MARLBOROUGH.
The residents of the Wairau want a bridge erected at the Wairau river ferry, instead of the composite bridge on the railway. The Superintendent of that Province has been interviewed by a deputation on the matter, but his Honor could not see where the £3,000 or £4,000 required to build the needed bridge •was to come from, on the other hand, the railway bridge was being erected at the cost ot the Colony. Five hundred adults attended the Oddfellows' and Foresters' fete at Blenheim, on November 9th.
Accommodation for visitors is so scarce at present in Picton that (according to the Press, of "Wednesday last) arespectable female, with an infant in arm?, who arrived there from Nelson the other day, could not obtain accommodation, and would have had to paBS the night •without shelter, had not a resident kindly taken her under his roof.
