This time, however, rather in favor of Jemima Jane. An Abigail, not 100 miles from Palmerston (writes a correspondent of ' Manawatu Times'), lately complained to her mistress—a newly-married lady—that she would have to give warning as there was not enough to do, and time hung too heavily upon her hands.
