Awaroa.

(from our cwn correspondent.) Since writing my last notes, ’he weather has taken a sudden change, and we have bad the hottest and driest spell experienced for some years. The country all round is nothing but bush fires and the atmosphere is heavy with smoke. Tbe burns are reported good in all directions, and from my own observations I have seer nothing to equal this season’s burns, ever since the king Country lands have been opened. Hundreds of acres of rubbish and second growth have been cleared up and killed and in a year or two when the grass comes again many rough looking places will have quite adifferent appearance. So far 1 have heard of very little damage being done, excepting an odd post or two and a little grass here and there, whore the logs were thick. The grass on some of the lighter Boils is beginning to look a bit brown and parched, but tbe greater part is still looking green and standing tbe dry well, this being quite a contrast to h 1-. -5 ■ - H-1 pnri. , '-’T’CJ r/ irn • ri»'”- :- r ’l , '> Wn’k to.
