(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) A great number of people are led away with the foolish idea that the Nevis, at all seasons of tho year is a col I miserable isolated spot. To those persons who entertain such an idea of the Nevis climate, I can only say that they missed a very great treat not being present'at theirannual Race meeting of 1873. There wassplendid weather during the meeting, andrimexceptional good racing, The course is two and a half miles from the township, situate on a piece of fine fia' land, at the foot of a bald hill, which acts admirably well as a grand-stand The attendance was large and very orderly throughout the meeting. Mr. D. Scally, of the Shamrock-hotel, had the booth, and I do assure you, supplied the wants and cravings of the inner man right cheorly. Tho renowned Sargeant, to the surprise of almost every person present, did not figure amongst the crowd, and 1 do assure him his absence from the Nevis Race-meet-ing, has made him more popular and respected iu that district. Hurry Scurry of 5 sovs. One mile. Mr. Newton’s Pill Box ... ... 1 Five horses started. Pill Box had it all his own way, tho others being out-paced. A considerable amount of dissatisfaction was expressed at the owner of Pill Box running him in the race. Publicans’ Handicap of 10 sova. Weight for ago.

The market value is about 41. per hogshead Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.— On medicine-chcst of families should be unprovided with these twin curat ves. They are more eminently adapted to tho internal and external failings of the human orginization than any two medicines that lave yet been discovered. They both attack the seat of disease, and not only temporarily remove, but permanently eradicate; the Ointment is wonderful in the cure of old sores, wrunds, ulcers, and scorbutic humors.
