TO THK KDirOK. Slit, — Your advocacy of the pioposed new tuno-table has not been conducted in that spirit that should animate a paper purporting to repiesont the dibtiict aw a whole. There has been a deal too much of the " discontented minority" style about it. While the alteration may suit the " we" of Hamilton, fi oni that point up the verdict is almost unanimously agoin&fc it. _ The one argument m it» favour, that it will enable some few business men to make an occasional tiip to town in a couple of days, is a very weak one to use to a population composed chiefly of farmeiy, &c, whom you would depiive iv a gieat many inI stance of the chance of receiving their mail the same day it leaver town, and compel them to plunge through our muddy roads half the year in darkness for the problematical benefit of these few. What is wanted is a spco'id passenger train and quicker tiu.e, and until the increased traffic caused by the additional mileage, and the advancement of the district warrants the manager in giving us these increased facilities, I, with many others, belive that the saving of a day now and again for a few would not counterbalance the incomenience and discomfort caused the distuet as a whole. — I am, &c, J. W. Ellis. Kihikihi, 22nd August.
