It appears .that tho recent gang of unemployed escorted to Makuri by the local agent of the Bureau, on arriving at the township, broke into Mr Olimie's whare and made free with the whole of tbo provisions and other contents. They then selected bunks for themselves and spent the night in the place. In the morning, says the local paper, thinking some recompense due to the people whose property they had made froo with, they annexed all the pannikins and took their departure, leavini? the broken lock unmended and the place open to overy passer-byi In the absence of the owner oi the property it is impossible to say whether informations will be sworn against the offenders or not; but the matter cannot be allowed to drop where it is. A shocking result of the evils of overstocking is now, says the Pahiatua Star, to be seen on a section on the Tiraumea North road, where dead sheop in hundreds aro scattered about. Apparently the unfoitunate animals have been slowly and surely starved to death, the land being. eaton as bare as if it had been scorohed by fire, and evorithe bark of the young rrowth devoured. The surviving sheep have, we understand, been removed, but had they been allowed to remain but a few days longer the loss of the whole fluok would certainly have resulted. '

All Alfredton correspondent of the Pahiatua paper says:—Perhaps s few details as to the latest blundor in reference to sending men to work at roods in this district in the winter months may be of interest, A few days ago a sang of men were sent to this district to commence work on a road, They werß " dumped " down about five miles from the proposed scene of operations and left. It is quite impossible to get food into the place where the gang are at work,and no carriers will undertake even to supply them whero they are at present, Tho neighbouring farmers will not let them have any meat, as they have no security to offor for payment. Now, such bungling as this surely wants remedying. Wbat particular officer is to blame deponent sayeth not; but if the hesds of departments do not know more of the district into which these unfortunates have been pitchforked, I would suggest that tbey secure the services of men with that knowledge of which the present heads seems so deficient.
