[from our own corresfonjßSSuh The weather for the past weeksHHSSj mostly fine, and this indeed is veßffiilill able, for such a continual speUfflßSa weather as .we havo experiencedWHH something uncommon. TheroaJnfflm a frightful state, and traffic of araKHra is attended with great diffcuitHßnSS Dr Smith visited Tlnui last Th&BB On this occasion he was sent for t°HHHH on Miss Boyd, who was sufterinJKJKß an aggravated attack of low WmmS this was a most critical case, DrSjßfißß mained two days in attendance, bumH^| most of the time, and after suffei«nra| tense pain, she died this afternoonjraHß having a-doctor in the'/}istrict is «HH Hotel, Castlepoint, came off on ffl§sj! evening last, and although only gram twenty-five sat down to dinner, mSBi quite a success. There would havifflfflU double that number, was it not fcHmgf bad state of tho roads. The dinnelfflaf superb, and the desert was suppliedfHß every delicacy in season. The the Host and Hostess was drunk in lalSl times three, and after spending a Wj&m enjoyable winter's evening, the PHpfl broke up at a most respectable hour.

Most of then! appeared in good condition. I should! imagine that this traffic will not improve! the loads. • m
The Highway Board meeting on Satur-I day, did not come oft'as usual. There did! not appear to be any Wardens in atten J dance. Perhaps this is owing to. tliH shocking state of the roads, or it is tluM their zeal is waning, w I see Mr J. Pickett has finished his con- | tract in laying the Telegraph materai I along the East Coast lines. Taking inio consideration ths amount of bad weather experienced, he .has done well. The Tele-. graphic lino oveil Vallance's and Morrison's ranges is noV dismantled, and a line runs along tie new road, and it is, noticeable that thl extension of an extra wire is being pusled on with, notwithstanding the bad wluther and roads.
