WAIPAWA.

[OWN CORRESPONDENT, j

This day. At tho Loyal Abbotsford Lodge on Saturday night last tho application for a new lodge to be formed at Ormondville was received and approved, and a resolution passed that the Secretary be instructed to forward it to the district officers and request that a special meeting be held in Waipawa at an early date to deal with the same. In connection with Oddfollowahip I may say that there is somo talk of opening a P.G. lodge, and a juvenile lodge in connection with the Abbotsford is also in contemplation The first quarterly meotingof theOvmondville Licensing Committee is fixed for 9th December, and already several applications are in for publicans' liconßes, which rumor says ai - o likely to be granted, or a portion of them. Who they are, or on what footknow, as the applications have not HfjPfJTfR ,TI a 3 r be granted at the December although I was not there myself, others who were tell me that it was really a very good entertainment. . Mr John Brinson met with a very nasty accidontly by the bite of Mr Britten's dog, who made his teeth nearly meet in the calf of his leg. He is making progress toward recovery and walking with a stick. Tho dog was lying on the footpath as Mr Brinson was passing, and flew at him, and it has not been destroyed. We have had a magnificent rain. All Sunday night it poured, and all day yesterday it was moist and again this morning. It is long since we had such an enjoyablo time, our tanks are full, and vegetation has completely changed already. It will bo worth thousand of pounds to this district, where the pastoral lands had already begun to look brown. The annual meeting , of the County Councils take place to-morrow, but nothing regarding them has excited discussion or remark. I imagine tho chairman will be re-elected in each county. It is not such a bed of roses or so remunerative as to excite ambition in many.

The paragraph in your second edition re Waipukurau School Committeo is not correct. I have good authority for saying that an amicable meeting was held in. tho school last Friday night.
