The Masterton Oddfellows' Lodge meets at the Empiro Hotel this evening, Mr T. H. Hill of Masterton, entered two horses, Mountain Deer, and Glaiks for thePalmeraton Baces, l>at did not, as ' he usually does, succeed ia pulling off an event, There was not a very great number of visitors to Masterton yesterday.

The bad boy in Court showed marvellous self possession, but when the whipping was mentioned it was as muoh as he could do to restrain himself from expressing emo» tions. The present population of the United States ie estimated at nearly 56,000,000. In the nationality of the immigrants Germany contributes the preponderance, having for sevoral years sent nearly onethird of the arrivals. England iB second, and Ireland third. " Imprimui" wrltos that things is bad all . through this colony (Now South Wale!), and here they are a confounded sight worse. At Bathurst one of the local papers mournfully observes, "We haven't as much water in the Macquarrie river now as would float a postage stamp." This is capped by the opposition editor, who still more pjteously howls, "Even if we had the water we couldn't raise the stamp." An Irishman, seeing the gas lighted shortly aftor his arrival in London, examined the fixture closely, went to a store and purchased one like it, threw up a good job and returned post haßte to Ireland. " An 1 why Uit ye're home bo soon I" enquired his mother. Shure, whist it is mother. It'B a iortune I've brought bebint me. Wait a bit an, I'll show ye." Pat accordingly proceeded to make a hole in the mud wall, and to fix the gas pipe therein. "In about the wasto of a minute yev eyes 'll be fit lo hang me hat on," he remarked to the wonderful family, as he struck a match and applied it "to the end of the pipe. Match after match burned away without producing the brilliant flame which Fat had seen in London. He sat down and Boratchedhis hoad in despair. "Sure," ho said," if it would only go as it went in London, I'd a mcdo no end of a fortune sellin' it." If ever I go into a new locality again I will study up my geography better thaml did this time for my ignoranie got me into a most uncomfortable position. As the boat neared Sanfurd, I was Btanding with others on the deck, when a very pretty young lady came up to me, and with a sweet smile on her face, looked into mine wi'h a pair of loving eyes, and said" Are you going to kiss me, sir?" If some one had offerod to lend me SI I could not have beon more surprised, and hardly knowing what to say, and in order to gain a little time, I gasped out, "Pardon, iniss, what did you aik?l felt that sho know 1 heard her, but she said sweetly, "Are you going to kiss, me to-night?" There was no misunderstanding hor this time. I heard her, and so did others, and 1 felt the blood rushing into my face, and I Btammered out, •' I would like to accommodate you, miss; I would truly, but I have a wife and also thirteen small children on board with me, and if my wife should see me kissing you ——." "Kissing me, you hateful old tiling! Who asked yon to kiss me?' j" You did I" I yelled, "you asked me twice 1" " You old fool; I asked you il you were going to Kissime—Kissime city to night, Don't yon know anything ?" and off she went, and if ever anybody felt meaner than I did I would like to exchange photographs with him.—Belfast Journal.
