WHATAWEATA.

In my last letter I mentioned the Ngahinepouri bridge, but it was an error on my part. It should read Kaniwhaniwha bridge. I must now refer to the irregularity of the delivery of the mails. It is not the first time this has been complained about. I have heard settlers complaining of having to wait hours for their letters lately, and that if some steps were not taken they would have to write to the authorities in Auckland to have this remedied. No doubt the roads are bad, that is, the new road, but that is never travelled by the mail boy who always comes the old road to deliver his mail and gets afresh horse to go on to Raglan. The complaint of the settlers here is not so much in regard to the delivery of the Monday and Friday's mail, although they are as a rule much behind time. It is the Wednesday's mail that is without doubt always behind time, and it is presumed they are careless as to what hours they deliver their mail, not having to go to Raglan on that day. Settlers who '•have to come for miles to getthehvletters and wait about in the wet, ,can hardly be expected to smile and look contended when they have to travel home in the dark and have to return to post an answer the next morning, which might' possibly be done the same day. It is !to be hoped we shall see a coach running to Raglan next year, and that all these .difficulties will be done away with, o -"' '• » 1 *'; „ . h ' Whatawhata^- although we have had such bad weather, is looking well. The main street which, was .formed time» ago is getting in good order.
