CARTERTON.
(From our own Correspondent.) 13th June, 1879. Your "printer's devil" is a veritable Asmodeus. According, as my last communication was reported, Pickwick was no doubt " somewhat "—in fact, I may say he was " very much " in his cart, only I happened to write he was "somnolent." Then the punctuation for the volunteers was a very "halting" affair; while tho meeting of creditors had payment of their liabilities secured in full, the total liabilities being under £2OO, not as your little bottle imp put it up, "secured liabilities under £200." The meeting of the Public Hall Directors was adjourned till Monday next, as information from town required to be laid before the meeting had not arrived. Speedy [JusUl ui'i'imtjoincillS fITG & blCSSing! . Take this as a sample. Not a I hundred miles from theWairarapa, a letter I was posted in the first week of January la.it. It had to travel nine hundred miles, and actually reached its destination the end of last week.
Tliings are pretty quiet here, but, on the whole, black Wednesday, the 4th inst., has not proved such a bete noir as was anticipated.
