Bent Grass. TO THE EDITOR.

Sic, — I wish to thank you for your notice of my report on Sandy Point, and ask you to make a flight correction. I did not wish to convey the idea that the bent grass was taken from Taranaki to Warroambool, although I see now that my words are open to that construction, but that it was in Taranaki to 1881, and was taken thence to Sydney, whereas it was not introduced to Warr'nambool and Port Faity till 1883. Most likely Baron Mueller got the seeds or plants direct from Europe. — I am, fee,, Invercargill, July 3. Thomas Waugh. The Rev. A. H. Wallace is likely to settle down in Gore. A message from the sea purporting to have been written bygone of the missing fishermen has, according to the Clntha Free Press, beet picked up at Port Melyneux. The message, which has every appearance of being a crux-] hoax, was inside a common bottle, and rar thus: — " Lefb Port Molyneux fine weather, Caught in a gale. Rudder broke. Hope we might see a passing vessel. Now the boat if full of water ; s'nking fast." Across the note is written " Good-bye to all," under which ia 8 scrawl. IMITATIONS OF THE REAL Original fall far short of it, and are as un pleasant as it is palatable. Insist upon haviDjj the rexl — that is, Wolfe's Schnapps.
