AUCKLAND
When almost" every one here was praying, night and day for rain, it seemed like a mockery to talk of prayers in our churches; but prayers or no prayers, it was all, the same, and there is no immediate prospect of the drought ending. More and more wells are drying up, bnt new ones are. being dug, and some of the old ones have been deepened. Sp we do not, exactly expect to die this year from want of water, it is expected that Mr Brog&en will contract to supply us for the future: The drought has already done incalculable harm to all kinds of crops, and it is too evident that very much money will have .. to be exchanged this year for extraneous v supplies of breadstuff's.
