NGAPAENGA.
Own Correspondent. The weather here is just the old thing: rain. rain, with thunder and lightning. The roads are in a very bad state; there are slips galore. Mr Were, our councillor, is getting two dangerous parts of the road put right: a culvert that has been washed away opposite Mr Goldfinch's, and the bad hole on the Arapae at the end of the formation.
One farmer is thinking of running a poultry farm. He already has a few docks; these, he says, will cope with the inclement weather much better than sheep, and if he does not get quite so much wool he will get more eggs. Feed is growing here, the frosts arc keeping away, and if the songs of the birds have anything to do with an early spring, it must be close upon us.
