A GROWL FROM A VOLUNTEER.
To the Editor. Sir, —Our much-respected Major is very desirous (and justly so) of always seeing a good muster of the different companies on parade; hut unless he shows a little more consideration for their “poor feet” will most certainly be disappointed. We are aware of his anxiety to brush us up for the Governor’s arrival, and have no objection to turn out, so long as he does not keep us drilling until 9 30, and then giving us a long march on a dusty road home again. Perhaps the Major forgets that many of us live some distance from town, thus preventing our reaching home before 10.30. This we consider rather too much of a good thing, after being all day at business, and unless the Major bears it in mind on future parades, he will defeat the end he has in view.—l am, &c., Only one of tile many that Growl. Dunedin, .Nov. 30.
