KIHIKIHI.

Land Court.—Owing to tho Land Court now sitting, Kiliikihi looks quite Ray. The storekeepers and saddlers :n\j vicing with each other in displaying their most attractive articles. Lkctuub. —The Rev. J. Thomas R&ve a magic lantern exhibition and lecture hero recently, for what reason I am at a loss to understand, it was poorly attended. Tho astronomical Wture was wry interesting. Those who did not attend missed an intellectual treat. Bociai, Mattehs.—Why is it that Kilijkihi. going ahead in every other respect is so far behind in fun and amusement '>. Surely with such a number of young people, a debating society, conversazione, riukinp, or a dancing class, something, smvthing might be set going and kept ip, my monthly. It would do the young people g.od for tho tun would brighten them m>, it would do the piuvnts good, f"r ot com.se, they love to see their boys and girls happy, and lastly it would do the pi ice good, for it would make a stir, and where a place in stirring and lively business is sure to bo muni brisk. Thk Lidkaky.—Our library too, what a pity it skeins, that we must go to Te Awaimitu for books when wehavea good library of our own. Aim thpro not enough in this goodly sixed community of young people, sullieient readers t.> interest themselves to keep their library going? Tub Chops.—The potato crop this season has turned out well, and waggon loada are passing en route to Te Awamutu for Auckland daily. The two or three threshing machines, owned by farmers of the district, have been kept very busy. Even the natives have had a large quantity ot oats and wheat threshed by the pakeha for them. It seems that a stoam engine is rather bayond them. They have mowers, reapers and binders and other kinds of agricultural labour-saving machines, but a steam thresher is more than they cara to tackle. Probably they are afraid of a blow up. Native Chiki's.—Two old native celebrities are hern in our midst. Rewi, or Munga, who has been confined to his house for some months, is breaking up very fast, being very infirm and feeble. The other is none other than Tn Kooti, who is very often to be seen driving in with his one attendant, to make some purchase at ono fir other of the stores. Asthma seems to be (irmly rooted in him. which gives him n frail appearance.
