NOTES FROM THE WAK.

(By « Mulga Bill").

It is some time since I gave you any news from the Wakamarina, but "better late tha v i never."

The settlers have all burned their bush, the majority having cloan burns; most of the grass-seed sowing is done, and this warm showery weather should give it a start before the frosts set in. Caterpillars are plentiful, and are doing a lot of damage on several farms.

Both sawmills are turning out a fair amount of timber, and of good quality. Messrs lodge and Smart had a mishap to their log-hauler last week, but will be running again in a few days. It is to be hoped that the Road Board's heavy traffic regulations will not harapar this important mdusry, as many settlors are dopending on their eiroingd from those mills until their farms will bring them in a living. The lucky speculator on " Tat's " has gone—we know not whore. I, with others, had hopes of sharing his good fortune, but alas! all is vanity and vexation here on earth. The School Committee have come in for a fair share of "Colonial" thanks over the appointment of a teacher. The Committee ignored tho newspaper effusion? of opinions on the subject, which I think showed their good judgment, as we are all entitled to our own opinions,, and it is evident the Committee intend sticking to their own.

A certain party is roaring round the valley m search of "Bob the Fossicker." There is a price on "Bob's" head; Oh, where, tell mo where, has little Bobby gone?
