A correspondent writes to say that be does not Wink much of the discovcjy of the'soda-water spring at Wangsnui, which was the subject of a paragraph in our Tuesday's issue. Soda-water is commonplace onoueh, a\.»d, remarks this criticiser of bounti f ul Nature, is hardly worth makiug so umc>i fuBS about. Now it it had been a brandy spring or a whisky spring, that wou'd have been an altogether different matter, and people could be trusted to Ik'd the requisite "soda 1 ' themselves. Somehow, pathetically adds tho writer, there's always pupeifluity of the'ohefper liquid. Herein Masterton,for instance, two publio pumps are each to supply water, and if a man's at all particular he may die of thirst, before ho can get a freodrink which is worth living for. We venture to say that whatever is the weather, fair or foul, the Hunt dance at Greytown to-morrow night will be tho ball of tho season, and has every chauco of.beins the biggest and best thing of its kiud yet held in the Wairarapa. Many are going from Masterton, and if report bo true lew there are who at all care for such fascinating reoroations who will be absent whon the evontful evening arrives.

Professor Valentine Walker it, we understand, doing good business in Mas. terton, and tbo fact of his having located himself in n somewhat retired street, facilitates the visits of tho more timid mombors of the gentler sex, who wish to gratify thoir curiosity by consulting the oracle regarding the misty inture. Consultations with Professor Walker are absolutely confidential, and as he occupies private apartments at Mrs Young's, Holly House, DiMii-street, and as the enquiries it callers are answered by his Otra attendant, every adjunct of a pleasaut visit is secured. Wemight mention Jhat Mrs Walker is accompanying Professor Walker on h's trip through New Zealand,

"A commonplace, miserable, hum'drum Conservative statement, wiuhntihing in it; a whited sepulchre stuffed with prothißea that can never become performances ; a compilation tilled with reminiscences of Martin Tupper'a philosophy and Ben Richards' almanac." It is in this way that the member for the Hutt hits otf the Financial statement.
