We have received Nos. 1 and 6 of Truth, a small weekly published in Wellington. Mr Grigg, the proprietor, is an old Napier journalist, having been for some years one of the proprietors of the Herald, and afterwards sub-editor of the Telegraph.

It has an odd fashion of lumping dissimilar items together in the same paragraph. Judging from the advertising support it has secured, it appears to be a success.
