MAUNGATUA.
May I.— The weather during tlie past few weeka has continued very unsettled, and we have experienced a considerabl§ amount of rain and s:orm. As a consequence, agricultural operations have been in a backward state, particularly threshing, which is considerably further behind than usual this season, and will not likely be done for a week or Ifwo yet. There has been a very fair yield of grain, but farmers are not likely, as a rule, to be much the gainers, on account of the low prices ruling at present. One farmer in the neighbourhood is leaving his wheat unthreshed until spring. School Comnyitte?. — A.t the annual meeting for the election of members for the school^ committee the following were duly elected for the ensuing year: — Messrs James Miller, John Miller, William Thomson, James Carruthers, J. Anderson, E. Heenan, and D. Ross.
