Country and Mining News. (From Our Correspondents.) Special to CORRESPONDENTS.—The immense increase of country correspondence in our columns is matter of great pleasure to us. But we have to ask correspondents to condense as much as possible, otherwise there cannot be space for all, and our desire is to neglect none. The correspondent who can put much news in small space is a public benefactor; those who are too wordy should not be surprised when much of what they write has to be left out. The continuous effort in connection with this portion of the JOURNAL is to give every location in the country a turn, in the space available. It may be necessary, also, that we have longer intervals between the appearance of letters, and we ask the indulgence of correspondents in such cases. Correspondents should send memo, of their accounts quarterly to the Business Manager, Town Ahd Country Journal. Bowral. January 21
