My Weekly Dose.

(By the Doctor)

" Medians nihil alind est guam animi consolatio."

Apropos of this, Wiltshire walked 1000 miles in 1000 hours, but lost £30 out of pocket in cash, and 2st. 4lbs. in weight < flesh. Nothiug daunted, he is going to walk 1000 more miles in 100 d hours. It strikes me if Wiltshire keeps on walking and losing at the same rate he'll end by filing his s .hedulc ; but then his creditors will not have anyone to prove their debts against, for he will have walked himself into thin air.

P.S. I should'nt have thought of relating this story had I not read the famous Bom bardment Despatches, and Mr. Dargaville's letter.

John Brown is an intimate friend of John Smith, and their Avivcs occasionally discuss domestic politics over their Bohca. They met the other day in the ordinary course of business. Mrs B. said Brown had bought a locking horse for dear little Tommy. Mrs S. said Smith had imported a real Clydes dale entire from Australia. Mrs I>. peered grimly over her tea-cup, and changed the conversation. When Brown came home she told him all about it, and wondered how the Smiths could cut such a dash, and Smith only a few months ago a stableman in Quick's. Next day Brown, who is an Inspector under the " Importation of Cattle Act," went and laid an information against Smith for having evaded payment of In s2>ection fees. Mrs Brown says she always thought the Smiths were living a little too fast.

ANOTHER NATIVE LAND SQUAB BLE.

Intelligence from Paeroa up to Wednes day last contains p nticnlars of another native squabble there, »•■:: -p by a party of obstructionists to the survey of the NYaitine west block, lately purchased for the Govern ment by Mr. Mackay. Te Whikeriwlii had pointed out the boundaries to Mr. Mackay, and the surveyors had commenced work, when an armed party of Mataia's people, the Ngatihako, came down and threatened to drive them off, on the ground that they were encroaching upon land not comprised in the purchase. Messrs. McCartie and Cashell at once communicated with Mr. Mackay, who, in company with Mr. O. O'Halloran, -went tip armed with revolver-., .ml found two armed natives stationed on the ground. Other natives came down, and there was a good deal of discussion in which the Maoris used many botmcible threats, winding up, by firing a volley over the heads of the Europeans. Mr. Mackay, nothing daunted,, remained on the ground, and told the natives that if they had any grievance in connection with the boundaries of the land, the matter would be fully inquired into, but-the survey should not be interrupted by force. Old Turakino, formerly a notorious Han Hau, sided with Mr. .Mackay, and it was agreed that the survey should proceed, subject to future enquiry.

We have received the following singular letter :—" Mr. Editor, —Will you favor me by inserting the following in. your wide spread Star, (which bye the bye, often ■gives light, in the morning.) Will Ihe friends of the missing Sam Wells, late House Agent <£_c., of .Auckland, undertake to urge his re turni and then rally round him, to encour age him to do his best with, their assistance, to pay all his creditors, and thus wipe out a stain of which there are too many in Auck land already. Ly doing so, he would appease the auger of his enemies, the grief of his friends and relatives, and the remorse in his own breast, .which, to say the least, will undermine his constitution and bring a lasting reproach on the Christian name. In conclusion, I have only to add, "says the undersigned," if the said Samuel Wells can be induced to return a friend will at once be found, as a bona fide surety, logo to prison, till the affairs of S. W. are satisfactorily settled.— N. B. The writer witholds his 'name and address until he sees the result of this apparently strange offer.—Yours, Well-kxoavx.
