It is trnp that fine veaerve m question, lot A 4, 26 aoree, is the only ltudiatJ resereve <n hi rivep between Hamilton and N^aru twaaia, bat after five acres hid been granted fur the school, there woull ba ample for t.he purpbae for which it was original iy intended, and all the settlers ask is a corner of tne frontage to the main roa'i, which wousd leave a road frontage to resave of some <ix chains, and the waola of the river frontage. There are now over a doz^n families anxiously waiting ihu opening of a school m this dis net, and though I t»r one am glad to say tha=; more than once the diversion of this reserve to avis private urereots'haa been r«BJated, I n«vertheifS3 think, that for s » useful & purpose the grintig of lie Id m .re than a dtbhot it maght hwe beeu conceded to ihe pubhe. — Yours", & , A Puket* Settlbb, Pukete
