THE RAILWAY.

Sir, — To be or not to h'j '? — the railway at Alexandra or Te Awamutu — is a question which seems to sorely perplex Mr J. H. JVlaudeny. He seems to feel Hick somewhere. I hope that when he got delivered of that very very long- letter which appeared hi your issue of the sml iixit! that it somewhat relieved him. It won't do J. H., you won't got it. Thoro are immense reasons— state reasons —why it .should c.nnc here, which cannot be divulged just at present, you know. pro bono jjublic-j. It is unquestionably true that his and other neighboring fann.s will bo depreciated m value by the railway coming to Alexandra. It is therefore pardonable to find m the -writers letter a little envy lfttti-ed, and some unuhaijtabhvnes:?. }f*c, of Alexandra, we arc.' tj, iar«d hearto:!, generous pcop^, ready' tq etc, unto others what wo should' id like they would do unto us. "We am, therefore, ready and willing, as soon as the train rims to Alexandra, to help and assist our le Awamututoniau friends Avith our advice— given freely, and without stint or measure.— how to lay a tramway from the station to any part or parts of To Awainutu, or whorosoovor preponderates the largest jnfluencu. „£«*••■ speaking lilu gm , H l seriiiv iIq oS , Mr Mandcno iinagine for one"mOmeiit |hat phe small village of Te Awamiyt'u lias ?ui equal claim to having the railway as Alexandra, an old 0.-«taUishcd plaet., tho ocutre of a large and growing agiicultural ilwtrjut, ami which bids fair to become the leading township m Waikato. Mr J, 11., of a mole hole you cannot mike a mountain. Be quiet, say your prayers, and all men will tluuk well of you.
