This proves the truth ' of tho old saying that" Good wine uccds no bush," as Cooper's dip has by ils s unrivalled excellence achieved such a c reputation that no " pulling " is required to extol its virtuos. Cooper's Dip now penetrates iuto every known quarter of '' the globe, mid the gigantic quantities iu '1 which the article is turned out from the II manufactory,would surprise our readers if we were to lay the figures before y them. It seems astonishing that such c an enormous trade should be derived from such a commodity, but this only 1 shows how careful Hock-owners are now c to do all in their power to improvo the o fpmlity of their wool, aud Cooper's dip is undoubtedly J'mik jiriimps in this ii respect, s The .licv, A. C. Yorke, referred last o evening to the approaching lessons lie ,f would be enabled to give in the Public School, through the kindness of the School Committee. The first will be given on Wednesday next, for half an hour only, from a quarter to four to a quarter past four, and thereafter on every Wednesday afternoon. The rev, r gentleman said it was quite optional on a the part of both parents and children, o whether the latter attended, but he hoped to see a large assemblage, as the . lessons which he hoped to teach would c he useful in after-life, and would be someiyhat different from the usual Sunday School work. ' Fish are plentiful mid anglers Jiavc f had up to the present, fairly good sport ' m the Bush rivers, Mr Tosswjll heads 11 the list for the Woodvillo-Pahiatua district, having caught 123 fish.

Sportsmen in tho Busii, as well as in Masterton, complain of the amount of poaching that is carried on, both in the rivers aud iuthcbusli. Near Ekctahuna the other day one individual had twenty pigeons in his possession, and it is an open secret that fish arc being taken every day, aud even at this early season ducks are not left aloue.

Tlie following extract from the letter of a New Zcalandcr in the Golden West may be of juterest. " 10th January 18115 —Stop where you arc. I would sooner fake a pound a wcok in New Zealand that ten hero, You canuot understand the privations we Undergo, aud up to the present, although we hope on, at a loss instead of gain. J— has left with a party prospecting further out, and as they arc all experienced men (tbo only good plan), and hard as nails, they may strike it. Old friend M— was one of the many victims of fever. There arc heaps of them, His constitution carried uim through but the awlul muck they sell Ss spirits kept him back until we got hold of some "Walker" and that made a difference. If you come over in spite of my advice lake a through ticket to Frcemantle."

The long-looked.for entertainment by the Mauriceville Minstrels, iu aid of the young man Thrupp, who is now in the Masterton Hospital, took place 0u Saturday evening last at Cottiss' Hall, over 180 visitors attending. All the items were well received, the piano music being supplied by Mr L, Cameron. The Secretary, Mrli. Petersen, deserves special mention for his efforts, as not only did he take a large share in organising the affair, but also contributed same excellent songs. The following programme was gjyen:-" Meet me at the Golden Gate," the company; song, "The Silver lihiue," Mr Cottiss; song, "The Bogie Man," MrW. Croxton; song, " Sailing Merrily Home," Mr G. Tillclson; song, "Tho Pardon Came too late," Mr E. Petersen; song, " Something Went Wrong with the Works," Mr Sam Clark; song, " When the Pilot takes Command," Mr Cottiss;" Golden Slippers," the company; song, "I Picked it Up," Mr Croxton; song, " That Lesson I Learnt at Mother's Knee," Mr C. Brooks;" song, " The Suicide Family," Mr Sam Clark; song, "RosesUnderiif'Hi HloSiiow," MrR, Petersen; song, "Doar Eli;;," MrG. Tilletson, Mr Tilletson also gave a comic song iu character, tho entertainmoufc concluding with the farce," Handy Andy." Altogether the affair w« a great success and does credit to 'the promoters.

Complaints arc being mado by people who visit the Park on Sunday, of the crowds of boys who congregato under the trees playing cards, It is quito a usual sight to see a dozen of so parties camped under trees with cards in their hands. This growing evil should certainly ho put a stop to, and lads referred to should tako warning. The Borough of G-reytown is said to be feeling very sick over the Saturday half-holiday. Business at one o'clock folds up its tent like the Arab, and flies away towards Featherston, Carterton and Masterton. The not unnatural consequence is that the shopkeepers are looking down their noses, rents are on the decline, shop assistants are being reduced in numbers and wages, and the Borough Council, which put up the Saturday shutters in tlio interests of cricket, football, and other pastimes, is being emphatically prayed for by the wholo community.
