Several complaints have been made lately about the practice some young men hare of congregating at the National Bank corner of an evening, and blocking up the sidewalk so much that ladies have been known to step right out into the road in order to pass along. A correspondent states that as many as 20 young men are sometimes to be seen round this corner of a night ; most of them smoking. This is a matter that should be seefa. to by the constable on beat, as a word from him would soon put a stop to the practice. This week's New Zealand Graphic contains sketches by Mr F. Godfrey, of New Plymouth, taken in the Recreation Ground. There is the " Poet's Bridge," the bathing house, Maloney'sf cottage, "Dickey Barret," the cascade, and a glimpse of the Central School through the trees. There is an excellent illustration of that ill-fated steamer, Serpent, wrecked off Cape Yillano, and another of the officers in her, who were all loßt. There is a picture of the collision of trains on the Exeter line, where the engines are to be seen looked together. A full page illustration, " Waiting," and some "Lovely Dinner Dresses," with, a number of small pictures, make up a very attractive number. Copies may be obtained from all the booksellers.

Wttitara, is being pushed on very rapidly,, Mr Riohardßon inforuiß us that during hie trip over tho Taranaki district ho took particular notioeof the labour markot us ho went along and found that for the most part tho demand for labour is far in excess of the supply. Up to and about Palmeraton North the market was firm and there were no unemployed to be found. The further he got north the harder got the market until at last there were not men to be found to do the work available. Men were in some cases refusing to work for Is per hour at grass seed cutting, and gocji wages, were being made all round. There is now .a grand chance for the unemployed in Wellington to get employment, as Mr Richardson assures us that what with road making, bushfelling, and grass cutting and seeding there is ample work to bo had for several months to come."
