ARROWTOWN.

(FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Our Amateur Dramatic Club, as expected, was very successful at Cromwell, and they returned safely on Sunday evening after their three days trip, which every member appeared heartily to enjoy. Queenstown critics will doubtless be severely put about, their opinions being entirely opposite to those of people elsewhere. It was kit for them to make the discovery that “ kilts were immoral” ; after this the opinions of our neighbors will be taken for what they are worth. Mr Henry Manders, M.F.C., addressed a few of Ida constituents at the Library Hall on Saturday evening, respecting the political question! of the day, such as the abolition of the Provinces, &c., but bis audience was a very small one owing to such a large number of the leading spirits of the place being absent play-acting at Cromwell. Mr Manders promises to come at a more convenient time, when his constituents wi 1 be amusing themselves at home instead of being abroad amusing other people. However, a little fraternization between the people of neighboring goldfields districts does a great deal of good, and I look upon tho result of Cromwell visit as a very great step towards breaking up stupid local jealousies. Tho Arrow is very intimately allied with Cromwell—the people there are the best customers we have for our produce, and were it not for that place I scarcely know what our farmers would do. Queenstown is no earthly use to ns whatever. Its inhabitants would be overstocked were they to buy from ns one hundred bushels of oats, or three tons of flour; as to oatmeal, they will have nothing at all to do with it, kilts are too immoral for a taste for such vulgar food as burgoo to exist there.
