Roif.H boisteious weather has prevailed moie oriels dming the last thioe work". I'ut the last few days have been fine. Cumnnnder Kdwin's prediction* <>f bad vu-athei lia\e been numerous, and in most cises true. Our icgul >t ti ider tin; Hannah Mokiiu, has been bar-bound at Waitara the last foitmght.

A meeting of thochaumen of tho high way boards m thfl County of K.irf.m is to be held here ne\t Thnr*.day to elect a mem ber for the Hospit.il Hoard in Auckland. The Rev. W.
