(fbom oub own cobbespondent) Bulls, July 4. Confound these politics, for while the people are so absorbed "your own's " occupation ig cone. We preach politics, eat. politics, and sleep on politics, and even a dose of politics has been recommended by our medicals as a cure for divers . arid sundry diseases. Even the breath of scandal is hushed and while such is *the case what the diggins is a poor penny-a-liner to write about. Ask anyone the news, and you get jour reply in a political puzzle, attend "the churches and you hear political sermons, co the Salvation meeting and you hear of political Salvation, enquire the price of eggs, and you will find politically speak* ing they are on the rise, and political flour is in great demand, therefore, while this intense excitement last " your own " will hie him to his little tree, and sleep till the intelligent electors have given their verdict, A general feeling is expressed that the different local bodies should communicate with the Government, and get the§Govemor to proclaim the day.of election a|general holiday. If such were done it would be a great convenience to a large number of electors throughout the colony. An address, very memerously signed, has been presented by the townspeople to Mr C. H. Maclean, who is about leaving the Rangitikei for the other I sland, where it is very probable he will obtain the incumbency of a large church. During his residence in the Rangitikei i he has always been to the fore in everything that would tend to advance the welfare of the district, and his commanding presence will long be remembered by a ! large circle of friends. The last Anglican entertainment having . proved so great a success it is proposed to get up another about the end of this month.
