DITTOS. (Prom Our Own Correspondent.) Sharp frost s at night, with fine days, is the rule here now—grand weather for the steam threshers. They have left our neighbourhood for a time, but will return when they have had a share of the produce of other districts. With oats Is l|d per bushel, the outlook is not very encouraging for farmers. The average yield per acre has been light, owing doubtless to the floods in the spring and harvest time, when a good deal of damage was done on low-lying lands. Our electors, and particularly the women folk, turned out well for the licensing elections, there being a strong sentiment in favour of prohibition. We have had a visit from the Rev. Mr McDonald, of Otautau. He preached to a good congregation at Dipton in the morning and evening and at Fernhills in the afternoon.
