THE PUKESRIMU BRIDGE.

Sin, — "Will you have me or not, for your own correspondent. Thatisthequestion. The people hero say there is a gentleman that has Brown on the brain, but. I think that your correspondent from Cambridge has water on the brain as he is always writing about rain. Now, Sir, if you employ mo I will send you woid about the Cam bridge Township Board, I mean three of thuiu. They had a meeting on Monday last, a petition was ssnt in to them signed by foity Ratepayers requesting them to make the Cutting at the end of Duke-street, to continue that street to the bridge, one of the Board said, no, " X " would .sell mote beer than " H>" and old " C," would sell the Maoris a tin of sardines uioie than "T & S," if this wore done. Now, Mr Editor, you sco what three men can do in opposition to forty. The last time that I wrote to you was about the Cambridge Bridge bping built at Pukerimu, can you and I, and another Boy be an opposition party, and tjet the bridge put up yet, you know I fc.iid I would call the township iift'-r yourself. What do you think, but as soou as, Sir. Somebody or another, I do not know his name, arrived in the country, 'one or both of the Governments, Rent up here, two fellows, they call Engineers, and what do you think they did when they got here? One of them stripped o"ff Mis clothes and jumpt into the liver, and was swimming about looking for something. Where the old bridge was ho had something on his "head it was white, the M.iories said it was a potae. Fotae_or not it has made the Cambridge people glad to hai' the Engineer in the river. Do not eiy that 1 am selfish, because the bridge is to be built at once at CambrTdge. Do what you cm a for us at Pukerimu, and get a bridge built there, I will send you all the news ta you. See how Uncle John complained about the report at the Farmers Club, there will be no complaints about me, if you only call me your own Correi>poudenc. — I am, &c, Black TwiFF.
