An amusing story comes from the Wairarapa. The farriers of that Valley formed a union recently, but their new scale of change, did not suit the farmers of the district, who formed a company with the object of becoming their own village blacksmith, and saving money. A breach, wide as the poles asunder, ensued ; a labor difficulty of the worst kind loomed in the dim but pregnant future, and both aides sternly resolved that the right cause should triumph. The fsrm farriers required a manager, and advertised accordingly (as wise men invariably do). Twenty, six applications were received, and among them, strange to say, was one from the chairman of the Farriers’ Union. It is not anticipated that he will be unanimously elected,—HJß. Herald. *
