PIONEERING NOT YET FINISHED. "I heard much shouting and cracking of vrhip'. ' I pullc'd ; up; to see what it. was all about, and soon I saw a team of bullocks coming over the brow of a: hill. They were sledging post 3 out. to, the road." Thus T/rote our travelling correspondent from a 1 hill-top in' the interesting county of Akitio. " One of the settlers who'; had purchased a section of Akitio,; Mr, | F. Burling, told mo lib could not get a mail to get: the posts out, moil being unprocurable, and lie had to work 'the' team himself.' He Was getting out over three thousand posts, and by:the time ho! had got them in the fence line, they would cost him £7 10s.'a hundred; That is oighte'enpenco a post.' A;pretty stiff.price!"
