FBOM GUB OflrX COBEEBPONDBNI. Woobviixe, Oct. 30, 1881. Thert has been quite a storm m a teapot over the letters m the papers havin» reference to a Temperance party and of course they are very wroth that anything should have been Naid, but if they hare «nch indiscreet members I cau't help it; but that one of their members did make IT.; "W delegates being ap•mted rtkmV Ihve p ore!to t! • satisfaction of any disinterested party, wrl shown who is the real author of all the mscbief. The letter of Mr. James Hutcfcms, Secretary of various Teats, &c, I need not reply to, except to state that nobody but himself would have written such «n ungentlemanly epistle, anfl as you f, aye .

Drink and public houses will nevtr be done away with w our generation but by temperate and judicious laws their power of evil mar be reduced to the minimum and that is the earnest wish of nine-tenths of the inbabitaats of JVew Zealand. A \ olunteer comj^ny is being talked about here^nd I believe about 20 names have already been given m and I fully expect another twenty names before the end of the week.

Johnsrone is having two or three sections of bis land cleared, and . as it lies close to the township this will materially improve the appearance, to say nothing of the eabanced value of the property adjacent. ■•..'.. . ,•?
