- Nkws fSbom' Oheviot.— Mr sj Haughey | wtites to a 'friend m Southbridge aS follows : — j! It may be interesting to some of my old neigh- j hours to hear something about Cheviot. Well, ! all I can say is, it ia a fine place ;| the land is} very good all round., but at present a carter j would need '^ix horses to bring a bag of; epuds a mile. You'd want to hjive a good: team to go for theloan of an embty dray to) your neighbour. Everybody ia fencing acrossi existing tracks everywhere, and- the roads are; simply awful m consequence. There was sup-| "ppsed to have been , x some, miles of finished load. Anyone could see indications of a vast? quantity of work having been- done, but I would not attempt to put a .name on it . I' will leave that to those ,t?ho are curiousf enough to visit Oheviot, or to those whose( business compels them to drive over them. In such cases they get a variety of names bestowed upon, them,' Some of the names sounded a bit new to me, and I've heard some queer expresr sions mmy time. It took me a week to get up from Waipara, I would not do the samfe pferformarice! for-a -b'puse&iXl 0| furniture, Wfe were stuck and re»stuck. Sometimes we got the dray out only, and at other times we brought part of the road with us. It was 4 puzzler to know sometimes which was comingj dray or road. Eventually, when at the Postoffice, we got 10 horses m, and made about four yards that pull, broke a- lot of- chains, -left the dray sitting with mud to the, bottom m the road, arid Went to camp next day, got th'e things out m small lots, and got clear by evening. Went home then and went to bed, and stayed m for a fortnight. No doubt the roads will . be all right when they are properly formed and metalled, but the enormouß amount of traffic on the' main 'road 'keeps it' m suchia state that it would keep all the meri hi Cheviot 1 repairing it whjlej the. weather is wet. . j Stktjck by Lightning. — T^e Inang^ihua Times etatea tha,t .,.
