MONGONUI.
— The Norwegian is looking forward to the vacant J.P-ship. — " Samivel" has had his beloved sister up, to see his future. — The choir have taken the hint, and now stick-jaw wouldn't melt in their mouths. — " Ten-per-cent " is talking of leaving the district. Probably things are getting too sultry here. — "Judy" has invested in a new hat, and uses the old one as a scarecrow to frighten the sparrows. — Since the Rev. Mr G. has had a "license to marry," our local Eegistrar and his deputy have done nothing but weep ! — Just fancy, a real £50 note was seen in Mongonui, the other day. Some people's eyes watered worse than George Thomas' sheep's. — A young lady, travelling by steamer from Auckland to Mongonui, recently was charged five shillings by the affable little chief steward for three cups of tea consumed on the voyage! Who says we don't want opposition, after this, oh ?
