KAWAEAWA,

As Mr Imndon was seen in church on a recent Sunday, apparently listening with much interest to the ealni exhortations of the Rev Mr Lambert, it may be assumed that John is either turning from his wicked wars, or thinking seriously of business in re the coming contest. There was a bright coin observed in the plate on the occasion of the "count out." A great many folks are asking me " What six-foot-two means by hanging behind the baker's shop door till 10 o'clock every evening ?" Just as if I knew. Again — just as if 1 would tell There is a family here who send to Auckland for 3 boxes of matches, 21bs of sugar, 2 skins of blacking, and a quarter of tea occasionally ; the other side of the question does looks bad. The women, however, cocked their noses up the other day, and " had it out " thus : Mrs S. to Mrs B.— " How do ye like my trim ?" " Not at all, inadame; looks so awfully grim." " But how appreciate our town ? you're six months herein." " Not at all, Mrs B.; we caino but to make tin." " The deuce you did, then come and try our shug-gar, 'Tis better than the Auckland ; 'sides you save the 'lug' — eh; And might spend a shilling where yon get your work, Sealing us as bosom friends— not forgetting kirk !" Mrs M.'s cookie - darling sighs muchly since Mrs McGr. took a fancy to "a tear-in-her-eyc " down at the corner The Doctor and Peggy had the band down at the house the other day, and shouted for all hands ! In fact, both shouted, "Grit out!" Dick Farrar did a mean trick in leading Joe to believe he would get returned to the County Council by an overwhelming majority. It is said Joe " wiped " out his own name when

voting. He is quite capable of perpetrating such, a blunder ; the printing was so bad.
