Mrs Creamer, of the Star Hotel, Masterton, is suffering at present from a new and serious phase of the absentee blight. A Wellington proprietor of an adjacent lot has caused the windows of her sitting room, dining room, and three other rooms to be Availed against, in front with iron, so as to exclude the light, and it is said that he threatens to do the same with the upper bedrooms, if the proprietor does not capitulate and come to terms about the purchase at a fancy price, of the adjacent land. In the meantime the boarders take their mea's under gaslight and devoutly offer up graces in which they profoundly pray that the excluder of daylight may be cut into utter darkness where there shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth of aworse nature than what goes bn at the Star IfoteE—Star.
