OREPUKI.
The weather for the last two weeks lias been extremely wet and stormy, but has at length cleared up, and promises to give us a chance to get our gardens under way. Very few have made a start planting, but every favourable opportunity will be eagerly seized to get seeds of all kinds sown. The farmers have not commenced to plough yet, the soil being far too wet. The dairy factory is I eing pushed on with all speed, and appears to be a very roomy compact building, and will be ready for work when the season comes round. School opens again on Monday next on the new site. The contractors for shifting the school buildings have had a run of very hard luck which has delayed them very much over the contract time, and caused them to incur a good deal of extra expense. Our Mutual debated the Direct Veto question last Monday evening, the Veto gaining by a large majority. At length there seems to be every probability that the valuable deposits of shale abounding in Orcpuki will be worked, and the vast wealth lying at no great depth under our feet will be converted into the circulating medium. Then Orepuki will boom. Aug. 23.
