SETTLING THE PLAINS.
There is, says the Opunake paper, a group of Canterbury settlers on the Oeo block, and they appear to-have brought their Canterbury habits with them. Messrs M’Laughlin and Rotheray have had the plough already at work, although they purchased less than a year ago ; indeed, Mr M’Laughlin only bought his land 6or 8 months since, but his manager, Mr Kirkwood, has now 20 acres of wheat in by way of experiment. Mr Lambie has let a contract for felling 75 acres of bush, and Mr Forsyth has tenders in for an eightroomed house.
