According to a Northern contem porary, (says the Poverty Bay xierald), a draught horse was sold at Hamilton pound the other day for 3d. Tolago Bay has a record that will beat that. Two horses were sold from the pound at Id each, and the buyers tossed a coin to see which would take the two.
THUS an American paper :—" We live in a laud of high mountains and high taxes, low valleys and low wages, big crooked statesmen, hi>j strikes, dig drunks, big pumpkins, big men with big pumpkin heads, silver s'reams that gambol in the mountains, and politicins who gamble iu the nijir, i oaring cataracts and roaring pi'ato.tS; fast trains, fast horses, fast young girls and faster, sharp lawyers, sbaip financiers, and sharp-toed shoes, noisy children, fertile plains that lie like a sheet ot water, and thousands of newspapers that lie like thunder, and these thousands of newspapers have thousands of delinquent subscribers who lie like the devil, and will not pay a darned cent."
