Mud.

(To tho Editor.)

Silt,—Mud in the city, mud in tho suburbs, wo are in danger of having mud on tho grain. Cr. Upton suggests that mud pumpß are required at tho foot of College Hid. Mud in Symonds-street, and everywhere. Mr Editor, will you permit me to call the attention of your numerous readers to the clny and mud on the New North Koad from Mount Koekill Road to Morningside. Aba ratepayer of Mount Albert, I havo very frreat sympathy with those poor pedestrians that reside about Kingslund. Thero is ono man that keops a shoe shop, and at the present time you cannot get to his door ; although he laid down some boards, they were lost in the mud very quickly. This, sir, is a sample of the road referred to. The lato Board, in their wisdom and forethought, before retiring from olllce, made excellont roads beyond tho railway crossing at Morningside to Gittos's Bridgo, and provided for futuro wants by placing large heaps of broken motal along tho sides of the road, which is rapidly growing greon for want of use, while the other part of the road referred to above is starving for tho want of a new coat of motal. Whon will tho now Board which have promised so much, and from whom wo expect groat things, put their shoulder to the wheel and show us what they are made of! We do hope thoy will not grow rusty, for this part of the Now North lload ought to havo a share of tho new loan. Thero are, some, mon in Mount Albort (thoy may be few) who know the Board cannot make tho road without monoy ; tho rates aro not sufficient for this and other parts of the district,—Yours truly,

The Now South Walca Government havo Bipp l.'d a small printing plant to H.M.B. Nelaon, Admiral Tryon desiring to have a floating printing office, go that he can, while at soa, keop printed records of all matters relating to his command. At Wairarapa, tho other day, a baker was charged with selling bread under weight. Tho defonco eet up was that tho loaf sold was a cottage loaf, and therefore fancy bread. The Magistrate deoided that the loaf was not fancy broad, and imposed a nominal line of Ss, tho caso being a tost caso. Wo find that Mr Lamonto was misunderstood with reference to tho return obtained from To Aroha tailings, as published in our i Saturday's issue. Tho result of one to two 1 ounces mentioned referred only to the tailings of one mine, which had never been . through tho berdans. !
