DAIRY FLAT.

Em — thinks the piebald is not to be wiped out for Sundays.

What on earth brings Ghis at such a quick pace along the flat road of an evening ? The goat will hardly stand it any longer.

• . Mar — thinks his name is sufficiently established to use more of the aqua jpura. It won't do, Jimmy ; most of us know a good drop of rum.

Charlie says no more Mahurangi trips for him. It was too much working his passage there and back on one of the Junction " rooks."

If that; young gent, from Long Bay would pdrase a ball-room guide, or some other little work on etiquette, it would be greatly to his benefit.

The young ladies of this district gave an evening party the other day, which came off very successfully, as all parties were determined to make a pleasant evening of it ; and as the schoolhouse would not be granted for the occasion, the old Black House suited admirably. During the night there was some first-class singing. It would be a matter of injustice were an omission made of Mr W. Griffiths, who kindly officiated as pot-boiler, in which capacity he excells. What was stranger still, he even went so far as to purchase a new shirt for the occasion. The next time he attempts a polka, one of the ladies would remind him that stocking feet are preferable to watertight boots. I was nearly giving my opinion as to the belle of the ball, but, on second consideration, I have top much regard for my wool ; therefore, I think it safest to place four of them for honours, namely, Miss Dodd, MissFoley, Miss Parker, and. Miss Kretchmer, as they looked charming. Everybody ,went home highly pleased.
