Spabrowhawk,— We have already given an account of the ball you refer to. Thanks for other items. j A.BGUS. — Many thanks. Shall be pleased to hear from you frequently. Your wish has been attended to. Thames. — If you so desire it, we shall not print any paragraph about a grass widow and an engineer. A. T. (Whangarei). — We could not give you the name if we wished to, Because it was received before we took charge. Perhaps you are right that he is a snake in the grass. Chaieman Countby School Committee. — There is not much difference in our politics after all, as you have probably found out by this time. Thanks for your good opinien of us. Wairoa. — Thanks for favour. Our announcement that we had discontinued the services of all contributors only referred to those in town and not to country correspondents. Your letter will appear next week. Mebkt Andbew. — We do not know from whence the paragraph came, as it was before our time, bnt we should be very sorry to give such matter insertion. You are wholly misinformed. The name we regard as a nom- de-plume. Sib Obacle. — The ladies subscribe well to the Obseeveb, and they are entitled to their corner. We could not deprive them of their fashion gossip. Your other complaint was well-founded^.but we are not so much to blame as you suppose. Mangakahia.— Your letter is the one exception to our scores of congratulations. We have no intention of supplying literary filth, hut shall not lack backbone. We might suggest the Sydney Dead Bird as the sort of paper that would suit you, if it is still in existence. Annie. — You will find this a good recipe for a lemon padding. One lemon, \\ pints of milk, Jib of freshly grated bread crumbs, l£oz of butter, 2oz of sugar, 3 eggs. Put the rind of the I lemon in the milk to infuse for twenty minutes, then bring it gently to the boil, and pour it over the bread crumbs ; add the butter and sugar, and the eggs well beaten. Pour the mixture into a pie-dish which has been lined with puff pastry, and bake for three quarters of an hour in a moderate oven.
