HAWERA.
[from our cor r e sr o n de nt . J BRANCH OFFICE OF THE MAIL, Friday Evening. Many travellers complain of the deceiving advertisement in the papers re Cobb and Co’s, coach service. Persons leave for south or north under the impression they will be carried on by coach from
Normanby to Stratford or vice versa. Nothing of the sort. They arc deposited at Normanby from south, and have to make the best of their way by horse or on foot to Ngaire, and there possibly stay the night ; and so when travelling from Ngaire to Normanby. I believe Mr During has gone up to see if the road is sufficiently good to take the coach through to Ngaire Station. It is to bo hoped he will find the road sufficiently improved to be able to carry out the time tabic, Auckland merchants are using every endeavour to push trade down here by way of Waitara. They have managed to get the freights from Manakau to Waitara much lowered, and are talking of building a steamer for the trade.
Mr O'Connor, of the Public Works Department returned yesterday to complete some work at the Tongahoe. It will take him some three weeks.
