The Jsaseby peripatetic correspondent of the 1 Waikouaiti Herald v reports:—The bdnifac.es naturally look gloomy and discontented at finding that the " fools', pence " de not flow as plentifully and as readily into their coffers as of yore. This falling off in the drinking habits of the people is to a_very great degree aitributabletotheestablishment of a br.inch lodge of the Order qi Good Templars, .which has not only allayed the unhappy craving for drink which some people are unable to resist, but lias, at the same time, introduced a better tone into the various classes of society, which must be visible and patent to all residents as well as strangely. Money, which was formerly thrown away in the vain effort to satisfy an insatiable thirst for alcoholic and other stimulants, is now turned into its legitimate channels, and the storekeeper and clothier find their rto neglected accounts paid while families are necessarily better clothed and better fed than was their wont.
