present. Professor Scott, who accompanies Mr Maodermott, showed some very clever sleight of hand tricks. The weather is still very dry and is getting a serious thing for the farmere, as the turnip crops are nearly ruined for the want of rain. Some farmers are already turning stock on their turnips rather than lose them fill. Grass is almost dead, and everywhere feed is scarcer now than farmers have ever known it to be before In ilhe Waikato, If rain does not soon come cattle, sheep and horses will have a hard time to survive the winter.
