In the course of a letter home a New Zealand trooper says:—“Near Rrederickstadt I saw the grave of nineteen Boers. The inscription on the tombstone, evidently put on by a Tommy, caught my fancy. It was as under:— f THere lie nineteen Boers, n Who came to Frederickstadt to steal our stores, Now they have gone to better shores— What O, she bumps ?’ Rather a peculiar inscription for a tombstone, eh ?” The apple orchards in Poverty Bay have produced very large crops this s ason. One orehardist has obtained a bout 140 tons of apples, all of which he will have to export as there is no local market. A movement is on foot, to establish^ruit-canning and preserving works im the-district. ✓
