While placing Mr Ewing ton in another school in the parish, he was e ]ad that he could fill his place with such a good and tried teacher as Mr Hemery. Frequent applause during the proceeding., demonstrated the genuine goodwill of all present. __________________

"SLEEPY HOLLOW."

Wb have In hand two or threo letters on "Sleepy Hollow." "An Old Resident" declares that " Visitor's '" account cf Onebsuga truthfully describes the state of tie footpaths. Ho says :-" Mr Sheldrick denies the fact of people having to leave their boots on the doorsteps after a walk eat at night, but let him or any other man or woman venture to cross from the road to the footpath on the west side of Queen street, end I guarantee their boots will be unfit to walk indoors with, a-.d the chjnces are they will leave them in tho mad, which any visitors will see if they notice the mud channel from Captain street ffte street the reservoir is built on) onwards, nearly to Holli. - 'bus stables ; and it will be no easy thing for our worthy Borough Council to remedy," unless they do the work BO long needed, that is, to form a footpath on the east side of Queen .breet from the post office to the wharf. Mr Sheldrick takes objection to ' Viator's' remarks as to fixing a target in the streets. No doubt ' Visitor ' was a little extreme on this head, but for oar system of management, there is no doubt our population would have been much larger than it now is. We cannot expect, while a 4d or 6d rate is to bo the highest allowed, and cows and horses to nn the. streets by night, that Onehunga will be entitled to a better namo than 'Sleepy Hollow.' It was rather too bad ef 'Visitor' to speak of the people as un braced and untidy. The young men generally, and Sheldrick himself, is as well braced and clean walking a man as can well be seen."

"L'Avenlr" writes: — " Kindly permit me to add my mite in the praise in favour of o«t town, and if we have permitted "Visitor" to come aud see what he must lnost certainly have seen to have spoken so truly, let us try and alter matters for the fatuite, and give him our hearty and united thanks for seeing for us what many of us hare been unable to see. Our home is most pleasantly situated on a beautiful and gentle elope, giving the facilities for the best end easiest drainage. Wo have plenty ef the finest stono actually in our streets for their improvement. We havo the finest water in the country. We have a good and fairly safe harbour commanding the trade—if we had men of energy to manage our affairs—of the ""whole of the vest coast of the North Island; and, sir, I might go on a long while speaking of our advantages, bat how true " Vi.itor " says : "there are a certain class who dread im provement; they will have theto not, at any £ rice." The gas is being forced upon as in spite of them. Consider tho deepy mood of our managers when I saj there is no water anywhere available tn case of fire. Should 3uch a calamity occnr, we should have to wake up for once, but only to watch the fire pursue its course unchecked until it had devoured all it could. If thero had been the least energy in our councillors we might have had oar own gas and water in our principal street at least; but as with ;the ga_> we d»ll see, if onr helm is held by the same power, that Auckland will senduswateralso. Witbthepresentspirit there ie only one thing flat, to my mind, will save us, that is a loan of say £20,000, let us have the mprovements, and the place with themwill be well able to pay the interest and a sink ing fund. There are some at here wno wdnld complain if they had to pay Id w the £1, an d consider tbe 6d rate a dread nil infliotion, but in the present condition of to place als 6d rate would not be either unreasonable or high, considering how back ward_ it is. For one, I must thank Visitor" for having aroused us, and I hope other visitors will tell us plainly what ttey see as he has done." ' Progress "sayt:—"Your correspondent Visitor' is rather hard on Onehunga, tttonßh the truth of his remarks re roads and rates, cannot be denied. But despite the eemmg qqjot there is a large amount of business dene and labour employed, as, for jMtance, at Roe's Mill and the several tanneries Great things were expected «<nn the Iron Sand Company's Works, but ra this case hope deferred makes the heart sick. But we are in hope of getting the woollen factory here, which, under good jnanadement, must be a success. We nadly want some new blood diffused amongst the inhabitants, when Onehunga, «om its natural advantages, and if under men instead of fossllp, would soon lose its "He of Bleepy Hollow."
