TINUI

[from our own correspondent]. Nov. 19th. There is really but little to write about just now. The weather has been very changeable of late; up till Wednesday last it was quite summer, then suddenly it turned bitter cold, with abundance of rain. Hie cold was very keenly felt after such warm weather, and of course it is much against shearing operations; and, which is of no less importance, is the condition our raids we in after a heavy fall of rain. This state of affairs will have to go on until such time as the main lino is metalled,

The biiperintendent of Police visited linui on Ihunday, and decided upon the section for the lock-up and constable's cottage. The site is on the main road, running back to the Whareama Creek and ia in a capital position, securin" a good padaoclc and never-failing stream of water. This is a great advantage. The price paid for this land is £IOO per acre, and it is quite likely the required buildings will be erected this summer. lam informed tint the land atTinui known as "Kenrick Town" ia for salo, but, it appears, under certain conditions, 1 hose conditions, no doubt, are most antagonistic to progress, and until such time as sections are sold without these restrictions we cannot expect to Bee the village advance. 3 The Rev Mr Gossett did not officiate on ounday last. It appears the rev <rentleman was detained in Wellington at the Synod. _Mr R Langdon, senior, read tile service to a fair congregation. A cricket club is now being started here and it appears that should the knights of the willow succeed in getting into good working order there will be some clnmce of victory in the challenge held out by dishict UaraPa eleVe " I10 "' slle ™B iu 4 ' ie

. Tl 'e Library Committee, met last evening,MfliSß R Mauusell (chairman), A. Jicho Is, C. Peach, J. Fabian, and J. Langdon. were present. The meeting was called to inspect and catalogue the new books received from Messrs Lyon & Blair Ihese books have arrived in first-class order, but were found to be My above the estimate. However, it was decided to keep all the books supplied, as they were good usual works and would be well patronised; moreover, the funds in hand are ample to meet all demands for the present-therefore there is nothino to complain of on that score. Catalogues and rules will shortly be printed, which will bo a great convenience to subscribers, Ihe new books are noiv ready for circulation, and the Committee feel that this institution is receiving good support from Mr Miller's new hotel is progressing favorably, and will no doubt be finished in about a month s time. We have but little illness in our midst, irue, we'have colds and, other slight ailments, but thanks to the giver of "all good things there is nothing serious.
