NOTES FROM THE BUSH.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Graziers will hail with satisfaction the proposal to start tinning works, near Hawera, and as I write the busb districts are being actively canvassed for subscriptions towards the proposed bonus. It is rumored that a suitable site can be fonnd somewhere along the line between Nor* manby and Te Roti. It is to be . hoped sufficient support will be given to oak* the works a reality. Messrs Bncktbought Brothers (2), whom it will be remembered left here about a year ago for Kimberley, have returned. They had just reached' Sydney when the bad news came. Since then they bar* been in Victoria, and lately visited th* new rash in Gippsland, which proved^ a failure. Mr. W. Clemants, who r went with them, remains in Australia. -; "

The dandy fever has been rather pre> valent in the busb lately. A dry cough followed by a sore throat are some of the symptoms, and about a week's unfitnesi for work tbe consequence. In the house of Mr. J. Brisco, of Te Roti, tbere were at one time no less than six members of the lamily ill at once from this complaint. No doubt when a change of weather oomei it will disappear.' ,
