OHINEMURI GOLDFIELD.

(FROM OUtt OWN COBBESPONDENT.) __ «• — Paehoa, Tuesday. You have already been informed of all particulars ro tho turning of the first sod, or rather tho putting in of the first pile, of the Paeroa Public Hall, The carpenters aro now in full swing, and tho building, when completo, will no doubt reflect credit nn all concerned, and be a great convenience to the inhabitants. A meeting of the School Committee was hold last night, when some routine business was transacted, and accounts passed for payments. A uew chimney and fireplace have just beon completed; tho teacher and children having suffered a good deal from cold during the past few weeks of inclement weather will no doubt appreciate tho action taken by the Board in this matter. The s.s, • La Buona Ventura' is on her w ay up tho Waihou, towing a largo punt

' lead of limber, intended, I believe, for the erection of extensive farm buildings 1 on what is known as Mackay's farm, now ■ owned by llio manner of tho Few Zca- ; land Bank in London. _ ft ow_tbat there in some talk of Tuku- • kino withdrawing his opposition to tho 1 completion of the road betweon tho I'harucs and hero, it is to be hoped that the authorities will lose no time in running up (he telegraph wires to this place. This could be done in a few weeks, almost whilst the natives woro talking about it, and would be a great boon to settler?, business people, and others in the district. A few of tho natives have returned home from tho Lands Court, and are commencing farming operations. The greater number, however, together with a considerable proportion of tho Kuropean population who are interested in cases now before tho Court, remain still in Shortland, Should tho Court bo adjournod up here, wo may look forward to a few weeks of brisk trade, badly needed just now when every thing is at rather a low ebb.
