Again wo havo to inform correspondents that neitho’' letters nor correspondence will find space incur columnsunlesa accompanied with the names of tho writers. Under no circumstances, however, would we insert the letter from tho “Three Alexandra Boys,” whom wo would advise, before they criticise other people, to make themselves rather more perfect .in tneir spoiling and general competition. Tf, as wo judge, tho three hoys have left school, we advise them to \iut themselves under a course with Mr Qouldintf, who Will doubtless teach them that Latm is spelt'with one “ t,” disposition ono “a,” sudden with two “ d’s,” and that several other eccentricities of spelling indulged inaid'not correct. The Tuapeka Times congratulates Mr J. J. Woods, teacher of the Rdfcan Catholic School, Lawrence, as being the successful competitor—out of twelve—for tho ton , guinea prize offered by tho Saturday Advertiser for the Dost National air for words written by Mr Bracken. Mr Musgrave, of Melbourne, who was entrusted with the selection of judges, succeeded in obtaining the services of Zelman, HereSio 10, and Bepln who are considered to bo the best judges of music in Victoria. Mr Musgrave says They did not judge together. I left the twelve manuscripts with them, and they returned them, naming each his dccisir '' Strange to say, they all selected tho earn, one, ‘ Orpheus Lawrence 1 ; thev all say it has more melody in it than any of. the others.” Mr.). E. Stevens, teacher of tho Clyde School, was one of the competitors. A casual corresoondent writing us says : “That a good stretch of land at Speargrass and Bald Hill Flats is this year under crop, though some very large paddocks ‘arc laid down exclusively in grasses, presumably for pasturage purposes. This class of farming is in my opinion very much neglected, not only to the loss of the farmers, but to the general puMic, as instead of tho butchers being supplied with prime conditioned beef and mutton reared bn good pasturage, the only thing to be obtained is the hard dry unpalatable stuff, fed on the mountains. Dairy farms, pnre and simple, again I notice are hut few and’far between ; but those that do exist, if the generally substantial appearance of the homesteads are any criterion, I should imagine, pay" well. The best onh of this class is that of Messrs White, M'Donough, and Co., on Speargrass Flat, whose homestead is a pattern for othe s to be guided by. The While of their buildings —including a la'ge two-storey dwellinghouse, dairy, barn, cow byres, &e.—aro all of stone. Mr Kemp, of the Cape Broom Hotel, Bald Hill Flat, combines with the business of Hotelkeeper that of dairy farmer, the which latter, I do not doubt, despite the many attractions of his house, pays the better of the two. Mr Kemp’s efforts, however, in the dairy lino are perfect though small, and I would bo little surprised, when he fully realizes the benefits of butter making, that he extends his operations. The | only other hotel in this neighborhood—the 1 Speargrass Flat Hotel, Jaa. Oliver, proprietor —has connected with it about 200 acres I of land, which I notice is mostly all down in cereals, and really fine they look.. , Jas. . Oliver appears to thoroughly understand his | business, ; and, if I mistake not, will reap a | rich harvest from both hotel and farm.— ■ More power to him !”

Why arc the fair sex in Canada mr. peeled of a tendency to homicide’—Because they are fond of sleighing. A wag and what he knows about farming gives a very good plan to remove widow's weeds, fie says a gooddooking man has only to say, “ Wilt thou ?” and they will. There are two printers in an American newspaper office, both hearing the sumo name—Walter Kuerr. There should be some excuse for an Knerr-or in that office.
