An inicresting feature m Mr iFovlong's last lecture was the remarkable judgment upon Zedekiah, a Icing who ridiculed the prophecy against him?elf, .which stated that he should see the King of Babylon, and should go to Babylon but not see Babylon. Ho thought it an impossibility. It was however by his being taken to a small city, wLere he saw the king, and, having had -his eyes put out, was carried to Babylon. The remarks on the prophecies m regard to, and the description of, the Jews, and Jerusalem wer.c especially interesting. — "Advocate." , The "News Letter," reports a curious case of sticking up as having occurred at Masterton on Friday evening. A son of Mr McCardle a lad. about eight or ten years old, was returning from Masterton at dusk, and when near homo a' Maori came up with him'and asked him to give him one of the loaves of bread he was carrying.- The lad refused, and the Maori then gave him a blow m the face, took the bread, and hurried off. The proper name of the Maori is not known, but nearly everybody knows him by the sobriquet of " Rawbones." A youngster, while warming his hands over the kitchen fire, was remonstrated with by his father, who said : " Gro 'iv.tfrom the s^ove. The weather is not cold." The little fellow, looking up at his stern parent demurely, replied : " I ain't heatiu* the weather. I'm warmin' my hands."
