TO CORRESPONDENTS.

J.T.—There is no doubt that it would be best both, tor Maaterton and Greytown that each township should be able .to deal with its own reserves. We believe however, whatever may be done in the matter, that it will require an Act of the General Assembly to legalise it. J.K.—We believe that “ Provincialism ” has done its work and reduced itself to “ Town* ism.” However clever Mr Vogel may be, he will never possess the confidence of the House as a minister. :

B. F,—We have received your lines on the Grey town Volunteers, and they will receive insertion in our next.

h.—Mr Fox it is expected will appear in the House next Session, as member for Eansitikei. •, °

Strange to state, the blight disappeared, and I have used this cure ever since, and 'found it the best of any I have ever seen or heard of.
