Shops were shut aTid-the' citizens met and banquettes' to celebrate the event. Of course they won't own up to it now; hut it is a fact nevertheless, I have been shown a Wakatipu Mail of an early date, in which it is that the rabbits turned out in the Lake regions had been bsou at Bob Gove, and all persons are solemnly cautioned by the -.. editor not to go near the place with dogs, lest they should interfere with the breed" ingot the lovely rabbits I We hear on all sides that owing to splendid burns that have taken place in and adjacent to tho Masterton district, o large area of land will be laid down in gross this season, This is indeed good news, for of late tettlers have had particularly hard luck in their burns and now the tide has turned we hope that a fresh impetus will be given to the development of the splendid country in our diatrict.

As the Kermadec Islands belong to hew Zealand, and are visited by the' Government steamer every year, the following clipping from the Irish Timer* will show what strange things find their way into the Home papers i-Captaifl Fairchild, of an English vessel, recently landed on Sunday Island, one of tho Kermadec Group in the South Sea, and eupposed to be inhabitable. He was but* prised to find a countryman, William Bell, living there with his three daughters, four sons, and a Scotch ex-school-master. The daughters were grownup young women, but had not seen an unfamiliar face since babyhood. They wore male attire, but, through the effort* of the Scotohman, were highly educated, and, says the captain, very beautiful. It was some time before they could be induced to remain in the presence of the strangers, but in a day or ttf Jtoir shy. ness disappeared,' 1 '■l9 Every man has a dnty to 'performs Sometimes it is a pleasing duty, sometimes otherwise When it is a duty to pay a long standing butcher's account, or to pay a bill you backed for a friend " justto obliee him," or when it is aduty to receive a visit from your mother-in-law, these are painful duties. And when . our fatherly Government decide to put a duty on everything, and whon a Par* liamentary majority consider it a duty they owe to their country, and the electors thoy represent (or misrepresent as the case may be), to ratify and legalise suoh duties, why then it becomes a duty for the pub'io of Masterton in paitioular and the WaWaua in general to smilingly pay such duties and quietly grin & betr it. They have, however, one duty to perform and that is to buy Drapery and Olothing at the Bon Marche, the cheapest end host house in Masterton for anything of the sort. The whole duty ot mun is to do the best he can. for himself.
