MONGONUI.
Our new " lightnmg-jerker" is said to have an interesting history, and. when relating some of his adventures can make the hair of Aye country bumpkins stand on end. — Ted is tho longestwinded man in the district. Looking at Ted's quite too-utterly back hair one aa-oulcl imagine ho were a poet instead of a retailer of "overproof." — I Avas surprised to hear at church the other evening that there Avas such words in the Bible as " heah" " theah" " pray-ah," etc. I have searched for them since and can't find 'em, so I haA-e come to tho conclusion that the reverend H. was " poking borax at its." — A musical aucl dramatic entertainment in aid of repairing the Mongonui Church is on the tapis. — The singing class is a complete success, and great praise is due to the proficient teacher Mr Gillot, who gives his serA'ices gratis. Miss W. is decidedly the star of the class. — The " funny little bridge" leading to a certain Northern doctor's residence should be repaired or it will become a "bridge of sighs." — H. Avas awfully missed at the rink the other evening. Every one Ava3 so sorry that he Avas such a sufferer from an abscess on the jaw. Fact. — The Rev. Mr I^itclieock preaches very telling sermons at St. Andrew's Cliurch, Mongonui.
