A traveller communicates to us the following statement : — The other clay being in a well-known bush township, not a baker's dozen of miles from New Plymouth, I called at the principal hotel there to have refreshment for man and beast. After dinner, in tho course of conversation with tho landlady, I casually remarked that, no doubt, she would at "times have some noisy, quarrelsome customers ? " Oh, no," she replied. Whenever they begin to get so wo make it a rule to ply them with cheese and bread, which genornlly appeases their anger, and wu Hud that cheaper in the long run than haviug the furniture destroyed." Mightn't other Bonifiaces advantageously adopt this avowedly well working system,
