MR SEDDON AS A TEMPERANCE LECTURER.
According to the correspondent of tho New Zealand Times, who is aocompaaybig tbe Premier on his trip through the Island, there were a good many allusions to sly grog traffic at Moawhanga. Mr Seddon adritfod them to threw their whUky into the Tlver, and told them the story of & miner, who, when hit whisky ran out, took to Painkiller and then to St. Jacob's oil, and that finished him. At this there was great laughter from the Maoris and they all directed their gßse upon one of their number, who sheepishly hung his head. It appearod the Premier had scored off a native ely grog seller without knowing it. This native's name *m Jacob, and his compatriots took the uUuslou to the deadly properties ol St. JaooVs <# to apply to Jacob's whisky. The ftledtin wanted to have an hotel, but the Proper told them tuoy would have the Rev. Mr Isitt up after them, and went, on to dissuade them from having anything to do with a public house.
