A rather remarkable bird is in the possession of Mr. S. White, of Waikaka Valley (says the Mataura Ensign). In 18'', shortly after Mr. White commenced farming in the district, he purchased a sitting of goose eggs. These eggs were hatched, and from the clutch a fine goose was reared. This goose did her duty in the world by rearing a clutch of goslings every year till about 1900. She is still enjoying her wellearned rest, and to look at her one would not realise that she lias seen 32 cummers. It is not thought that the bird lias a senior in the Dominion. A parishioner of mino suffering from sovere Tunc troubles finds Baxtor s Lung Proserver gives him the most wonderful relief. —(Signed) J. A. Jacobs, vicar, Wangauui, October 29, 1908,
