KAWHIA ROAD.
A (.enilemw who lias inst travelled over tho new road from Ale\«widi«i to Powena for the fa'ist time, wai> very pleasingly gurpiii>ed at the excellent grades, and tho work done on tbib load. To thoso who can enjoy bush on a fine day the drive is delightful. But the Natiso Minister will find that much has yet to be dona to gat the load in pucli a state of safety as we should like to mjo it before he visits it, which ho stated to the Maoris would bo in Marcli, when ho would duve in a buggy over the road. That amusing rangitira H«me Wetero Tohuki, on hearing the Native Minister hay bo would diive over in a buggy, tied a large knot in his handkerchief. Our correspondent, on ai riving at his abode, found the knot still untied. We tmst the unbelieving chief will have to untie the knot before the Native Minister ai rives, as from observation a good deal of work requires to be done beforo that knot is undone. — (Own Correspondent.)
