Inspector Thomson received a telegram from Constable Smith, of Featherston, last Friday, stating that a man named Alfred Marr was found in an unconscious state on the Kahantera-road, some distance from Featherston, on Wednesday night. Marr was taken to Featherston, where he was attended to by two medical men. He is a nephew of Mrs Carter, who resides in Tina-kori-road. A few days ago our Sydney telegrams stated that a most unusual drought was being experienced in New South Vv ales. A correspondent in a late issue of the Sydney Morning Herald says No words could describe the honors of the situation through the whole of this district; nothing approaching it has ever been known before within the memory of the oldest resident. On all sides is presented a scene of utter desolation, to say nothing of black ruin ; and for three blocks of this wretched desert the Government make U 3 pay a rent of nearly £6OO, and yet every improvement on the place has been made and paid for by us. The frightful suffering and distress all round na is most depressing, travellers leaving their poor horses to their fate, to a most miserable ending, their eyes being picked out by the crows before they die, and the men themselves having all they can do to get water. Dried tanks, dead and dying sheep whereever you go, and the heat of summer rapidly approaching. If rain does not,come soon I can only say God help U 3, for I don’t know what we will all do.. The loss of stock between here and the Darliug alone must be tremendous, 'and there r ie little hope of .any increase next year, as the sheep will not be in a fit condition. The Btate of the country : requires to be seen to be believed.”
