For two or three fine days it gave great satisfaction; then ijame the rain; and now it is mud, knee deep. A. young lady visitor from 'Wellington got out of tbe coach; to-day,, and at once proceeded to put on a pair of knee boots, wjnohshe had fortunately brought witb her, as she had been informed of the bad state'of the road, and wbb able to plough.through- the h^pejslJojj^
