According to the correspondent of the Mount Ida paper, Cambrians must be a pleasant place to live in. He says:—“ The animals in this district are remarkably social. I lately left my house with the door open. On my return six horses were eating my apple trees in my garden; four goats were demolishing my scented plants; five geese were bathing in my tank ; four kids were lying in my bed ; a billygoat was eating my flannel vest, which I left airing at the fire; and a duck had entirely masticated the first pages of my ‘Pleasures of Hope.’ Some men have wives and no families. lam in the unenviable position of being minus the wife, hut decidedly overplus the families."
