WAIKOIKOI.
April 10. — With the exception of two severe gales in the earlier part of March the month was an ideal harvest one, and consequently good progress was made, all, or nearly all, the crop being stacked. Threshing has been in full swing for over a fortnight, and millowners report good yields and bright samples generally. Bain has fallen during the past few days, and although this has retarded threshing and what remains of harvest work to be done, it has had a most beneficial effect upon turnips and grass, and especially on young grass amongst stubble, upon which the exposure to sun and wind was telling. Presentation. — Mr Pryor, divinity student, from Dunedin, who for five months has conducted religious services at Merino Downs, was the recipient of a very handsome dressing table, Bible, and Church Praise from the residents of that district on the eve of his departure for Dunedin to resume his studies. Measles. — This epidemic is prevalent among the young people in the northern end of our district, "but so far I have not heard of any dangerous cases.
