September 27. — It has boon very wet throughout the di&tract this last two or tJire-3 weeks, but there have been no floods much, the ground being veiy dry, and suokinj the rain up almost as isoon as it falls. However, it hag slaitc-d to blow now in real earnest and the roads and footpaths *ire quickly drying up. The footpaths about here badly need metalling, and the culverts require opening, there being waterholes up to a toot deep aJI over the footpath. It> is to be hoped tha.t whoever sets IT/tumcd to the Count} Council for this end will do his besc to ge>t this state of things remedied.
