DOGS TOO LAZY TO BARK Stories of a place where dogs were too lazy to bark and of where a leg of mutton might bo obtained for 2d were told to members of the Corbridge Lecture Association at a meeting in Corbridge Town Hall, when Mr. Herbert Garrison lectured on "New Zealand, the Wonderland of the World," states the Newcastle Weekly Chronicle. In this district round Nelson, said the lecturer, "every prospect pleases and only man is vile,"' and man, he added, is 100 lazy to be vile. It was said, be lemarked amid laughter, that the dogs lean against the fences to get the energy to bark. New Zealand, said the lecturer, had glaciers coming down to the sea, geysers older than those of Iceland, Alps 'as lovely as those of Kurope, canyons as deep as those of Colorado, fjords as beautiful as those of Norway, and lakes, lochs, and loughs like unto those of England, Scotland, and Ireland all bundled into one.
