Te Rau-a-inoa.

(from OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Thia place baa long eoj iy .l < in. tation for its nurnb.r cf bacbel but on the 28th of last month the ii. redaction in the ranks of this formidable body took placs. On that di e Mr Wm. Shaw, of the Hauturu R . -.1 and Miss Sinden, daughter of Mr m l Mrs Sindeu, Pirongh, ©tnbarkid in the good old ship of matrimony.

To rate is the b ? ■_ thing that can happen for tbe woer , because then tbe will be ia a p i i n o demand that Parliament s i o them the benefit of the “Alvin? to Settlers Act.” AU riglr. th: k : c ; filers will be glad to as.-is: tbe own■ rs in this matter, thu- ensuring .he prosperity of the district .
