A correspondent asks whether the

We refer the question to Mr Joseph
Marsden who introduced the
goose here His mongoose did pos
sibly what others did and fell in
love with the female aborigines and
made connections contrary to rules
We expect Mr Marsden to arise and
explain whether there is any found

I did it aud the ratB did the rest
I followed the instructions of tho
Sanitary Committee of defunct citt
zotiB and I placed the boxes tho In
speotor left with me in tho propor
place
Two were set in tho cellar aud 2
old tins filled with water iced wore
placed near them because tho
committee claimed that
after tho rats oat Benson Smiths
poison they drink water and die
They didnt I mean the rats
Two boxes wore left in my deep
cellar which is usually full of rats
and which dates back to the days of
the early missionaries
I placed two other boxes filled
with the pomade looking material
that B S Co are making a little
fortuue of out of the surplus in
4 Iih altio of my house and following
aniu the Thurston Ballnu instruc
tions I placed more tins filled with
water in the vicinity
The Inspector aud I smiled and
I tied up iny terrier which is a rat
ter of some merit locked up the
chickens sent the children to bed
and awaited results
I read the afternoon papers and
took a snooze I made a few calls
in the neighborhood aud felt tired
and then firmly decided to leave the
rats to their fate as designated by
the Thurston Ballou committee
This morning at 6 oclock the old
clock in the Kawaiahao church was
striking I went down the cellar
armed with a long handled shovel
and a lantern Where was my poi
son Every ounce of it was eaten
and outside the boleB of the rats
were the empty blocks part of them
chewed up as if the rats had been
extraordinarily hungry
Up in the attic the situation was
not quite as bad There the poi
son had been devoured but the
boxeB were saved I informed the
kind inspector who gave me the
official poison of my experience
and ho asked me whether I had
placed any meat along with the poi
son and I answered that even the
Citizens Sanitary Committee could
not compel me to keep a table
dhote for rats
What is left of the boxes and the
rats are at your disposal Mr Editor
my terrier is on duty again
