WAIORONGOMAI. [From our own Correspondent.] Waiorongomai, Tuesday.

At the Te Aroha S, and G.M. Co.'s plant the lead ore arriving daily ia being put through the matting furnace, three shifts are constantly employed at same. At the Tailings Plant the Boss pans are being cleaned ont preparatory to a fresh start being made. Last week a meeting of the Wernhiko Public Hall shareholders was held af. the Wrtiorongomai Hotel, but as there was not a quorum present the business transacted was not important. I understand there is a small mortgage on the building, and as the mortgagee wishes to get in the "principle, it is likely that the shareholders themselves will advance the amount. A, somewhat ludicrous incident occurred to-dny, Mr Jamieson was engaged hauling out some logs on the side of the hill opposite Hie Alameila shaft, when the horse taking fright with a log attached, bolteJ down bbc lull at a furious rate, and

brought itself up by rolling Eeete over head in the County drain, about ahuntiretl yards from where it started. He was extricated without much difficulty, and appeared to be none the worse for his a> I venture. Football : I understand that a match' will be played on Saturday n<?xt T between a team selected from the hill and one from the flat. Being a purely local affair much intereot is beinsr shown, and I have no doubt there will be a good attendance of spectators. The match will be played in Mr Jansen's paddock. Onr local postmaster, Mr Bramo, has had some improvements made at the post-office. The verandah has been bearded in and turned into a conservatory, the letter-box has also received a covering 1 to protect it from the weather. A further addition has been made to Mr Souther's new cottage, making it one of the prettiest little villas in the township. ' _
