THE THINKER.
I TinyK selling grog at six and seven shillings a bottle for which a m.vi pays five, and then gets fined £2-3 cannot pay very welL I also want to know what they do to the grog to improve it.
1 think the bridge •> approaches arc lovely, and Avell worthy of the councillor who is '■ boshing" the operations. Of course I allude to the venerable philan thropiht who inbppctb from the buggy drawn by the little black mare.
I think that if the Council arc not ruined with useless furniture, the above named venerable will manage it for them with the approaches, &c.
I thought the other day "wheu I saw Councillor Jones driving round the Borough in a atrr'utr/c inspecting the works with V , that if his grandmother could only have seen him "Oh, boys ! clear the road, don't you see our 1 potheen !' its a rale gintleraanhe is. Be goora New Zealand's a fine country, so it is.
I think the Council ought to pay Gwynneth and not dispute t his account. You know he has got an apprentice over the affair, and must have some premium with him, cv r en if it is paid by the Hamilton burgesses.
I thiuk that though the House would not give Moorhouse a golden medal, they ought to give Jimmy Stewart one as a free pass for ever, on account of his bringing all the stations along the line so close to the townships.
I think that the man who did away with the two wooden spans at the bridge and substituted earth, ought to be buried in the ruins. He would have a great and expensive tomb over his remains, paid foi by numerous sorrowing friends.
