CAMBRIDGE CORRESPONDENCE ON THE BRAIN.

ifsßroro*,— l heard there, was an opening for me now, as ear Cambridge oorreepondo it hM oaught the plagae that ia raging in Ca nbridge. Mr Editor, I hare be*n away from ho ne trying to toll my little spot of land at Pukerimi, bat ai (he Governmeat ia not going to build the bridge there every perion that I spoke to about baying my place told me the plague was the *, and the steamer stopped running to Cambridge, and the Editor of the " Buiter" had tapusd all •orrespondeuce that oanio from there. Now, iir, please let me know if that is true. Oar Bidd / will not believe one word of it, for she says that j this country is the same as old Ireland— we hare no scorpion! here, and 8t Patriok must hare been here, though the Maoris hare no reoord of his Tisit. Therefore, it is a blessed country, an has no diseases in it, barring the one that she has —and it waa brought on her by reading a dam > "Bnster." She says it is called Neuralgia Pscialie, and nothiag gires her relief bat a drop of good whiskey. When I went away from home we had a caie of whiskey in the home, and when I returned I found fault with her for drinking it all. She said she would not be so mean as to drink a cats— she only took a nobbier at a time when she felt the fever coming on. Now, sir, what am Ito do ; the punt at Cambridge ia diseased too— it is sinking, and the puntman can't keep her afloat, and Biddy mast hire the whiskey that Bob sends to her fro*n Cambridge ; and when she gets a drop of it and the ferer leaves her, it would do your heart good to hear her sing Robin was a Revin* Boy. May be, tir, your Cambridge correspondent, when he gets better, will be able to let Biddy know if the Banskee was ever heard at Cambridge since the plague has been there. She would like to know ft it followed us out here\. She said ahe would like to see your Cambridge correspondent ; but she w#uld aot like to see him either, because he said in the " Buster" if ho got his bread, and a coat fbr his baok, that was all he eared for. She says The is as respiotably dressed aa the boarder waa that was uses coming out of tke burning hotel ia Wellington; he had oa » belltopper, dress coat, and Wellington boots. She hopes yoar Cambridge correspondent will pat on a shawl (not an aid woman's one) when be comes over the river to see her, She will let him see a crop of potatoes, the like of them was never seen ia the xountry— that grew with the rain that he was orosking about all this season.— Tours, Ac, iBXiAOK.
