THE PROPOSED TOWN CLOCK.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—Seeing you advise the people of Temuka to subscribe for a clock for the town, I thought I would just drop yon a few lines on the same subject. The advantages pointed out by you would, no doubt.be realised, but there is one not mentioned which would be of great a( J V 5,«*..ge ™>" TlB -Siaveyn,--... .~,_^^_ masters and mistresses would not then be able, na now, to cheat us of a half hour by putting the clock back before meals to suit their own purposes. I am a victim to such cheating. My master, if not in the humor for his dinner, will, slyly put the clock back a good, half hour. This. I assure you, Mr Editor, is very provoking, after worrying and frizzling oneself to get the dinner ready in proper time. If we had a clock to strike every quarter of an hour he could not do this, and 1 would not then be guilty of the sin of wishing him to that dark region from whence no one returns—at least, I heard a. minister say that none do. Letter writing not being in my line, nevertheless I have endeavored to give you in the above another good reason why a clock would be an advantage to the town,—l am, &c. Cook. Temuka, February 22.
