KELVIN GROVE.

Saturday* Ono or two vory sharp frosts have been experienced m tlio district, but taking it all round, the weather is vory mild, except for last Sunday, which was most boisterous. Boring; operations uro still in progress at Mr Wilslier's. Water was found within two feet of where Rev. Mason predicted, but as. the How was not considered big enough it was decided to boro fui'thor, Farmers in the district aro making strong complaints about the shooting' parties that invade their paddocks. When a man mistalws a sheep for a hare it is timo ho handed his gun over to someono else.
