Sir Wilfred Lawson, in the course of an after-dinner speech* is reported to have said ; —“ There was once a mayor of an ancient borough who was a staunch teetotaller, and well-known to bo so. He attended the festivities promoted by a neighboring borough , and somebody that knew him well put a glass of milk nunch close to his plate. The mayor saw the glass and could not resist it. He took it up, quaffed the contents, and setting it down, exclaimed, “ Lord, what a cow !” The destruction of sparrows has been commenced on. a wholesale scale at Auckland.
