FEATHERSTON NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) | .., Friday, We have had a nice young man in our midst for some time, He seemed too good for this world. He was a Sunday School teacher and a shiniug light in his church and foremost in Band of Hope matters. He had even promised members of the Band prizes. By profession he was an artist —so he said, Others say so now, for he with his usual angelic movement he walked over the Riniutuka on Tuesday night without saying adieu to his many friends, He said he had been head stockman out on the coast, but it has since become public that he was. cowspanker at 10s a week. And on its coming to his adored one's ears, for lie had got a best girl, the ignominy of his position made him fly without taking even his portmanteau, and peoplo all ask whether he is a relation of " Mister 'Enery 'Awkins " for they would liko to send him their good wishes.
