LATE LOCALS.
A horticultural curiosity wag exhibited at Nelson recently by Mr J. Mend. Included in a purchase of peaches was one fruit that was half peach and half nectarine. The nectarine portion was quite smooth and the typical colour of this fruit, the othei portion having the rough skin and colouring of a peach. The specimen will probably be preserved as an unusual horticultural freak.
Every child that leaves a primary school and goes to another ifi followed by a. report, which is forwarded through the post in a stamped envelope supplied by the Education Departmen. Several of these reports will arrive every week at a school. Since the postage soared the postman has been coming along with each envelope marked “2d to pay ; insufficient postage.” As the headmaster has no fund on which to draw for such purpose these envelopes have been refused at several Auckland schools lately, and the postman has to take them back to the Chief Post Office, whence they are returned to the Education Department.
