A young couple in the Tuapeka district have had the truth of the saying, "The comae of true love never does run smooth," hrought home to them (says the Times). The man in the case had, it appears, been keeping company with the daughter of a neighbor for some time, but the latter's family objected' and peremptorily insisted that all further personal attention on his part should cease. Their wishes in this regard were respected, but love laughs at locks and bars, and the local post office was resorted to as a vehicle for exchanging love's tender greetings. ' This proved satisfactory for a time, but eventually the girl's family discovered the fact that letters were passing, and resolved that nothing short of a personal chastisement would bring the young man to a proper sense of their disapprobation. The climax came the other day when the father and brothers of the young lady met the young man on the hills. Just what happened cannot be said, but as a result several informations have been issued, and the matter will be judicially threahed out at the nest sitting of the Magistrate's Court at Lawrence.
