La grippe has at last penetrated to VVhan* garei, says the “Advocate,” and a wellknown commercial traveller has the credit of introducing this unwelcome novelty to our notice. He arrived last week, and immediately afterwards developed the symptoms of influenza. Since then the epidemic has pretty well run through one of the local hotels, Messrs Guilding and Fuller being amongst the first to succumb. Mr D. C. son(CountyEngineer)hasalsocaughtthocontagion, and, like the Good Samaritan that be is, his first thoughts are of his creditors, whom he earnestly warns by advt. elsewhere to consult their health by giving him a wide berth. The wife of one of the resident clergymen is said to be down with the complaint, the infection in this case having been conveyed in a letter from a suffering relative in Auckland. The local drapers may anticipate a boom in handkerchiefs.
