A settier near Patea the other day told a Maori that if any native came to plough on his land it would be the last sod he turned as he would assuredly shoot him. The' native replied that European lullets could not hurt him. The Key A. R. Fitchett is a sensible man. At All Saints Church, Dunedin, last Sunday he said that he recognised the expediency of abbreviating divine service during the winter months. The devotional part of it was beyond his control, but while the present cold weather prevailed he would limit his discourses to the duration of a quarter of an hour. Silent approval of the rev. gentleman s consideration for expediency and good sense forthwith overspread the faces of his half frozen hearers.
