WAIMATE.
(fkom a corbespondent.) Our town is at present in a very unhealthy state, several people being ill of f ever _typhoid, I believe. It is supposed to have been originated by defective drainage and prolonged dry weather. We had some fun at the last meeting of the County Council. The proceedings of that institution are now really worth placing before the public. Some time since, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Manchester " buried the hatchet," as the first-named gentleman termed it; but if it was ever buried, it has been disinterred, and is now used as actively as ever. This community has grown to such an extent, and pabulum for newspapers has become so plentiful, that there is no room within the four corners of our sheets to contain it all, and it is found necessary to keep a local standing—l hear it has been stereotyped—"Crowded out, and held over till our next issue," <fcc. ; fortunately for the votaries of the turf, there is not yet such a crush of matter that racing news has to be crowded out.
