DISTRICT NEWS
(From Our Own Correspondents.) URUTI. Our district muse has bad lier iiand.* full lately. She had three cases on at ,once —one being very serious—and h;;> to circulate between tins three houses. I-owever, she is most thoroughly cap-al-lt, and i.. - settlers lia.'t. every fai.A in her. We are all very sorry to hear of Mr. Stewart McGuinness' serio'i.v illness aiui trust he will soon be about again As "mine host'-' of the Urenui Hotel, bis affability and willingness to oblige gamed him the esteem and goodwill of all the settlers hereabouts. When lit retired and went on the land his tireless energy gave a valuable filip to local affairs. He is the mainspring of tin movement to get the Uruti roici deviation through, and so both for selfi.-h and unselfish reasons we trust be soon congratulatng him on a complete return to health.
The settlers along the Mokau road are complaining of the hosts of sanddies and mosquitoes about this season. I noticed in Chambers' Journal lately an article on these insect pests, and it stated that a little vaseline smeared on the face and hands and other exposed •portions of the body deterred these insects from biting. We are having Sydney weather at pre•sent. One wishes- sometimes one were an inhabitant of those sunny southern isles where a necklace and a wide smile are considered, sufficient full dress for all occasions.'
A Mr. Sullivan, from Tikorangi, has started a boarding house here in a house about half a mile from our general store. So far, I understand, he is making a great success of his venture.
