TAUERU NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

Thursday. A little mild excitement was caused licre lust uiglit owing to tlio burning of one of the houses connected with Mr Smith's saw mill. Luckily the house was empty at the time, the people having lately moved out of (ho district, lieeciitly this house has been used by swaggers passing to-and-fro. Being old and dry the building burnt fiercely, and the night being calm and line lit up the whole valley. Talking of the night reminds me that we aro now having the most lovely weather, and have been since Saturday. May it long continue so.

The Post Office is now fmallv removed and Mr liccs is duly installed as the new Postmaster. Quite a snug little ofllcehas been built alongside his shop and seems to be in every way convenient.

The Mo Club is busy refitting targets, and expect to get into full swing on Saturday. A inedal for competition is being manufactured to the order of Mr C. A. l'ownall at Mr Henderson's, aiid there will be a club competition for that and other prizes shortly. Miss Brown, I hear, has ordered another trophy for competitors (his season. The orchestra intend giving a concert next Wednesday, and given good weather should have a good house. They have been rather unfortunate in that way withthcir concerts,butwehopc this one will be au exception. There was some talk of another ou November 9th, but it will probably be postponed as a good many performers and others' will be anxious to get to Mastcrton to see" The Sorcerer."

Anglicans here arc anxious to know whether the Hcv. Mr Yorkc will reach this far. There lias not, I believe, been a Church of England service here since Mr Paige went away, and were it not that tlio Wesleyans attended to us, church would be a thing of forgotten memory. In that respect churchgoers hero owed a good deal to the late Mr Baumbcr, who frequently altcudcd, even sometimes walking here aud back so as not to miss.
