Ihe I'rdihiliunid has a gentle reference to Ministers in its last issue.

A small clforl was made to celebrate (heath of November last evening. A considerable quantity of dry gorsc was stacked on Ihe river bed, iiud this was selected for a bonfire.

Then a constable with a.switch told the boys lo go home, aud the lads laughed alhim and ran before him over a ireachcrous swamp. The ollicerof the law followed, got wet and went home himself, and the people generally had a good time as long as the gorse burnt.

Although the Hessian Jly has prevented farmers in the Wairarapa from growing wheat to any extent during the present season, it is evident that a large area of hind is under grain crops seems that one firm (Ihe Massey-Harris Co.) sold during Showwcok no less than five of their binders.
