THE MERRIVALE RUSH.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Your Otautau correspondent, is nrt entitled to much credit far bis contributions. He says be met bis old friend Pat Hayes at the Merrivule diggings. I never was at Merrivale diggings, and be is so friend of mine.— I am, &3., P. Hates. [Our Otautau correspondent must be exonerated from this blunter at the editorial expense. Our correspondent used only the name “Pat,” who apparently is some local celebrity, but knowing that the well known prospector, Put Hayes, was working in the Longwood, we came to the conclusion that be
was the person meant, and to identify the person move particularly we added the word Hayes—hence the mistake.— Ed. “W. S.”]
