We hear, that a lively scene occurred yesterday between Mr W. W, McCardle and a prominent Good Templar. The candidate for the temperance party threatened to make it warm for this Good Templar if ho dared to say that he (Mr McCardle) had shouted during tho election for electors. The candidate some-, what collapsed, however, when a worthy tradesman offered to give his testimony to the fact that this particular candidato had indulged in a big shout for electors when on his up-country tonr. Of course there is no great harm in any candidate enjoying a social glass with his friends. Wn do not 'blame McCardle for this, His only failing has been a mistake lie made in •'posing" as a Good Templar champion in Mastertou. He had better, before it is too late, denounce Blue Ribbonismy and secure the vote of the Licensed Victualler and Brewing interests.

Our Carterton coutempory in its report of the South Wairarapa nomination says: —A scene then took place which probably has not had its equal in New Zealand. The Returning Officer called for a show of hands for Mr Buchanan and then for Mr Bunny. There was an evident preponderance in favor of the former gentleman, but the Returning Officer declared the show of hands to be in favor of Mr Bunny, without even s'aling the number of hands held up for each candidate. When the declaration was made, its ridiculous opposition to what was really the case was so manifest that amid loud and derisive laughter and angry yells the crowd proceeded to divide one side for Mr Buchanan and the other for Mr Bunny, The supporters of the latter gentleman, however, perceiving that the figures would go incontestahly against them at once mixed up the sides, and eventually a poll was demanded, and Mr Buchanan moved a vole of thanks to the Returning Officer, and Mr Bunny seconded it, by which the proceedings ■ were brought to a close, Good BHSOnmoNS.-At tho commencement of every now year hundreds and thousands of our young men—and old as well-form resolutions for their guidance for the coming year.

One morning he moved the nest with the four little birds to a neighboring coal>stack live yards off, iioth parent birds watched the proceedings with evident' anxiety, The nest was carefully lodged in its new home, and in a short time the old birds found it and took to it and went on feeding the young oues as before.
