FIFTY YEARS’ AGO
The following items of interest are taken from the Bay of Plenty Times of 50 years ago;— The natives are hardly satisfied with the result of their-shearing this season, ; the clip having brought a lower price than usual; those residing at Maungatapu have disposed profitably of a fine lot of wethers bred and fattened on their land there. - . , The weather continues to be most changeable and those who did not harvest early are experiencing great difficulty in saving their crops. Yesterday heavy rain again occurred, falling from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The barometer is most unstable and fell very rapidly,yesterday, reading this morning abnormally low. 29.65. Gales from N.W. to S.W. will probably follow. •* The contractors for the removal of the Maungatapu Native school to Papamoa are getting through the work satisfactorily and expect to have the building re-erected on the new site about the middle of next month.
