A meeting of those interested in the game of Cricket will be held this evening, at Barnes’ Hotel, at 8 p.m., to arrange for the coming season. We hope there will be a good attendance.

As a rule Spring Tlace Meetings are very successful, and if one may judge by the large field of horses entered for the principal events in the Alexandra programme, the Spring Meetings of 1876 will be no exception. The season opens with the Alexandra Meeting, on Tuesday next, tho 26th inst; to be folloived by Clyde, on Friday the 29bh'inst. Our Cromwell friends hold their meet on the next Friday, October 6 th. Taking into consideration the present state of the Goldfields, we have caused a series of articles to'be written touching on the subjects of our productive, distributive, and speculative industries, the first of which appears in this issue of our newspaper, under the heading of Social Philosophy No. 1. '1 he matters touched upon by the writer, we feel assured will be. interesting to our readers, and should any of them be kind enough to furnish us with their views upon the subjects referred to, we shall be glad to insert their communications.

Goldsborongh’s Monthly Wool Circular for September notes that, by late London telegrams there has been a recovery towards the termination of the sales of Id to 2d per lb on the extreme fall; it further says— Even after this there is a reduction of 20 to 30 per cent on last year’s rates, and looking at the present unsatisfactory result of manufacturing operations, and the general depression which appears to pervade nearly all branches of industry there seems but little chance of any further improvement for some time to come, more especially with such heavy supplies pressing on the market. The total number of bales shipped from Melbourne, from October Ist to date 306,719.

A man offering for sale a liquid in two ounce phials, at 5s each, paid a flying visit during the past week, and succeeded in capturing a good many dupes. The liquid was reputed to replenish the silver plating on ware wdiore -the silver has been worn off. Where the stuff has been used it has proved to be pure rubbish, and instead of adding to'the silver of the discomfited purchasers, it has had the effect of reducing the stock in hand by exactly 5s per bottle. The Christchurch correspondent of the Witness speaks of the fellow having been in that direction., If the fellow does not bring himself within the pale of the law, we think the authorities would bo warranter! in giving him a gentle hint to make himself scarce.

Advice to MoTtiEEs'h-Are yon broken in your rest by a sick child suffering -with the pain of cutting teeth ? Go at once 'to a chemist and get a bottle of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless and pleasant •to taste, it produces natural quiet sleep, by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes “ as bright as a button.” It soothes the child, it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the 'bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentery and diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Mrs Winslow’s Soothing Syrup is sold by Medicine dealers everywhere at Is IJd per bottle. Manufactured at 493 Oxford Street, London. A rich old farmer at Crowlc, near Bawtry, speaking to a neighbor about the “ lamin’” of his nephew, said —“ Why, a shude a made Tom a lawyer, I tlnnk, but a took such a good hand to hold a plough that ci thought ’twero a pity to spoil ngoodploughboy.”

Our correspondent from Mucotown writes that the Homew'Ard Bound Company are upon better stone 'than ever. They will commence tho improvements to their machinery in a few days, and hope to have 200 tons of stono ready grassed to commence crushing with, width will bo in about a month or five weeks ; tho roads will not be available until that time, owing to tho ex- ’ cossive flow of water from the molting snow. Tho All Nations’ Company have started with two shifts of men, and are pushing on their tunnel towards the Marlborough Company’s boundary ; the gold is Well distributed right through tho roof, and you cannot take up a piece as big as a walnut without the precious metal being plainly visible ; this, the “ cross reef,” is. without a doubt, the finest discovery made in New Zealand. The Marlborough Company are preparing a place as a depot to receive their machinery and stores at Macetown, so as to form a basis of operations pending the reluctant snail-like operations of the Provincial Government to construct a track up the bed of tho Twelve-mile Creek to Sawyer’s Gully. As soon ■as this track is available even for pack horses, there will be a considerable impetus to mining operations. As things are at present the site of the Homeward Bound Company’s machine, about half-way up, is the furthest point reachable, except on foot. All the tracks are now in a very bad state ; even from the Arrow tlie packers will only take very light loads.

Holloway’s Pills and Ointment. —With the changirfg season it is prudent for all to rectify any ailment afflicting them ; hut it is incumbent on the aged, suffering under ulcerations and similar debilitating causes, to have them removed, or worse consequences will follow, This Ointment is their remedy ; on its powers all may confidently rely; it not simply puts their sores out of sight, but extirpates the mischief, extracts the corroding'poison, and stimulates nature to fill up the ulcer with sound, healthy granulations, that will abide'through life. Under this treatment bad legs soon become scorbutic skins cast oil their scales, and scrofulous sores cease to annoy. Such hope for the 'diseased was unknown in former days.

Throat Affections and Hoarseness.— All suffering from irritation of 'the throat and hoarseness will be agreeably surprised at the almost immediate relief afforded by the use of “Brown's Bronchial Troches.” These famous “lozenges” are now,sold by most respectable chemists in this country at Is T.jd per box. People troubled with a “ hacking cough,” a “slight cold,” or bronchial affections, cannot try them too soon, as similar troubles, if allowed to progress, result in serious Pulmonary and Asthmatic affections. See that the words “Brown’s Bronchial Troches ” are on the Government Stamp around each box. —Manufactured by John T. Brown & Sons, Boston, United States. Depot, 493 Oxford-street, London
