It is fortunate that the firing was early, ae if ..we had waited:till next month . ; the timber wouE have been soaked, the * hot dry. weather having been succeeded by very lieivy raina since the 4th February, and ,much : cooler weather, which l ' has had the effect of making the grass 1 put on the appearance of Spring, and bns also prepared the new ground for the v grass seed, the sowing of which is now, in f full swing, there being just upon 1000 i. acres to do in this district, at which rate i of clearing in all probability by the time the line is completed this length, there j -will bo not only butter and eggs, bntifat t cattle, sheep, and various other things too numerous to mention.

We are glad also to see that a third route is suggested—that, to eastward e Of the Puketoi—which of course would t benefit no one in particular; not even the individual who proposed it, and as everyone who knows the East Coast line knows ,j.. that it presents no very great engineering , difficulties. We recommend the partisans of the Wangaehu and East Coast routes to thoroughly ventilate the subject, and leave the ; Government to carry out the h Woodville-Masterton extension through k ihe Forty-Mile Bush as' proposed, and on » the faith of which the lands in this district were Bold.
