TE WHARAU NOTES.

Own Correspondent. Saturday. The heavy rains of last wrek have damage to the roads in this district. A bridge has been practically destroyed on the Te Wharau-Flat Point road, and heavy slips have fallen in many places. Extra men, of whom a good number have been out of work at Te Wharau, have been put on to clear the slips and help to clear up the roads generally. "It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good.", The big fight in America has been the chief topic here for several months past, and now that the result is known it is quite surprising the number who thought the black man would win.

The many friends of Mr A. Douglas, of Lands End, will be gratified to hear that his health is slightly im-1 proved. Mr C. Smith, of Gler.burn, who has been spending his winter vacation in Masterton, returned to Glenburn last Monday. Mr H. Harrison, the successful contractor for the painting and de« corating of Te Wharau Boarding House, has about completed the work, and the building generally is greatly improved. The timber waggons carting material to for Mr Cotter's new store had considerable difficulty in getting past Jackson's Creek to-day, and it was not until the load had been taken off that the waggons were able to [ get out ot the particularly bad place in which the wheels were sunk. Th<s is the worst part on the road from Masterton to Te Wharau. and has as Council considerable trouble at different times.^
