TUHIKARAMEA.

This district is almost a terra incognita to the bulk of your readers, I expect, which is strange, considering that the land, like all the rest on the Wai pa liver banks, is as good as any in the Waikato, but it got a bad name at the start and I suppose has kept it ever since. Coates thrashing machine is now on its rounds heie, and I expect will give a good account of the soil, remembering always that no attempt has been made to raise iancy crops b'y high manuring and labour in excess of profit. '- The ladies of the district with their "usual kindness gave a dance on the 28th, r in return to the bachelors, for ouo they gave a short time ago. It was a most enjoyable party and was perfect in every respect, aa anything undertaken by the sex must be. They left nothing to be desired, even to engaging Mr Sibl'jy for the music. The day was showery and louring, but cleared up in the evening, 'and the moon gave sufficient light for those invited to attend, whilst daylight showed them home. I am not judge enough to say who was the belle, but the dress I admired most was a black velvet with satin bands worked in crewel woi k. However, everyone was dressed nicely and seasonably. — (Occasional Correspondent.)
