WAITARA NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent). The Waitara Agricultural Society held a well-attended and successful meeting on Thursday eveniisg, Captain |)ugdale in the chair. After full discussion a prgranin}6 was drawn up and l*ft in thg' of' Messrs. Q. Y. Tate, B. Higneit, and M. Jones, to revise and to obtain a proof from the printer to be submitted to the next meeting, Although Waitara has awakened up rather late to the desirability of fo-m----ing such a Socioty, there is every prospect of the first Show being a success ] as great interest is being taken iu the! initial proceedings. The poll to borrow a sum of £SOO to establish a library and reading-twin will be taken on the 26th inst., and is is earnestly hoped that ths proposal will be o&rried. There is very g.flit n<iccasity fop i»n institution of 1 thja description in order to couoteiact influences of a far ie=s innocent character; and the action of tho*e who have persovered for so long to carry the scheme is deserving of hcaity tupport and commondation.

But they " fell in " j badly—up to their necks!-as they usually do. | Tho s.s Otnrama M't last night, XJoi" cwjn -cn-ia'a of Qo§ cjtiartars of beef, 3000 Giro sues of lauah, 500 carcase# mutton, and 75 ca'ka of tallow. Democracy ia evidently extending its sway to the unknown regions. The vagaries of Society —not Horticultural —are somewhat arousing, and I recently read of a lady who had be n bewailing the loss rf a rathor i 1 b"«d hut extremely wealthy noighlpur, who had beep liWrftl iti~ his help to ner coun'r}' ohapities, <' Mr. -—i is (load," faid t-be; "he was bo good end kind and helpful to me in all sort a of ways; ho was so vulgar, poar deir fellow, wo could not know him in j but we shall mett h'm in Heaven!
