THE KATIKATI HOAD : A DELICATE HINT. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— Tho settlers on tho Katikati block tialu* rally experience some incovenionce from the bridges across the various rivers being as yet unbuilt, but of course they know" it will be all rvghtin time. Still there appears no excuse why those throe email swamps on tho main road between the Uritara and tho Te Ririatukahia should bo still unfilled. Surely some public spirited settlor might, by tying together a few bundles of ti-tree and throwing them across, ensure a dry footing for all pedestrians, and thus incur the everlasting gratitude of many besides—Yours* &c., A Constant Victim** Katikati, November 30,1875. [Wo recommend “ A Constant Victim” to carry out his own suggestion.—Ed ] aTexfl&aiion, TO THE IDITOH; Sib, —Your “own” of Ohinerautu is rather fond of dragging my name before tho public. In his letter in your last bespeaks of a “little knowledge” matter that doe# not in any way concern him or tho general public, and in a way that would lead others to think that I had broken the law or done violence to the proprietors* Tho fact ip, I was doubly armed, with the Act of Parliament in one hand, and ibe advice of a legal gentian an in the other* which latter had already stood me in good steid in time of need ; in short, I merely distrained, for rent overdue, in person. Were it a matter of public interest I could say more on the subject, If I inconvenienced any gentleman I am sorry; that how the.mere closing of the hotel for-a few hours could have done so lamat a loss to discover. Tho parties who lake credit to themselves for bouncing me to give up the keys think themselves, so doubt,, clever. I can inform them that assisting to (I don’t the libel Jaw, Mr Editor)—but to keep a man from getting what is his just due who has a large family depending on him is nothing to boast of,-' 1 am, &c„ Isaac Wilson.
