Dr. Forester Waustall gave an entertainment here in the Public Hall on Tuesday evening last. There were not many present. Amongst other things the doctor recited the foem," Enoch Arden," in a masterly manner, believe the doctor purposes coming to reside here, and start a practice. The weather has been very rough this list week or more, blowing very hard and cold. The farmers are busy getting in their orops. Several of them have sown a few acres of wheat, which, it is to be hoped, will yield satisfactory results. Quantities of oats, beans, peas, barley, etc., ate being pat in, and should the season be favourable, no doubt those orops will pay for the outlay, The Maori election passed off very quietly. Little interest was taken in the matter. There were only 34 votes recorded here, and 31 Kohanga.— Correspondent.]
