HUNTLEY.
We have now the beg lining of a very fair library, started under the care of Mr Pearse, our popular schoolmaster. There are so far 94 volumes — Scott, Lytton and Dickens leading the way. The Taupiri Coal Company have gone 40 ft. in their neAV dip, and are getting a bright cannel coal, which looks as good as anything could be of the sort, but the getting is expensive, there being so much water. It is understood that the engine drivers say that the new coal from the west side is cleaner, but does not make steam quite so quickly as the Taupiri Company's. I dare say you have been wondering what the skeleton was that the Star thought so much about. It turns out that a native, who was ditching on Mr Muirs land, turned up a skull and two rib bones, but the Huntley folks don't call that a skeleton, they seem to think there is something wanting to make it a complete success as a " local.
