THE WADE
— Civilization is making rapid strides at the Wiide. The latest institution kti public pound, winch the County Council has decided to establish in the district, to the sore grief and tribulation of the great majority of the settlers, only one or two of whom want the thing. Mr Hardy informs us that nearly all the signatures to the requisition for the pound are those of persons living at more or less remote distances from Dairy Flat, and he thinks the pound will be used for vindictive purposes. The land in the district is of indifferent quality, and it docs not pinto fence, so that the establishment of a pound will operate very oppressively in the case of struggling settlers running their cattle on the commonage.
