EKETAHUNA.
(From Our Own Correspondent). The weather this week has been of tho variety kind. A heavy.nortbwest gale commenced on Thursday midday, and continued up to midnight of Friday. On the latter day as tho sun went down rain fell in heavy showers. Mr Von Reden had a costly experience of Ihe force of the wind on Friday. He came into town with bit. wife to attend the ball that was to bo held at the Town 'lull; and they had both got out of the trap when a heavy gust of wind lifted it and frightened the horse, and it bolted across the paddock and over the stumps. 'lhe trap and harncti were completely wrecked. Mr Selby, in endeavoring to stop the runaway, reoeived a kick on the knee, severe enough to spoil his dancing for the night. .•, Mr Kelldlif r has madea commencement with his contract, tho road to the new bridge. Judging by the number of men employed he means business.
Messrs Reardon and Mcßinlyhave declined to take up their teniler for the formation of road through Kketalmna. They had made a mistake of about 2000 yards in their estimate of the work to be done. - Seeing that several of the tenders were very little above theirs, others must have made tliesauie mistake,
A meeting of the Eketahuna Cricket Club will he held ou Wednesday next to Equate up accounts in connection with the brill, all the members being requested to attend. Mr WilJiapißaylJßßconducted ser: vice iii the Wcsjeyan Church ou Sunday. Mr Edge," ol Alfrodton, was to have held seivice but did not attend, A meeting of trustees of the Church will he hold on Wednesday 30th inst.' . . There is a serio comic whisper of a syndicate being formed here to start a paper. I hear that the plant can bo got ior next to nothing for a trial* as it is now lying .idle somewhere this side of San Francisco. 1, cannot tell yon for certain what the 'name of the venture will be, some Bay it is to he oalletj the Bush Lance,-if that is to be the name all those that do not subscribe will get a prod. Snm» tpll me it ie to be called the Botcher's
