ECHOES FROM TE A WAMUTU.
The last riddle hereabouts — Why is the burglarious engineer of Hamilton like the gentleman who said unto his brother Rac,a? Answer: Because he is in danger of the Council. Alas ! poor T. Gr. S. A few dajs since, in Bank-street, Te Awamutu, I picked up a document addressed to one of our " local worthies " by his employers. It contained a recommendation to him to attend more closely to the interests of his masters, and also to refrain from intermeddling with Te Awamutu politics. This doubtless accounts for his unwonted quiescence of late. Several of our local spinsters have called at the Post-ofibe to enquire the Registrar's charges for marriage fees. I suppose '* Leap - year " must be their excuse. I hear from a trooper that the corp<? has lost one of its brightest ornaments, "who is beloved by all, and who was prevented by urgent private business from serving his Queen on the Thames campaign The Government road from the station has been carefully worked up into a state of permanent " slush." Te Awamutu was noted for its " mud " of varioas descriptions even before this highway received its recent " tinkering." Kiwi.
