KAKANUI POST-OFFICE.

(To the Editor of tho Oam abu Times.) Sib, — I have been wading through the columns of your paper this evening to find some notice — and it deserves a prominent notice — that a Post-office, not a Sub-Post-office, is established at tho Kakanui, and I was just going to come to tho conclusion that you were so immersed with Oarnaru news that you had forgotten such a place as the Kakanui ; but I did find a small paragraph stating that the petition of tho Kakanui settlors had been acceded to for tho establishment of a Sub-Post-office. As you do not consider it of sufficient importance to notify, and tho new Postmaster seems asleep (whom it will benefit most) , my firm consider it of importance to them to announco it, and therefore enclose an advertisement which you will place in your first sheet in next Tuesday's issue. Yours, &c, W. L. Lees. Dunedin, Nov. 17, 1866. [The enclosed was crowded out of Tuesday's issue. Our correspondent writes in ignorance of what has from time to timo appeared in our columns respecting the Kakanui Post-office, and wo therefore deem further allusion unnecessary. As to the somnolent condition of tho Postmaster, that is no business of ours ; but this we can say for Mr Harris, that up to Tuesday evening (20th inst.), he had received no instructions whatever regarding tho making up and despatch of mails. All he had was tho notice of his appointment, to commence from 14th instant, and dated Wellington, 25th ult.— Ed. O. T.]
