I would also point out that correspondence posted at Foxton in time for the 3 p.m. mail connects with the ferry steamer. In consequence of the re-ar-rangement of the hours of duty at the Foxton office, the Marotiri and Moutoa mails will, in future, close at 0.30 a.m. daily instead of 8 p.m. the previous evening.” Notification has also been received that the Manawatu Heads will now have a daily mail instead of tri-weekly. Tins has been brought about by Mr. Wishart offering to carry the mails daily for the same price as tri-weekly.

The Postmaster informs us that there are several post office boxes still unoccupied. Country residents should not lose sight of the fact that they may obtain a box at an annual ren--1 al "of 10/-.
