TAUPIRI. March Ist.

A meeting of th« «ettlers was called some little tima sinoe for tho purpose of forming a school ooramitiee, but tell through owing to tho thinness of tho attendance. Another trial will, however, be made and we are endeavouring to get a meeting together on tho 6th iait. Our present schoolmaster, Sir Milton, is now receiring no subsidy from tbo Hoard of Education, and as wj are subscribing about £40 per annum, and can muster an average attendance at the ichool of about 20 children, no doubt we shall receiye some consideration 83 others districts do. Subscription! m aid of the building fund of the Roman Catholic Church are coming in pretty freely, and it is nnt.oip.il ed that in another month atfartheat tho building will be commcncad. The services of the Church or England hnvo been well attended lately, and I am girth to unders'and the Key William Hunter will take Mr Ashwell's place on Sunday next. At tho mqueit on thi bodies of tho children drowned from a ranoe down the nvfer, as reported in your paper at the timo, nothing further was elicited than was then ituted. — Own C'ojiBBSPONDiNT.
