Many “parcel boxes” may be observed’ in the vicinity of various farms, in which the grocer, baker, and other tradesmen leave goods for the owners, instead of losing much time in entering each farm house enclosure. These boxes are erected high enough to be safe from canine depredations, but evidently are not safe from people passing by, states the Napier “Telegraph.” Recently, during a week-end in the Tikokino district, a person deprived a man of all the food which had been left, and which was to have seen the owner over the week-end. This was indeed a misfortune to the loser, as no more food could be procured until the next week, when the shops re-opened.
