Tn order to give our employees a i little recreation, we purpose not issuing tomorrow evening, and we feel assured that if our readers knew of the long and tedious woi k each and all on a newspaper l:abe to perform ; daring the six days of the week, they would ' not. begrudge cur staff a rest occasionally. A printer is like a clock, you can keep winding him up and he will keen go’ng, but »l”o like a clock he requires a little looking after 0.-ca- 1 sionally, and now and then a slight spoil, in order that he may be put into proper going order once more is necessary. Commenting on the rejection by Tawhiao of the Government proposals, the Sydney ' Evening News makes the following cxlraor- ■ dinary remarks : —“ Well, in all probability, i he should have made abetter J.V. than many ' whom we have known in New Zealand. The old gentleman was very well behaved when | he sat in the House of Representatives (?) ; with Ids black silk hat and purple bandana, and we have- never seen him, as we have some of his white colleagues, lying drunk on the ' floor of the house.” We are pleased to hear that Messrs. Ken- : nedy and Bennett have leased the wharves from the Harbour Board. This is as it should i be. The wharves are now in the hands of I practical men, who thoroughly know and ■ sympathise with the wants of shippers and landers, and in Messrs. Kennedy and Bennett ; we have a guarantee that those wants will i

be thoroughly attended to, and/to’the utmost of their power, forestalled. We congratu late the Harbour Board on having secured Messrs. Kennedy and Bennett as the lessees. The successful tender for the Turanganui Ferry and Weighbridge, showed an increase of £42 14s over the amount secured by the Council on the previous year. In McFarlane’s Hall to-night, at the repetition of Ye Old English Fayre, there will be a magic lantern. There will also be side shows with numerous new attractions. 'Pho Punch and Judy Show ought to take well. It di«l not do so last night, because it was not there, so we feel certain that this new feature in “Ye Fayre ” will be duly appreciated by those who have the interests of the cause for which the “ Fayre ” has been improvised, at heart. The Childrens’ Concert, which is to take place to-morrow night at Messrs. Parnell and Boylan's Hall, must not be forgotten. We believe from all we can learn that it will be an unqualified success, and we sincerely trust that such will be the case, seeing that the object is a just and a good one. Mr Peter Searle has advertised in this evening’s issue of our paper that he has commenced business in Peel-street, u..xt to the old Central Butchery, for the sale of vegetables and fruit. As the (best of qualities are guaranteed, we wish Mr Searle every success.
