WHATAWHATA.
The Hamilton and Whatawhata nwamp ha-> been burning ficicely for Home time past, and on Christmas Day the hre had uppioachod m> close to the new bridge over the big di. tin that there was every danger of the bridge being burned. This accident was happily a\eited by Mr Fitzgerald, who saw the danger and iode off for a bucket and woiked for the space of three hums, extinguishing Ihe file. This was no joke under the sooiohing sun of Fiiday last, and if the thanks of the public will componsato Mr FiUgeiald for burning his boots, spoiling hid clothes, and losing his Clnistiniih dinner, I hope such thanks will not be withheld. The contractors for the drain are pushing the woik ahead, and will soon have it completed. This pleasant country mad seems to lie a, favomite drive, and a picnic at \Vhat»whata cjuito the order of tha day. SevoraJ,
gay and festive parties have been out hen this holiday time, shaking off the Hamilton dint, and seeking the " trury luml, &c " All crops are looking badly for want of rain. The long drouth is beginning to tall on the gnu-*, and st- Jc ate suffering in consequence. — (Correspondent. )
