HHHE Proprietors of the Akahoa JL Mail have much pleasure in announcing that they have completed arrun^eu tents by which they will k> enabled to issue with that journal A Ci DPPLEME N T, containing Fourteen Column* of highly mt-Tcsting literary matter. The contributions will consist of Tales ('continuous mid complete), Essays, Articles ou Agriculture, Science, Household Matters, etc., not omitting Poetry and Humor. They have purchased the risrht to publish a New .Novel by Mr Marcus Clarke, author of " His Natural Life," entitled "THE MYSTERY OF MAJOR MOLINEUX." This story will he commence*.! in the j first of the Mail Supplements. i The " Mys&ery of Major Molineux " is a strange and weiivl production, evidently founded on ;i fact connected with the early his-twy of Tasmania. As r>. psycolog'icai study it approaches in subtlety to sn.mo, of the most successful ofibrts of the author of " Adam Eea.i:" while for intsnsifcj r of sustained interest and soul-thrilling excitement it is only surpassed by Edgar Allan Poe in " The Mystery of Marie. Rogot," and " The Murders in the Rue Morgue." r Ihafc the story is hosed mon a fact does not cloti*a3t from its interest, but rather lends iva air of vrcisemblancc to a story Avliich would otherwise be too appalling. It is an introspective study, a romaucc, a social drama— worthy of the suthor of " llh Natural Life," The Supplements v/ill be published weekly with the Friday'a issue of the Mail. The first publication will take place on FRIDAY, AUGUST 12. Orders from persons dosirous of becoming iiibscnber,; should he sent in at once.
