Our Opunake correspondent writes: "The weather has been very boisterous for the last day; or, two. , The strong southerly wind caused a very heavy sea to rise, and the spectacle from the cliffs was magnificent. .Several local residents secured photograpHs." . Given a ploughed-up road with .the wind of yesterday it is not difficult to imagine the state of the atmosphere. That it was indeed bad was proved by the fact that "bullockies" on the Normanby road declined to work their teams. A syndicate of wealthy . Wellington merchants is. reported to have acquired milling rights over a large area of splendid totara bush' bd fh'e'-' Main Trunk line, ■< and in connection ' {Herewith has commenced to build f a railway ' line from;/ Kakahi, a station on" the , Main.

The introduction of laborsaving machinery justified the workers in asking for a reduction in tbe hours of labor. At the present^ime, he said, his society, the Typographical Union, were asking . for a. reduction of hours to 44 a week, and also for an increase of wages. They might appear to be making an unreasonable < request, but he considered that the conditions existing in the printing ttrade, as tbe result of the introduction 'tit linotypes, warranted it.
