Tho premises aro divided into two shop*, one of which is fitted up with a large hardware stock, whilst, in the other, he will continue to carry on his business as tinsmith, etc. Mr Johnston, being a well-known and respected resident, should command a largo share of the ironmongery trade of the district, and, indeed, tiaoe opening, has received every encouragement. This We.vmkh.— We are being again lisited with ono of those strong gales, in which this place outrivals wiudy Wellington. The Church of Kngland, on Sunday, Kutfered a severe shaking, and sustained considerable damage through the force of the wind ; so much so that evening service could not be held on that account.

Deiwivi'l'Hßs.—(,>uito a nnmber of young fellows have left this place lately, and, as a distinguished journalist ill' this town once put it when two men filed in one week, " there are mora to follow." In this connection it may be whispered that the Te Arolia Weekly Mai! has spun out its little day, and died in its infancy, poor thing. As itwns only a weakly tourist it won't be very much missed. Mr Paton left for Auckland on Saturday, but intends returning here in a short time. He expressed himself as highly pleased with the baths, &c., and is favourably impressed as to Te Arolia. We heartily wish ho could leave us as good an impression of Waiorongomai, and its staple industry, ns the whole progress of the district rests there. Mr McVeigh, solicitor, has also gone, not on account of want of business, but it is supposed a more promising field for his undoubted abilities has presented itself to him. Dming the shoit time Mr McVeigh lias been hero lie lias made many fi iends, who will watch with interest his promising carper.
