Members of the Wellington Early Settlers' Association have been urged to write their reminiscences* states the “ Post.” One of them, in so doing, has brought to light a copy book written by a boy at Wanganui Grammar School in 1563, a feature of the writing being the long strokes and the peculiar formation of the letter “t.’’ The same early colonist mentions that the first florins were brought to Wanganui by soldiers from India, but shopkeepers fought shy of them, and an enterprising jeweller made them up into watch-chain ornaments for five shillings. A schoolmaster of those days is also mentioned who, on the eve of his marriage, thought discretion the better part of valour, and disappeared. There being no telegraphs at that period, it was some time before he was traced. But eventually he was found and summoned for £4O for wedding breakfast expenses. But he made it up with the girl, was given £2OO by the man who summoned him <the bride's father l , had ten children, and died at the ripe age of seventyeight.
