COLLINGWOOD.

[raou oub ow.* cobbespondent. ] After about twenty four hours continuous \ heivy raio thera is at the present time o writing, Sanday night, a very heavy fresh in the river bringing down an enormous quantity of timber iooluiing wreckage fom the bridges des Toyed last week. So far there is no report of aoy farther damage, but the Road Board, owiog fo sadly restricted finances, will find it a hard job to deal with those | a'ready ascertained. At the Board's' last meeting aceoants amounting to £188 9s 9d we":e presented for contracts lately oompleted, but the funds to meat them beiog wanting they were held over, In face of such a position it seems hard to have to struggle with th9BB fresh demands and apptren ly tbey will have to Btand over indefinitely. ' Meantime enquiries are to be instituted by a commutes ol tha Board es to whit can bs done to rniet the emergency, and Mr J. Lash has s'a-ted a canoe on Stanion's Cl'eek for the OonveniezCe of foot passengers &•*?. The weather has interfered much with the efforts to raise funds in this district for tbe relief of tbe distressed people of Brunnerton, but no doubt as soon as oor people oan be proparly canvassed a fair amount will be contributed. The sub-enumarators of the 03csas are also baying a rather rough tima. WARDEN'S COURT.
