OKAIN'S BAY.
Lovers of trees will be sorry to learn (says the Akaroa "Mail") that the plantation of blue gums on the Okain'sr Bay Flat are doomed. ■ A vicarage will be erected there shortly, and it is tho intention of the Banks Peninsula church managers to erect a small sawmill there and cut down the gums, as they, would be a menace to a dwelling-house. Some of these gums are very fine specimens, and good timber will bo got out of them. The plantation is about sixty years old.
