THAMES.

Dick evidently had the pick of the girls on Tuesday night.

Bob said it wasn't good enough to let Alicestay at the last dance.

George, of the Army, and the long Hallelujah Lass ought not to be seen going to Parawai so> often.

The girls say it was too bad of little Tommy of Shortland to only dance with Mr 3 S. What did Jim say ?

Messers B. and C, two well-known tradespeopleof this town, were made the victims of a hoax theother night by another tradesman (Mr D.) who complained to Messrs B. and 0. that every dark night a ferocious wild boar visited his garden, to the terror of his family and the destruction of his vegetables, begging them to rid him of! his terrible visitor. The valiant three immpriinJLv tely proceeded to the scene of action, but no^P liking to face the enemy in the dark, scaled an* > old outhouse, and from this point of 'vantage the bold Air B. opened fire on what he thought wasthe enemy. After firing three shots, and all being still, they all three cautiously advanced on the fallen foe — when, what must have been their chagrin to find they had put three, balls into an old carpenter's bench.
