The weather continues wonderfully dry; farmers beginning to want rain. We have had no winter this season, and people are generally planting more crops all round than usual this year.

The polling was as follows :—Corns, 162,; Reed, 146; Reyburn, 140; Scott, 170; Williams, 161; Wilson, 117; Sissons, 84; the first five boing olected. ' The public bodies are making preparations to proceed with thoir public works early this season, to take advantage of the good weather. . The Resident Magistrate, James S.Clendon, Esq., is making his visit to tho settlement this woek, there being a considerable number of cases for hearing. They are chiefly civil eases, though ; crime there is none heard of.
The auditor, Mr Burricu, is also making his annual visit to look up tho accounts of tho public officers. '
