NEWS FROM COUNTRY DISTRICTS.
[from our OWN correspondents.] matata. Mr. McKtnnom, road foreman, and party or eight men arrived at Matata on Saturday last from Hauami, on the Matata-Tauranga Road, where they have been for the last eight or ten days making good all the heavy sand patches that exist at the Heropuru, Pikowai, and Hauami bridges. He and his party left Matata yesterday morning for the Mangaoni, on the Matata-Rotorua Road, where further work is to be done 011 that part of the" road lying beyond the turn off to the Teko, which is covered with the ashes ejected from Tarawera. For several miles along that part of the road it is very heavy for wheel traffic, nevertheless it has been found that a good job can be made of the road where the scoria exists, by digging a small ditch on each side, and throwing the earth into the middle of the road. It mixes with the ash and goon sets down quite hard.
