The barquentine Waitemata had a very rough passage from Wellington and was nine days on the trip and sustained a good deal of damage. She was favored with a fair wind in the river and sailed up without steam assistance to Aratapu where she discharged ballast. She is to load at the Northern Pine mill, Tatararild. The visit of Mr Berry, editor of the ‘ Herald,’ to this district is bearing fruit. In a sub-leader he urges upon the Government the importance of making a good road to connect the Ivaihu Valley with the Hokianga district. No more profitable road could be undertaken by the Government and we hope our big brother will fight the matter out now he has taken it up, Mr A. Gerring, the much-respected as - sistant teacher at the Kaueranga Boys’ School at the Thames, severed his connection with the school on Tuesday last. by taking farewell of the teachers and scholars. In Mr Gerring-’s departure for Aratapu the scholais. both boys and girls, have lost not only a teacher of considerable ability, but also a kind friend. He leaves next week for his new sphere of labour, and we can only reciprocate the feelings of all who have had the pleasure of knowing Mr Gerring in regretting his departure and wishing him every success in the future,— Te Aroha News Over two hundred dog collars have been already taken out this year and the Dog Registrar intends to collar several more curs yet.

The Aratapu Improvement Class met on Wednesday evening, the attendance being but moderate. Five short essays were read for consideration, but time only permitted criticisms on three. J. Stallworthy, vice president, occupied the chair Sir T. Webb’s essay condemnatory of “ Quack medicines,” was the first read and occupied considerable time in criticism. Mr G, E, Smith’s essay' was on '• Love ” ; Miss F, Scott wrote on ‘* Madness” ; Miss E. M. Stallworth}' on “ Model Woman ” and Master E. Scott on “ The Thermometer.” The three first named essays were very favorably criticised and occupied the time of the meeting, the other two were read without criticism. A profitable evening was spent but the younger members will find the class more improving if they will but make a point of saying something, however short, at each opportunity.
