Harper, late of Auckland, lias been recommended for the list of probationers. Mr. Thomas was subject to the usual examination, having been three .years on probation. His examination papers wore considered satisfactory, and a course of study was presented for him for the ensuing year. With reference to a separate conference for New Zealand, it was unanimously agreed, after careful consideration, to ask the Australian conference to constitute the >'ew Zealand circuits into a conference. It will be seen that the district meeting which/ has just sat in this town, have come toi/i opposite conclusion.

/. Cosgravc and Co. beg to inform, m t public that tliere is an entire revolution L dress, also in the prices of goods. It is neces' sartj it should be so, as Auckland m not in the flourishing position it was twelve months, ago j it is like all goldfield cities, suffering undw a recovery, the working classes are more nu~. onerous and money less plentiful. Therefore the prices of drapery and clothing must come doion to suit the times. The poptdatuon must have clothing suitable for an almost tropical summer. J. Cosgrave and Co. have met the crisis, they have broken down the monopoly of large profits that have reigned here for years past. They are determined the peopU shall be clad and that cheaply ; a great chance was offered lately, the stock of a large importer of drapery was in the market, a discount off English cost was given, and J. Cosgrave. and Co. became the -purchasers, hence our extensive and valuable sale of drapery takes place Thin Day. — [Advt.^\
