A' eonWmporary has been collecting some of (be bomoare of the hUßtings.

Tim last example is from viotoria. A buoollo patriot had been asked by the eleetorl' whether he was in favour of a borrowing polioy, and his agent explained to him that debenture!'. were isated, and 'the money raised thus on the debenture* 'had to be paid off some time or other, but 'usually it was left, for posterity to do so. The candidate thereupon informed the eleotors that he was in favour of them 'ere debentures, and that it was only right that our " interiors" should bo left to pay ,for them! The country borrespbndent of a contemporary reports that since his last 'letter he has "unearthed' two more shoomakere." A Wanganui paper records that a i Phi ladelphia dootor has dlßCovored the hydro • phobia baoillußinad6gwhiohhehaa"rendered rapid by inooulation," During a recent rifle match, aooording to a Maryborough contemporary "the light waaivery dark."

' «• Tarasaki." it remarks, "is jinflew ai'Teritabla paradise, « whew every (prospect. pleasea, and only man is vile. 1 " | This is about the roughest thing that has jet been written of the Taranaki settlers. 'The Wairarapa oompß have some original ideas, and have furnished us with several paragraphs, One on the Standard has just I worked off the following:—' 1 Colonel Roberts 'holds the inquest this afternoon at two o'olook, It is believed that he will be interred at Featherston on Wednesday." A Maaterton town councillor suggested that the borough should obtain an "ilron copper" for asphalting purposes, and was quite at a loss to know were the laugh came in. A Wellington oompoßitor, by substituting a oomma for a decimal poiat, wado the Victorian wheat fields yield in the 1890-91 season the iamazidg result of 14,876 bushels per acre. , A Maryborough paper lately announced the Hinemoa to sail for Palmers* ton North.
