PAHIATUA.

(From a Correspondent),

I have but little news to send you this week. Tlio weather is still wintry, and the district roads are in a bad state: mud is the order of the day, and in consequence it is inconvenient for tho back settlers to move about much.

The Road Board have purchased sufficient wire cable to erect two cradle bridges across the Tiraumea, to enablo settlers in" the Woodville-Tirau-mea Special Settlement to get to their selections, when the river is impassable for horse traffic, which often happens at this time of the year. The Clerk of the Eoad Board , has been instructed to proceed to' Mastorton this week for the purpose of arranging to copy from the North Wairarapa County 8011, the valuation for the new County, po that Ridings cau be determined upon. It i 3 unfortunate that the Masterton-Mangahao Special Settlement members have neglected to have their names placed on the roll, because the representation will be based upon the valuation, and their lauds with other Associations: will be classed as Crown Lands, and jri consequence Jhey lyill bo shortly represented. I understand that Mr Oreiye has let the building of his new hotel here, to be named the " Club," to a Mr Godfrey a(i something oyer 5800, contrabt price,

I also hear that Mr W. Stuart has

let the ereotion of Lis Hall, ivliioli, by the Way, will be large one, to Mr T. James, jun. ;. I am told; that the' contract price is iB6O. The Torn Board have called for tenders for forming and kerbing about three-quarters of a mile of footpaths.
