NOAROTO.

(OjiiTO Correspondent.) Dga€h has lately been in our jjidit. On Sunday, 21st ult, a respected resident working on an estate in this locality, lost by pneumonia, his little three-year-old girl. The little one was

buried the following Monday, Father Lynch officiating at the grave-side. The weather, that perennial and never-failing subject of conversation, has at length changed after a spell most phenomenal at this season of the year.

Oh ! for the time when " rabbits cease from troubling and trappers are at rest." The latter may for a time rest on their oars and count their gains at cost of brer rabbit, as the poisoning period has arrived. So beware ye rabbit stew eaters.

I should like to draw the attention of authorities to get them to petition the Hon. Minister for Railways re bridge on railway line between Te Awamutu station and Ngaroto. There are simply bare sleepers most of the way. Most other railways' small bridges have either two planks, running parallel between rails. Only last Sunday evening a resident just escaped by proverbial hair's breadth, a vory serious accident managing, evidently, to fall sideways, and so, although bruised, was saved by timber used in construction of bridge. It is certainly time an improvement was made.
