In 'another column we reprint the proceedings at a meeting 1 of Mib niemheis of the Centra! Waikato Agiieultaral Isaoeiation. The members of that society, provided there are no extenuating facts to be brought forward, are justified in feeling indignant at the ravalier manner iv which they have been treated by the officers of the society existing at th* other end of thedistnot. Common courtesy should have induced au answer to the letter written by the tecrctary of ihe youngor association ; we remember the letter, it was courteous and conciliatory. It evideucen a desire to put aside local pqugbb es md jealousies, and act in a reasonable manner, — when we say a leasonablo manner we moan tbe adoption of a course thafc would tond to the benefit of ihe whole district. We attended dinner after liotb shows la.Bt year, and not a settler or visitor Biw>kß who did not regret that the division of our exhibits iato sections had rendered both meetings comparative failures. Never do we remamber sentiment and action being Ao di'&uiutrodl'y .ippo-*d a* is erido'ioerl by the conrne pursued by the officers of the senior 4sBocia.tion. were led to hope thafc the action of the iodbiy, from which the proposal to hold p show at Ohanpo emanated, would have reculteri |n 0111 iiaviug au exhibition of Waika'o pxaductious thai w'.ijlH hftf^ hrou^lit, credit to the district.

It will be seen bj a letter in another column tfeat Tawhiao hhj invited the whole oi the Waikatosto a meeting to be held ntle Euiti in March. The fact of asking eral natives an J Europeans to the meeting is an omon of good. If peace was not the policy of thn "kiira;" party it 13 highly improbable that »ueu a general invitation would have been issued.
