Tli« question of re-jul justing tlio repicscntnlion for tlic novoral iidin»H of Pitilco County, evoked considerable discussion at the recent meeting of tlie Council, jis will jiiiporii \>y rct'errnco to our report thiMvof.

corned, by its Iving allotted a second representative in the Council. The t'uu'ks of (bo ritepayers of this liding are due t<> Crs Murphy, Chepmell, Smith, and Gould, who, in spite of stron-r opposition, insisted (h.it Te Aroha should Irivo two members, instead of one as heretofore : Or Gould especially distinguished himself in asserting the rights of Te Aroha to increased representation. At tlie conclusion of the meeting Or Murphy expressed his indebtedness to the llnee members for Waitoa for t!»e valuable assistance they had ivndered Te Aroha in this matter. The lion, Mr Larnach, Minister of Mine, accompanied by Mr Gordon, In snector of Mines, arrived in Auckland on Thursday evening, on his long- promised visit to the Northern gold fields. We are unable to state the dale of his probable arrival in this district, the latest inform ition received lust night, being to the effect thnt he had gone on to Whangaiei, but it will be well for those entrusted with matters of local interest to he laid before I him, to complete their an.ingcments as ; far as. possible. Ohinemuri Count 3^ Council will liold their monthly meeting on Situid.iy next. Sydney Smdlnun, a youth of about fifteen year" 1 , who recently i\ sided with his mother, a short distance below the Te Aroha Maori Pah, was la^t evening brought to Te Aroha in the custody of Sergeant Emerson, three separate ••hartje- 1 of hoise stealing from thus district having been preferred against him. The Sergeant arrested the prison -r on an island twelve miles beyond Kati Kati. lie, will be brought \\\), and formeily charged with the offence, before the Jdu.il J.P., this morning, and most piob.ibly be remanded.
