The Wanganui Herald of the 3rd instant says : — " We have been informed upon the best authority that seven natives were supplied, on a permit from Mr. Booth, on Tuesday last, with one pound of gunpowder, 250 caps, and seven pounds of shot to each man. It is said that it is to be used for sporting purposes. We doubt this ; and we think the power of supplying powder to natives should be withdrawn from Major Booth." If this is true, Native Commissioners seem to have very extensive powers. " Can you tell me, Bill, how it is that a rooster always keeps his feathers sleek and smooth ?" "No," said Bill. " Well, he always carries his comb with him." A high rent — a hole in the crown of your hat.
