Mr. Newton King has received the following cable from his Sydney agents re hides:—“Easier.” Mr E. W. Lewis met. with a rather painful accident on Saturday afternoon, having the top of one of his lingers cut off by a hoot-making punch. A couple of stitches wore promptly put on the injured finger and it is expected to heal well. A native named Ned, who is milking on a farm at Namu, came into the office on Tuesday, and with a gleeful smile on his face, informed ns that he had some “noose” to print, says the Opunake “Times.” After laying down a “persuader” in the shape of tile stick, Ned said: “One month yesterday I get the cow; she have one calf, a lid yesterday she have another calf, and now she have the two call’s. |}y golly all tile Maori know. 1 come to have it put in the paper.” The occurrence so impressed the Maori that lie could not retain his feelings until he told the newspaper man. r i he fact of tiie cow having two calves, and each dropped at a month’s interval, is somewhat of a novelty, and quite sufficient to cause a stir in the kaiuga. Drapers, if you travel with us you will partake of our life and vigour, the greatest among you is not too great to grow, will you join us then in speeding up the sales of Warner’s Rust-proof Corsets."
