OHINEMURI. (from our own correspondent.) Paeroa, Friday.
StLeons' circus and menagerie arrived here from Katikati last evening. A performance will be given here to night find the company will very probably go on to Te Aroha to morrow. One of the troupe lost a fifty guinea gold watch whilst assisting to extricate a waggon from that " slough of despond," called a road between Mackaytown and Owharoa. It has taken twenty horses two days to bring the circus property over the road in question, and the members of the troupe say it is the worst road they have ever met with during the whole of their travelling experiences throughout the Australian colonies. This is a nice description of a main trunk line of road which has been open for traffic during the last 8 years, and it is discreditable alike to the local and general governing bodies.
