(fiioai oue own cor,respondent.) V June 11, 1879. _ I have not much to communicate this week. But little news is often good news. We have had a fjreat. deal of showery weather, which has very materially interfered with out-door work. However, we have plenty of mud to plod through, and it is high time our Highway Board did something in the way of working rough places smooth. Strangers visiting Tinui would hardly believe that a road board existed in this locality, .for upon nearing our Telegraph and Post Office it is jnud nearly a foot in depth. Surely this is not a fit state of things, considering that,, this is the only Government building in the centre of what is to bo the township;) and this can be all remedied for about a dozen pounds, whilst this favored public body has ample means at their command.
