(FEOlt OtJft OWN COREESPONDENT.) ' February 13. Comiks FliHCTiON.— There Ir in this dis'ru t a trong feeling again it the retiri g members of the Education Boa d, and it is more than probable th >t Mtssrs Elder and tieg: will not receive a vote from the nis- , trict. A meetirg of delegates from the various Bchool committees will b« licla in Tapanni on a'aturda\ for tne puipcea of taking unit'd action to secure the return of new n.cn, aid Dr viacgreaor and Mr Johnston will be well supported— indeed, it is generally believtd here that the fonrer gentleman, instead of taking fourth pia> c, wiilbe at the bead cf the poll. A Wast.- 1 would call the attention ot the Progress Committee to the encroachment of the river on the Main road between Logai.'s station aud Kcl-io. For 6om*> time past the Cluiba County Council have been patching" away at tho bank, spending time and money to no purppse, and still tha road is slowly disat pearing. I think the county ensineer should not be above taking a leßSon from Mb brother of Tuapeka, and fortify this tho '■ame as the opposite bank. PfCoorkss.— The number of buildings in our town is Hteauily increasing, the last erected being a cottaue for Mr Mayo, iv place of the one destroyed by fl c last year • Mr Shaw has enlarged his premises of late and added a wheelwright to bis staff of employes.
