Yesterday a'fernoon heavy rala fell from Pleasant Point westwards, and the Opihi was pretty high and very thick this morning.

Iha Theatre Boyal will be occupied on j Friday evening, by Bawei, the Maori evangelist, in *' Maori music, song, and story ” He has just returned from a tour down south, where has met with a splendid reception all along the line. He is now on his way to the North Island and Australia. The singing alone of this gentlemen is a sure guarantee ot a good house.

The Band ballast on the beach, on which numerous plants of Oape weed—"ten times worse than the Queensland burr" —grew last year, has been largely carted away for mortar making. It is to be hoped that the owners of the buildings wherein it has been used will keep an eye on any remnants of the sand left about, for possible weed plants. There are a good many plants of the weed now on the sand, grown up since the Harbour Board and railways put men on to grub up all the weed 4 *. Another weed, apparently originating from the same sand, is spreading rapidly over the adjoining shingle. 80 far as we can remember no notice was taken of this particular weed last year. It seems a bad one to have in quantity, as it is of a low spreading habit.

Tbe Harbour Board aro having the road to the shingle face scar the breakwater im* proved by widening it across tbe old block ground, bo that there will be no need for the drays, as heretofore to keep in one rut, Tbe ruts had become so deep that one could only wonder why the people who used the road did not combine to fill them up. There is plenty of broken metal in the old crane track to make a sound road of it. An accident happened to one of the drays tipping earth down this morning, which occasioned more amusement than pity. The dray went down the tip—about eix feet—as well as the load, and the horse was lifted clean off his legs and hung up in tbe air swung in the harness in a ludicrously helpless fashion. The tugs being freed and the belly-band cut, bo dropped out on his feet quite comfortably.

I In a letter to the Manawatu Standard Mr W. W. Oarlile thus writes regarding Mr W--0. Smith and the Umuatoroa block : “ About twelve years ago Danevirke appeared to have a great future ahead of it. A railway ' station was put down in its vicinity suitable for a town of about 4000 people. When one asked what might be the reason of this, the engineers who recommended its construction told us that a large town could not fail to grow up somewhere about there, when the great blocks of land that were then Native land were bought by the Grown and opened up for settlement. Danevirke has had its hopes in this respect disappointed. And who can wonder at it, when the man to whom it trusted to prevent the alienation of its birth right has himself been found to have made a fortune by bis private Native land purchases, Highly recommended for Invalids and delicate Children Aulsebeook’s Oracknell.
