SPRINGHILLS.

February 2.— Since I wrote last nothing has happened of special interest to the outside world. We have sold our wool too cheap, of course, but that is always the way. Sheep are down, and ryegrass hardly worth threshing at the price I last heard quoted; and though oats look well, we know how the price will sink when the mill pulls in. Grass threshing will commence next week, and harvest very soon afterwards. Other jMatters. — Being part of Awarua, we have been spared the distorted facts of electioneering agents, and have surveyed the political storm raging around us with comparative indifference. Rain or no rain was more to the point than "Scobie for Waihemo."— On dit that Hedgehope may soon be included in the Forest Hill Church Extension Charge.— The Hokonui coal mine must be flourishing if the increased number of mineis' houses can be taken as an indication. The telephone is erected to the mine, and the railway having been extended, the train runs now almost to the mine. We hear that the crossing road is to be formed at last.— The committee and settlers have greatly improved the school ground this season. In respect to manual labour the present committee can hardly be surpassed.
