EKETAHUNA.

(From Our Own Correspondent), The weather still remainsmisettled, ■ As-. I told yon in last weeks letter, unless fine woathor.set in serious n injury would be done to the line, The •_ long embankment near hero settled a jj bit_ on Tuesday, so much that the .[. twin could not get''into Eketahuna, ( | the passengers had to Walk the e remaining dfslanoe.', •• j A largo number of buildings are going up in Parkyille. It has just now quite a lively appearance. We in'Eketahuua were in expectation that directly the railway was open to here business would improve, and j more buildings would be erected, Up B to the present there is no sign of t either one or the other. 1 The pound keeper and ranger seem ) to be making quite a oheolc. Some t of our people don't see'the'use of a pound. One of our residents lost his horse, Wlieu he found it in thepound he used some tall talk on that latest innovation, as well as on the pound keeper, County Council,.and every 1 one connected with it.. However, he paid the fee, put the bridle on the. horse audiead him out to the road, ' still swearing. The horse got rather frightoned and' hung back. ■' The ' owner jerked the reins, with the ] result that the bridle slipped off, and ' the horse bolted down tho road with ' the owner and pound keeper in full ! chase. As one was old and the other * fat it seemed a level bet between the.' three. After a long and exciting race, ! lam glad to say'the horse won, hands down. The poundkeeper says that he willhaye another try in the \ morning.- The oper walked home ' with the bridle a sad and, angry man. At the woeirty meeting of' the \ Eketahuna Debating-Society there . was a large number Of'visitors •' attended to listen to the'debate on " Home Eule." lam sorry to say s that it. was quite a one-sided argu- ■' ment, almost everyone present were not in favor of Homo Bule for P 'lreland.
