WAIWERA.
November 28.— The weather during the past few weeks has been by no means so favourable as could be wished. We have scarcely had two consecutive fine days, while cold rain and hail have been of frequent occurrence, with accompanying cold nights. The spring-sown crops are consequently in a very backward state; indeed the late ones look miserable, and should a spell of line weather not set in I am afraid some of them will prove a failure. The winter-sown crops are, on tbe contrary, looking well, and grass for sned promises very heaw yields. Fruit is promising as a general thing. "Cattle and sheep are all looking well. Telephone.— An agitation is afoot having for its object the opening of a telephone office in connection with our post oflice. The want is a long-felt one, and I trust the authorities will see their way to granting the requisition which will shortly be presented to them. Acciuknt.— On Saturday last, Mr L. Nichol, of Kailiiku, sustained a serious accident while returning home from Clinton, at which place he had been taking part in a cricket match. His collarbone was broken, and he received other injuries, the nature of which has not as yet been ascertained.
