WHERE IS TE RORE?
Sir, — A letter appears m your issue of Thursday last referring to a Te Rore ferry punt. As lam a stranger m these parts, 1 should like to ask one or two questions about this punt. In the first place, I want to know where Te Rore is —is it a town, or a village, or what ? Is it on a river ? It has a ferry, but then that may be only to cross a creek. What do they use the ferry for ? Just to get to the other side ? Where did they get the ferry from? Did they buy it, build it, or borrow it ? — or none of these things ? Do many people live there ? and do the ferry rates pay the punt-man better than the Hamilton one pays Ebenezer ? Your correspondent says Te Rore has a " lovely mountain, with crystal streams and sylvan slopes." Te Rore must be. like Heaven! Are all the residents angels? When one wants to pay a visit to a neighbour, he only has to clap his wings, give a quajk, and away he goes. It would be nice tp be a Te Rore angel, and drink from its <■ crystal streams," and browse on its "sylvan slopes. I .' Please teU me where Te Rore is.— l am, etc., Chahob fob Half-a-Cbowk.
