Jane 17. The continual wet weather wo have had lately has mado business very dull, and local news scarce. The first fruits of tno late Hikurangi meeting- are by no means appreciated by the settlers on the west side of the Waipa river. 1 allude to tho stoppage of the formation of the Raglan and Waipa road by the .Kingites. It is just possible that tho order to stop proceedings did not emanate from the King himself, but from one ot the party who accompanied To Rata (Tu Tawhiio) to Raglan, and who is rather too fond of making himself disagreeable at times, without waitiug for Tawhiao's direct authoiity for his prjcecdings. Onr school committee at their meeting, decided to bring the eompulro/y clause of the Education Act, into operation. The late rains have risen the river, so as to enable the up country natives to get their produce down. Should the weather prove fine a busy timo may be looked lor by our storekeepers during the week.
