OHAUPO.
Death.—l regret to have to record the death of Mrs William Coggens, which sad event took place on Sunday last, after a very short illness, at Kinkiri, near Otorohanga. The remains were brought down by train on Tuesday, the cortege leaving the residence of Mr Coggens, seur., at 2 o'clock, for the Ohaupo cemetery, the Her. J. Marshall officiating at the grave. The deceased was a young woman, and she leaves her husband and live children (the youngest a few days old) to mourn their loss. We sincerely sympathise with the husband and motherless babes in their sad bereavement.
Crops —As showing the abnormal growth this season, I saw a sheaf of Timothy grass, four feet nine inches long, with heads over eight iuches in length ; and also a root of red clover, over three feet in length, showing fully 200 stalks from the one root. The specimens were on view in Mr Souter's store, and were grown from Sutton's seeds, on Mr Alex. Jones' farm, at Pukerimu. Oats, this season,are a heavy crop ; but a great majority of it is lodged, owing to k« much wet. The best varieties for standing up appear to be the Dun and Sparrow Bill. Wheat, so far, I hear, is not likely to be a heavy crop this year, for though the straw is long, the heads are light.—(Own Correspondent),
