Oparau.

(FROM OUR OWN J I read Mr Eastwood’s specific for potato blight and t uted it for futura use. Here ia another, which was given to me in the South as being a sure preventative: 1 tablespoonful of formalin to balf-a-gallon of water. -♦ I intend to try both this season. Tbe weather we have exoerienced lately has been composed of the usual samples ! The roads are getting deeper in mud. A prospectus is out for a launch company to run between the Oparau landing and Mr Armstrong’s homestead. Apply early to Mr Otto Bpurling, as shares are going off fast. When we get the mud launch going tbe members of the County Council can amuse themselves cs they think fit, as we shall then be able to negotiate the .worst bogs ‘and mud holes, B it blessed are they that expect nothing, for verily they shall not be dig, appointed. As the Government will not erect tbe bridge at Oparau it is about time some ono did, and I think we should put our labour together and do it ou--selves. It would not take long and Wd c raid do all the work, as there » e plenty of good tradesmen amongst out sutlers.
