PAHIATUA.

(From Our Own Correspondent). Messrs George £idd and Son, who hail from Sydney, and have lately commenced operations here as coach makers and wheelwrights, to-day showed me over their premises,which they have fitted up in a commodious manner. Two excellent samples of the quality of their work are on view at their shop now in the Bhape of village (or Whitechapel) carts. The style is elegant and effective, and tke workmanship and finish of the order. They are the first traps of this class made in the district. Their long experience in the Colony, should ensure them a good business connection..

Mr Shaw, general dealer of Mas-1 terton, and who until lately had a branch store here, has re-opened again in Mr Bond's premises.: By the way that building has had still another addition to it, and Mr Herrick now has more accommodation for his boot and shoe shop in the front.

The settlers despair of obtaining this season tliQ only thing which leaves ibem light heairted for the rest of the year—a good burn. It: is rawing steadily again now,

Yet another meeting of those (as ' the advertisement concerning it apologetically suggosts) interested in the foundation of a public library and reading room has been held, and yet one more committee which is to look into the question of a suitable site, and gauge the support to bo accorded to the movement has been formed. The intelligent natives—those who have settled hero recently—wait for the promised 'report to a future meek, ing' with breathless interest, while \ ovnic .l smile is the only emotion displayed on the same subject by those whose literary affections were trifled with before your correspondent (he is awfully sorry to say) who feels a tive interest in the movement, doesn't care what happens if only he may be left alone to possess hid soul in undisturbed meditation (or perhaps " cogitation" will do just as well) on the enthralling subject.
