BRIDGE, Auctioneer, A VALUABLE DISCOVERY HAS just been made, and one likely to cause quite a revolution in the future welfare of the people of Akaroa, and add materially to their comfort, and in some measure make amends for the failure of the Akaroa Railway Bil). We live as it were isolated from the rest of the world, and are debarred from enjoying many of the pleasures and privileges which are common to them ; therefore any discovery calculated to improve the minds of the people, or add in any way to the instruction or amusement of the young, no matter by whom the discovery is made, it is the duty of that individual to make it known without a moment's delay. Be it therefore known to the inhabitants of Akaroa and the surrounding districts, that the undersigned lias just discovered that he is enabled to olVer them a 141b Tin of Red or White Lead for the remarkably small sum of 5s Gd. A'so, that it is of the utmost importance that his largo and miscellaneous stock of useful and ornamental goods should be cleared out as quick as possible ; for it is a well-known fact that when some classes of goods are kept too long on the shelves, they (like ourselves) get faded, and consequently deteriorated in value. JUST ARRIVED, a really nice assortment of Spectacles. J.S.—A great reduction in the price of Wedding Rings. H. BILLENS, Economy House.
