Morrinsville.
o(From our own Correspondent.) Morrinsville, Thursday. Miss Fortune, the newly appointed teacher, arrived here last week, and reopened the school on Monday. Mr Aif. J. Rowe, who Ims been head stockman on the Lockerbie Estate for about four years, left here yesterday, having been promoted by the B »nk to the managership of their Richmond Downs Estate, in place of Mr H. H. Cholmondely. Connection by means of telegraph (or rather telephone) communication between here and Lichfield is expected to be completed this week. We have hitherto been connected with Te Aroha by telephone, but this has now been changed to telegraph, thus bringing Morrinsville into direct communication with Auckland. A much needed improvement also being now affected is that of making the telephone room sound proof, so far as the over-hearing of messages being despatched is concerned. Private business has been hitherto everybody's business (excuse the Irish way of expressing wlmt I mean).
