AN EXCERPT.

(to thb editor ) Sir,—l came across the following paragraph tbe other day, aud thought it applied to a certain body n r t 100 miles from Kawhia, therefore I a?k you to republish it: “ Some sarcastic person on the East Coast, who had evidently grown dis gusted with tbe fruitiessness of his efforts to get a new road to Lone Dog Gully, or a bridge across some out-of-the-way stream, took it out of tbe County Council the other day by sending them the following bit of satire : * A committee or council is several men, Perhaps not ao many, or far more than tea, Who combinejnll their efforts, and stick boa

plan For doing unitedly less than one man? The Council, with a supercilious smile, merely dropped the MS into the waste-paper basket. The shrevFdness of the hit probably explained their haste to get the thing out of sight.” —Yours, etc., NO SATIRE.
