NGARUAWAHIA.

Bad as the roads were between here and Hamilton during the fine weather, since the late heavy rains they have been rendered almost impassable, and dangerous even in the daylight. At niglit it is quite impossible to get along. At the bridges near Mr Hall's theie is a deep chasm washed out p.<st the centre of the road ; at Soldier's Bridge it is, if possible, in a worse state, and from end to end the road is one continuation of ruts and pools ot water in the ccntic. It is hard to say who has to keep it repairrd, but whoever it is they should look to it at once, or there will be some serious accident. The cenn'teiy is still 11: the same disgraceful state as a month ago, not a stick has been put up to keep cattle out. A tew shillings would remedy this defect for the piesent, while the potent. gidAC, and reveieiul Mgnois worked out the problem of whi'ih would be best, a three or a four-sod ditch and drain, or a wii c fence on saw nka hikatea posts ? It is easy to say what they aie doing in the matter — nothing. Gi eat sympathy is f< j lt here with Mi Bell in his losb, for if theie 13 one township in the Wai pa that he is respected in moie than another it is Ngaruuwahia. - (Own Couespondent.)
