MISCELLANEOUS.
♦ The question of forming a HumaneSociety for New Zealand, or of establishing a Colonial branch of the Royal Humane Society of Great Britain, cropped up says the Wellington Post, at the Harbor Board on Thursday afternoon, the Auckland Board having forwarded a communication on the subject The letter pointed out that there was no provision in the Colony for the proper recognition of persona who saved human life, and unless the whole circumstances of the case were sent Home within a limited time, no notice was taken of it by the British Seciety. Mr Levin thought every gentleman present, irrespective of the Board, would be willing to support such an object New Zealand was quite able to have a society of its own. Mr Nathan sympathised with the letter, but did not think New Zealand should be a branch of the Society. Ultimately the Chairman, the Mayor, Captain Rose, and Mr Levin were appointed a Committee to report on the subject Many famous horses have had their stable cats, and the great, amiable Forhall, has adopted a couple of kittens, if it would not be more correct to say that they have adopted him. A pretty little white and a tabby, own brothers, live in Foxhall's box, and when Hatcher, his friend and attendant, has done the horse down and put on his clothing, he takes up the kittens from the corner of the box where they have have been waiting and gently throws them on Foxhall's back. They are quite accustomed to the process, and, catching hold, soon settle down and then curl themselves up into little fluffy balls to their own general satisfaction and to the good horse's likewise, to judge from the way in which he turns and watches the operation. A sad accident happened the other clay. The kittens were playing about Foxhall's heels and he trod on one of their tails, but pussy quite understood that it was the purese mischance, and, though he is a bit cautions as he moves about his box, does not bear him the least ill will. — Bui 1. tin-
