ENTRE NOUS.

— The fastidious parishioner honored S. Peter's Church with his presence on Sunday morning. *** — The Lord will mark the condescension.

— The approach to the Hamilton Bridge on the West side is a charming sea of slush.

- Peacock says the Engineers— the whole b oiling lot — should be hove into the river.

— How very becoming Jerseys are !

— "Bread and butter misses," who persist m giggling in church should be ejected by Mr Mahon. ***

— More especially if they be members of Hamilton's HupperTen.

— Yes ; the Lance's correspondent is right : the music will be truly classical, the refreshments very light, and the "conversation" consist of the most pious scandal.

- Any one knowing the presiding genius, may safely vouch for the nature of the "conversation," (save the mark) !

— The bent of a mind nurtured on Miss Edpre worth's novels is eminently charitable and Christian. — Oela va &ant> dire !

— Edgar,— l mean Edgar of Edgar v. Montrose, writes to mo stating that they have a cuiious way of deciding law-suits in North Sidra.

— Both parties are put under cold water, and the one staying the longest wins the suit.

— He says lie must, under such an arrangement, have won the case, as Monty hates cold water (alone) and never tubs.

— We, of New Zealand, do just the contrary to tho North Siamese. In this country both parties to a law-suit are thrust into hot water, and then kept there as long as possible.

— Some people in Hamilton, whom it might profit to acquire a little kindliness of disposition, have been cruelly kicking certain persons, who, not being so strong as themselves, have fallen in the race and lie prostrate.

— I need not particularise. Such poor conduct will be easily marked.

— Are the people of S. Andrew's Church in want of an ornament for their steeple top I wonder.

— If so, I could recommend a certain little animal, a cross between a bramapootra and a chimpanzee, who, if stuffed (and this would entail choking first — how jolly), would make a pretty weathercock.

— Besides which, ho would have the satisfaction of knowing that however low his soul must sink, his body would at least be nigher heaven than ever boul or bodywere before.

— I am glad to see that however certain residents of Cambridge may differ from each other in regard to such matters as the Town Districts Bill, they arc as one concerning the railway.

— They may be assured that nothing but a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all togithcr will obtain for them all they want.

—Is it true that a Hamilton gentleman, tall but of slender proportions, telegraphed to Ngaruawahia the othei day to stop the train as he was on the road to catch it ?

— Only that I know of other similar little feats, I should certainly refube credit to this.

— I .mi in receipt of whole baskets full of " contiibutions" to my column,

— Some of which are scurrilous, some maudlin, some undecipherable, and others which it were better were they undecipherable also— for their writer's sake.

— My dear correspondents ; I don't in tend to lot you, through my column, vent your miserable spleen upon those ot your neighbours with whom you are at variance.

— Because there is no longer a literary sewage pipe in Waikato, you must not suppose Jam going to accommodate you. *** — ■ Bye bye !

— The clear Old Woman of Wyiulhamstreet has a marvellous faculty for obtaining the latest news.

— The dear old thing yesterday published news under date London, June 31 !

— The person who "does" the '• Waikato News'' for the Heraldstill vindictively follows Dr. Beale, though his malice is less potent than it once was.

— Witness the poor insult contained in Thursday's issue where he states that the name of "Barnard Charles Beale has been struck off the commission for the management of the Bridge Sinking Fund, and that of Mr ST. R. Cox substituted for it."

— What pusillanimous spite to be sure !

— Mine Uncle has entirely deserted his Hamilton friends and gone back to his old love on the banks of the Mangaone.

— May his bonedust never grow leas.

— However, he did it, there is'nt a better or greener paddock than John's corner in Waikato. Pauvbb Dublb.
