WAREA.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. An accident uappentd on the Waie'a road on Saiuuay to Mr W. RRobin on, grocer, ot Pungarehu. As A. Robinson, with Mr Knight, fnm t.i« sawmill, was driving down a small hill u«ar Mr Julian's (-enr.j, the horse suddenly bolted, from what cause nobody knows. The strength of tne two men was not enough >o pull the animal up. It galloped down the road for a few ehatns ( and then turned two somersaults and droppe' dead on the road. The only damage done to the buggy was a broken shaft. The two occupants kept tneir seats until horse stopped, and escaped injury. In the same locality last week Mr C. N. K*n(£s grocery buggy was smashed to pieces. Mr A. Alexander, who lately bought Mr G. Riddell's farm and all live stock, is now shearing abou; 5000 sheep. The propoaed cricket match between Wajea and Rahotu, arranged for last Saturday did not come off, Wares at tne end not being able to gci a team together. The Warea hall ground; are now a little on the small side to what they u-cd to be, Mr Mac Donald having fenced off he small section the au'norities had the use of. Through talking about taking his front paddock for a recreation ground ihey have lost all. The catalogues of rhe Cape Egmont Show, 10 be ncld next month, should be available shorty. I have heard there are over 200 classes. Me ere A. Yates and Co., of Auckland, have promised a bronze medal for the best collection of cut blooms. A dance wi!l be held here nt/ct Tuesday, 27th inst. Mr Harry Pelham, who has been troubled with a bad knee lately, is progressing favorably. The directors of the local factoryare taking about 'goinjj its) for a, cheese plant next season. The potato blignt i* still troublesome. Three other ocal crops have been completely destroyed by blight. Two crops out of the three, I might add, have not been sprayed with Bordeaux mixture, but ti.e other has. - The man that had his potatoes washed out by the flood last week was seen planting the small tubers again. lam afraid they won't take root and gjow again.
