Mr J. P. Armstrong notifies that to morrow evening (Saturday, 28th lilSt.) in tbo ' Town Hall, Clyde, ho will deliver a Lecture ' bn'his “Experiences in Australia’and New - Zealand.’’ Mr Armstrong—-by tho entire Press of tho country—is spoken of as "a highly humorous lecturer. As the proceeds i aW for tho benefit of tho poor, wo Shall hope ' to sco a rich muster. Mr Armstrong announces that ho leaves Clyde on Monday morning for Blacks, where ho will remain for afew'days. Mr Baker, of' Panorama fame, has kindly consented to give an entertainment at Tinker’s Gully, bn Friday, November 10th, in aid of tho Roman Catholic Chareh there. Such a piece of disinterestedness on the part of ono who may he looked upon as a stranger to tho district, deserves recognition, and the most acceptable form that it can take will be by greeting him with a bumper house. The entertainment will comprise a Panorama of Ireland, and a selection of Irish Melodics (Tom Moore’s) by Mr and Mrs Baker. We understand that Mr J; C. Chappie, Agent for the Blacks Flour Mill Company, and who has tho disposal of tho shares, so far has met with very general support. Tho establishing of a flour mill in the district is a honsummalion most heartily to be desired by every class, and we hope to hear that the attempt of the Blacks people will be crowned with success. A flour mill in the district means increased prosperity, in which one and all alike must participate, therefore one and all should join itsue in establishing it. The StarlVariety Troupe, consisting of J. E. Taylor, “ Chainniou Skater," Lillie, the “ Queen of Skates,” and other worldfamed individuals in the Negro Singing and Dancing line, announce EntertainVnenls to Morrow, Saturday the 28th instant in the Library Hall, Alexandra, and at Clyde in the Town tlall, on Monday next tbo 30th instant. From all that has been said and written of late about skating and rinking, and of Mr Taylor and Lillie specially, tneir entertainment is one worth visiting. A case of some interest to the mining community was heard before W. L. Simpson, Esq., Warden, on Tuesday last, at Blacks. The question at issue Was the right of one party to, by their workings, cut of! all moans of ingress and egress to a residence area occupied by another party of miners. Evidence at some length was taken, the. Warden, however, reserved judgment till ho had visited the ground in dispute. As the question is one seriously affecting the mining interest we will endeavor in a future issue to give the judgment. Oravecomplaints'are constantly reaching ns of the very dangerous state of many of the culverts that cross the water-races between Clyde bridge and Strode and Fraser’s station. As in the event of an accident happening to a’ny horse or vehicle through these culverts, the whole responsibility will fall on the owners of the waterrace. Wo would therefore suggest for their own sakes that they take immediate steps to place them in such repair as 'will preclude the possibility of an accident. Goldsborough's Monthly Wool Circular for October says : —'The’prinos realised during the month of September have been fully | in proportion to English quotations, greasy j having ranged from 61 to 8] 1, and scoured up to 17,|d per pound. Our English advices by the last mail confirm the news of the advanced rates which were realised towards the termination of the July an 1 August sales and the improvement on the reduction established mav be estimated at from Id to 2d per pound. Tho actual shipments of wool for tho year ending October I, 1876, were ; Victoria, 312,565 bales ; New South Wales. 133,494 ha'os ; Queensland, 33,493 bales. The returns for Tasmania and. Now Zealand have not yet reached us. /Ejlps, in the Australasian, says:—“A squatting supporter of an Upper House candidate took a great interest in a late election. He spared neither money nor trouble. His men and his horses were on the day of election employed in bringing voters to the poll, and he reckoned that evening that he had secured his friend at least five and twenty votes. Imagine his revulsion of feeling when he next day road in a newspaper that the man he had been working for had stated (in a district where free selectors wore numerous) that 1 the squattors,’ in fits opinion, ‘had he'd the lands long enough, and that it was absurd to think of renewing their leases !’ That energetic squatter’s only solace was that his man wasn’t returned.” Holloway's Ointment and Pills effect wonderful cures of bad legs and old wounds. If these medicines be used according to the directions which are wrapped round each pot and box, there is no wound, bad leg, or ulcerous sore, however obstinate, that will not yield to their curative properties. Thousands of persons who had been patients in hospitals, under the care of eminent surgeons, without deriving the least benefit, have been cured by Holloway’s Ointment and Fills, when other remedies and treatment had signally failed.
