THE PUKETE RAILWAY STATION.

Sib,— For thelaßt three months, a certain ndividual has been taxing his energy to the utmost, in' a hole and corner way, to induce the authorities to shift the Pukete station one| mile nearer to him, the Pukete station being about two miles distant f rbm the said individual. He considers it don't afford facilities 'sufficient to get his immense stock of farm produce to market, and that his extensive farm operations fully justify him m seeking to have it removed .from its present position m view °f_the prospective tonnage by-and-bye. Resides, there are only a few miserable little cockles who are bt any way interested,in. its present site $ find they — poor devils ! — can't stand ag. last the overwhelming arguments, spictd with a little bounce, he can bring forward. Though the line runs through the cookies' land — and they gave the "land free of cost, and one cockie has a bridge over the creek, which he allows his neighbor cookies to use (and one of his neighbor cookies took; forty tons over the bridge, to and from the station, besides what the other little cookies have done) — still that is nothing that is nothing to what this one individual will do when he has his land cleared byand'bye, and the station put exactly where he wants it. . Now, if our agitating.friendfancies the authorities are so easily gammoned into shifting the station from where there has been so much traffic since the opening of the line, the best thing he can do is to try and gammon them into giving him a tramway to his extensive establishment, when we will no doubt hear of his big cabbages causing a sensation m the -Auckland market. — I am, &c., ** NUNftUAM DOBMIO."
