MR PASCOE ON THE T,ATE ME -TING AT KA.I IK iTI, TO THE EDITOB Siß, — With regard to a meeting held at Mr Stewart's house some time back by tbe Eati> kati settlers, I see Alex. Turner nominates himself a tenant farmer of Ulster. If he is the best specimen of the sort Mr Stewart oan produce, it would have been better not to have mentioned that highly respectable body, as I am sure they would not feel flattered by the comparison, nor boa Turner any more pre* tensions to bare been a tenant farmer than the man in the moon. He aleo attacks me with not having pluck to walk through water up to my knees somewhere where he and the Rev Mr Mulgan crossed together ; if thai; gentleman was present at tbe time, he knew it was not terror of the water prevented me, as I did not fail him on one occasion when he and two ladies were aground on a bank oppo* site Katikati. He also Eays lam not adapted for any country or climate. This must have been highly edifying to the Trustees of the School and Highway Boards then elected, and I hope they have not^omitted to enroll Sandy among their number ; if they have, the con 1 Bequences will be serious to the future tillers of the Boil of Katikati yet unborn* Trusting you will find space for this. — I am, &c, Sam. Pascoe. Auckland, June 7, 1876 EE BONDED STORF. TO THB BDITOB. Sir, — I noticed in your last issue, you made the statement that in Tauranga there is no bonded store. This statement is not correct, and you should be aware of the fact, as I advertised in jour raper for three or four months that I had opened one. Now that I am on Ibe subject, I may add that tbe store, although calculated to be of great accommodation to the public, is not supported as it should be, and that I probably shall be obliged to close it, as it would pay me fur better used for other purposes. — I am, &c, B.
