LUCAS CREEK.
The last week's fine weather has had the effect of drying up the roads. They now present a bard appearance, exoapt in the low places, and look as if spring had opened. Our settlers are taking advantage of the beautiful weather to prepare their land for spring crops. Mr. Ferguson has had a considerable amount of ploughing done. He is about to plant an orchard of 200 fruit trees. With a little judicious expenditure this gentleman's place will ba one of the prettiest at the creek before long. Mrs. Phillips' two-year-old orchard looks remarkably well, the trees having grown splondidly last season. After a, short time thifi orchard should turn off a very large quantity of fruit. The a.B. Gleaner still continues to be well patronised, as she runs every Friday to ttnd from Auckland. The return fare being only Is 6d, should be an inducement to intending settlers to come and have a look at this district before settling' elswhere.—(Own Cor-« respondent, August 21.]
