SXItATKMID. [l'rom Our Own Correspondent). The people who visited uic Xaraaaki &how speaJi in high terms vi the splendid exhibits of stock, more especially in the cow line, Jerseys and Ayrshire* being considered equal to anything in the Uominion. The man who was recently killed c-n the l'ohokura Saddle again points cut the utter failure of the police to grapple with the sly-grog trallic carried on out on the railway works. Settlers are up in aims and talk of a deputation to the Minister of Justice.
