Sib,— Your Ngaruawahiar correspondent's obscure and incomprehensibl effusion has excited much surprise here. Was he suffering from the effects of sour bread,, disaffected library, people, Dog Nuisance Act, or an undigested dose of Lindley Murray. Why should "a gaol abolished" have prisoners ? Why should not any person be allowed to go to the railway station to get his newspapers ? Is your correspondent's bile raised, that the Hospital should be .furnished for the service of worthy officials, or has he, m former times, infringed the law* and has the arguseyed officer sat upon him. Hoping that, at your earliest opportunity, you will publish a translation of your rabid correspondent's letter. — I am, &c, Maori. Kopua, May 12, 1879.
