SCHOOL.—The annual examination of the pupils attending this school was held on Thursday, 9:h inst., by Mr l'etrie, Chief Inspector. There were 21 children presented for examination, of whom two failed. The school is making satisfactory progress under Miss Macky's tuition and the Inspector's report will be found favourable. CußAMEitY.—The quantity of milk received at the creatnery has now reached 800 gallons daily, and as a lot of cows are yet to come in, it is hoped that the average will reach 6000 gallons for week (including Sunday's milk) during the season. The testing, which is done here by Mr Thorpe (the manager) is, I think, fairly satisfactory, although in most eases the quality is below the standard, 3 6. Farming.—The grain crops are looking well in this district and the country generally is looking beautiful, and there n übuudancc of grass for dairy stock. i cme of our settlers took advantage of w*b recent lino weather and have finished shearing. The high winds have done a certain amount of damage to the young fruit, especially plu-ua and peaches. \VKATUBn.--Very heavy rain fell here during Saturday alternoon, road tracks and water tables were full to overflowing and miniature lake 3 covered the ground in all directions.
