PAHIATUA NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

I pointed outin my last the urgent necessity of a bridge ovor the Tiraumea river, and now have 'to chronicle another very narrow osoupe from drowning, Mr H. Bonzie, contractor, essayed to cross on horsobackwhen his horse getting into deep water behaved badly and got rid of bis rider, who waa washed down into a whirlpool and was rescued by two men in a very exhausted oondition. He was quite unconsious and one finger was broken. Had it not been for tho timely aid and plucky rescue, he would have never reached land alive.

„ Quite s little flutter of excitement ~ waaoaußed here Monday morning, y when Mr Dillon was joined in wedg lock to Miss Kate Egan, The ceremony was performed by the Rev „ Father O'Aleara, of Maatertoa, at the - Catholic Church, The happy couple • left for Hotoiua to spend their honeymoon. , Traffic has again been resumed , over the Mangatainoko river, the [swing bridge being repaired, which t will prove, a great convenience to all settlers in that locality.
