THE FIRST PLOUGH.
AN INTERESTING MEMENTO.
The editor of the Wairarapa Age lias received from Mr William Barton, of Feaitherstoii, a photograph of an extract from the diary of his grandfather, who arrived in New in 1816. The' extract is as follows: "On the morning of Wednesday, ' the 3rd of May, 182Q, an agricultural plough was for the first time put into th© land, of New Zealand at Kiddi Kiddi, and I felt much pleasure in holding it, aftter a team of six bullocks brought down by the Dromedary. < I trust that "this auspicious day will he remembered with gratitude, and its anniversary kept by ages yet umborn."
