Thus, ii is tliat quite, a pleasant'- little sensation is gradually being awakened, a kind of setoffto the new rush towarda the north of Australia.; i U ’’V /v'’’-j-.T /{■'■, With 1 a 1 possible general election,ihterest is being generally shewn in the matter [of the election for Egmont. ,I;have.:t<x {add, one moreto ; the list t p£ probable candidates.

From whati Lean gather ibis quite’ possible that, even in the reduced rating district, the prospect of carrying a favorable vote. not at all sure., There ,ar% plenty ?,of people on the NbW Plymouth side who fail to see that they are justified ih incurring further liabilities. When we consider that.the townsfolk are already fated 3s 6d in the pound, with the Is liability Of the £200,000 loan, one can sympathise with those who. have retired 1 on' mbderiito incomes. Still in tnis, thp'age of progress, we must not stand still, although, truth to say, Patea,has been;standing with a slipping movement backwards. When will she awake from her slumbers, and go in for the extra £10,090;; as recomipendod by you, Mr Edilof, at a cost of only £3OO ■» year, on present- outlay,with the prospect 6f increased trade oven reducing that. Wake up, wske up, Patea. The mine of wealth we have at our command in produce, wool, beef; etc!, etc.j must have an outlet. We will always require an outlet towards the south. Then there’s Dawson’s gold-field. A good time is coming, boys.
