TE AWAMUTU.

Statu of tiiic Roaim—Tlie mads leading into the towndiip from Kihikilii and Katigiaohia ure in a very bad slate, particularly the furmiT, which from the corner by I >r. J 'airman's as far as Mr Lewis' Hotel, is disgraceful. Year after year the lioiiow by the brewery is almost impassable in winter, yet no effort is ever made to remedy the, malter beyond putting a few loads of gravel m the holbw, a useless expenditure unless tlie hill on eaeli side is also gravelled.

ANonm; .r.i'. W.\\n;i>.-Mr J. 11. M.indciio being iii.w 1110 only J.J', in this district, another is badly wanted, for in his absenee people requiring his siguaturo mu-t either wait his ieturii or else go on to Kibikihi. That township is well provided with J.P.'s, for there are. two living in tlie town — Messrs .1. \V. Ellis and .1. 0. Elmsley. It Would peiliaps, be more, c aieel to say one, for Mr Hllis is often absent at Olorohaiiga and elsewhere, but Mr Klmslcv is at anyralo a perm men!, resident. In To Awainutu tiiere is not one, Mr M.iudeiio living quite a mile, if not further, from the town ; there is abo this reason for . nether, that Mr Mandolin is frequently put to a good deal of inconvenience, by the frequent demands upon his lime, a. trouble which should be reduced by being shared by another.

Tn:: Makaf.uoa Block.— The Royal C iiuinUsii.il appointed to take evidence in this matter will, it is reported, sit at Ivihikihi mi tli- L'lch mst. Sli mid they decide that a rehearing is required, it is more than likely Unit it wili also be held there.
