EKETAHUNA.
(From Our. Own Correspondent.) The weather in the Forty-Mile Bush is very changeable. Scarcely a day passes without rain. Grass seed cutters are having a hard time of it. The grass that has been cut cannot be dried. On Tuesday at midday a few liaibtones were felt, and the weather for a few hours was bitterly cold. On Wednesday two boys met with a rather serious accident. They, with others, were playing together, and on ruuning round the corner of the school, each going opposite wajs, their heads collided, with the result that each of them received a nasty cut. Dr McLennan, who attended the boys, feels rather aggrieved that they belong to the Juvenile Lodge of Oddfellows, but the parents are more jubilant over the affair, cuts and bruises being of no account now, as they can be attended to gratis, the doctor receiving only a small yearly fee from theii lodge. This fee is so small that it would not cover the cost of the thread used in sowing up their heads. I suppose after this all parents in the district will be making their boys join the lodge.
