It is some time since you heard from me, principally because there is little to report. We liaVd neither township nor mills, so there is no industry to draw a floating population, but it is rumoured that Mr Birch, who purchased Mr F. Davies' property here, Contemplates sending milk daily into tyeilingtpri. Last week he brought abodi fifty' cows hf train,- but yfe have not yet ascertained he how intends supplying his customers on Sundays, when no trains run. Mr R. McDonald has come to re side on land in this district, and We hear of other places which are likely to be taken" itp before'long. Last Thursday Mr Lee paid his £,ilriuai iiispeetioii visit to the school.IH the tweiity'-gIA scitolprs .present; fourteen were presented IH standards and they were all successful in passing. The result should be very gratifying both to teacher and parents Considering the distance some children have to travel to school the attendance is exceptionally good. The average since Christmas is" twenty-fivej there being tWefltyeiglit on the vail. The inclement weather wliicil We have experienced lately has left a deal of water in the low lying Country aroiirict, arid the roads have taken their usual winter appeai'dtiCe — wet and muddy.
