Hastings.
[own correspondent. I
Tho balance-sheet of tin) Permanent Bailding Society, which will be produced on Friday night, will be looked forward to with inu;'h interest, it being a sort oi guage of the township during the last eventful yoar. Tho constituency of tbo Htretauuga Road Board appear to have full confidence in their retiring members, Messrs McHardy and Beecroft, they having been returned without opposition. In spite of the large influx of Maoris, and the crowded state of tho town, everything has been very orderly, plenty of waipiro, but no rowdyism. Una firct offender, a Maori, was bef Jre the Baucli thia morning, the only case of the kind for several days. At Waipatu thero i* no first offender clemency, £1 and £1 beiutf tbo regular fines for drunkenness by the Dative committee. Last week the half-holiday appeared to be firmly re-established, t. very shop being shut. Yesterday it was again a tbiiig of shreds and patches. Possibly tho colony throughout cnild not show such a record as at the election of the School Committee. After a keenly contested election, tho old members were returned out of fifteen candidates.
