AWATUNA.
(Our Own Correspondent.) The fine weatber we have been enjoying up to this week has broken, being, to use an old saw, " too fine to last." Bush fires capered and careered round tbe district with their usual unpleasant accompaniment of smoke until the wet weather set in. Most of the settlers appear to have had good burns, as indeed they should have had after the nice spell of fine weather we had. The Auroa Eoad is just now in a most unpleasant state for traffic, and settlers must find it very awkard carting their milk to the factory over the recently laid boulders. At the top end of the road the mud is nearly up to the horse's girths in parts. Potatoes appear to be a failure throughout the district this year owing, I believe, to blight. Other garden produce is looking well.
