BALLANCE NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent). Sinco writing my last budget to you, wo have experienced somo truly misorable weather. Wet and stormy and the roads are in parts knee deep in mud, making traffic of any kind almost impossible. The rivers have, of course, been unfordable a great part ol tho time, and it is really lime that some active step? wers taken by tho local bodies to get tho Mangahao bridged, considering the growth of this district and the increasing value of its products. ,; Another.very serious drawback is tlio-want. of. a cemetery. Only last week a ; death, v occiirretl in here, the infant daughter of J. O'Neill, and the remains had,to-lie .taken.to. Mangatainoka to bo huried,iiiid as tho river was in flood, great trouble, was experienced,- hot to : 'say;. ; da'nger,.;and -the distancoto tbo comoteiy fromßallancc by way of Puhiatua being about- ten miles withJwo rivers to ford.'in'the face of.ruin" a'nd;wiiid in-- midwinter, makes a funeral doubly unpleasant foi- all .concerned.:...
