LOWER TAUERU.

A most enjoyable dance was given by the Taueru ladies in the Taueru Hall on Friday night. . The Hall was taßtefally decorated with greener; I and wattle, as the harbinger of spring, and the floor was in excellent order. A Blight hitch occurred, and the expectations of the guests, many of whom came from Masterton, were seemingly to be disappointed, when the piano broke down, but oar Taueru men were equal to the occasion. Mr Finn Hall, roused from sweet slumber, was haled to the Hall —when dressed—and kept excellent time with his accordeon till another piano arrived. An important item, which must not be omit.ed, was the excellent supper, to which all gave their undivided attention. Altogether, the guests were unanimous in their verdict that the Taueru dances are to be looked forward to with high hopes of pleasant evenings. Messrs "Tas" Smith and Eli Loader were very efficient Mb'C, and Mr McKeczie presided at the piano, while the thanks of the dancers are due to the Taueru ladies for an extremely pleasant and highly success ful evening.

We have lately been the abode of a couple of unpleasant, though, perhaps,Jseaaonable visitors—bad weather and an epidemic of influenza. The lambs were the chief sufferers by the former, many having died, while the latter has paid surprise visitß to many of the chidren, even necessitating the school being closed a week earlier than usual. With the better weather prevailing, this condition of things should soon be I remedied.

There are many signs that spring is coming, but none plainer than the last escapade of Mr George Lett's horse. In his exuberance of spirits, and perhaps endeavouring to emulate his confreres at the Steeplechase on Thursday, he attempted yesterday to jump over a fence, forgetful of the fact that he was encumbered with a trap. It is rumoured that he jumped the fence, but the trap didn't. FireI wood is now at Taueru.

The Brsncepeth employees have announced that they will be holding a dance early in the month.
