HARAPIPI.

February 4. (Jp to within a day or two of thiß date wo have been getting moat extraordinary wojitlier in this part of the Waikuto. Hardly a day bnt we had thvmder, lightning, and lain, in fact, it was almost as enlivening us reading Beero's poetry, and wo began to ■Uiink tliere was another flood com i n<j ; of course a lot of hay has been damaged. Our mini that Ims been brought via Alotandia every Saturday has been put a stop to on account of their being none of the A(J there to bring it out. We shall now get wur papers on Thursday, nearly a week old. It seems a queer sort of an affair to be short of men when there is one of the Armed Constabulary stationed out here and nothing for him to do. Anyone would naturally say it was a good excuse for keeping him hero if he had the mail to carry, and relievo the monotony of his hfo by a good walk or a ride ©ace a week. — CoHRESPONDDNT. (The A C men are not sucking their thumbs. Most of the force aro employed npou public works, and the remainder busily engaged looking ont for Wimatn. The llarapipi detachment of one of all ranks might however, we dare say, if application were made to the proper quartor, be utilised as au^eated. -Ed. W.T ) 6
