The season is at hand, says the Boston Comrier, when a whole family will carry their dinner three or four miles in tbe woods, and sit down among the bugs anH ims and snakes to eat it. They cull it a pic-nic. In New Zealand we'll soon be doing ditto, barring bugs, ants and snakes, plus mosquitoes, and tandllies and centipede*. Lobd Kilmoray has issued a circular to his tenants announcing that the letting of his farms will be thrown into the market to ace what they will fetch, as the only means of ascertaining if their letting value has been affected by the difficulties surrounding the agricultural interest. He trusts that the greater part of the old tenancies will be renewed, but where that should not be the case care will be taken that reasonable compensation is given for unexhausted improvements. Since the issue of the circular, notices to quit have been served, and none of the tenants have applied for a renewal of their tenancies. fFor remainder of News see Ist Pane.)
