There will be servioe at All Saints' Church at 11 a.m., 2.30 p.m. and 6.30 p.m. tomorrow. The Rev. Mr Jones will officiate. Mr Billens has now on view at Mr Furrie's shop the photograph he took of Messrs MoMillan, Rhodes & Co.'s store. It is an excellent sharp picture and the members of the firm and staff show out to good advantage as they are grouped under the verandah. Sheep ruled high at the Awahuri sail • We are creditably informed that in a mob of ewes in lamb, a settler noticed a number of ewes that were, two years flgo, sold off as culls from a large flock, yfit they had brought the Bum of fourteen shillings a head. From both the Wanganui nurserymen we learn that business ia brisker this season than it has been for some years past, they having larg» orders to fun". Mr R. Gray, our local gardener, states the same, so that the countryman has already felt the advance in sheep and all that sheep means. We notice that a substantial verandah is being erected in front of the shops occupied by Joe Tos, Mr Hamer, and Messrs Loveday, which will be a great convenience to these tenants. Over the leader Messrs Loveday announce the opening, this evening, of a colossal clearing sale. No doubt our careful h usekeepers wi I pay a call and find out all the advantages such an announcement means to them. Mr Honore has moved into his new house on the Norbiton road, and Mr McMil'an has taken the house in Clyde street vacated by Mr Honore. The bidding at the sale of trees from Mr Benefield's nursery was not so brisk as we had expected, yet all the lots were quitted. We must congratulate Mr Benefield on the very fine specimens of the different produots of his garden. We are sure all who purchased will be well satisfied. Hares are becoming a decided nuisance. In Carnarvon they invade kitchen gardens and feast on the early cabbages, so that none are left to the growers. Mr McLennan has been much annoyed with them and has determined on giving them a little contra annoyance by instituting some coursing on bis properly. In chatting with Mr Benefield the other day he informed us that he has «ne acre in currant bushes, and off that area he picked last seaßon 17501bs of fruit, the largest part of which he sold in Wanganui at eight pence a pound. Over £58 an aore semsa profitable return i By an advertisement elsewhere it will be seen that Mr J. Cameron has taken over the livery stables at the Manawatu Hotel, and is prej ared to " break " any number of young horses. The local agent of the New Zealand Insurance Company informs us that he has, paid Mr Bowe the full amount of the insurance upon bis dwelling and furniture that were destroyed a fortnight ago. We are pleased to learn that the Company have recognised the efforts of Messrs Hughes and Woods to stay the fire by a monetary compensation. James Smith, of Te Aro House, Wellington, has just sent to our office an exceedingly attractive and well got up sale price list. There is a novelty about it that we do not often meet with, as it not only affords a great d al of information about the sale of surplus winter stock, which commences on Friday next, but it gives a short and succint history of the rise and progress of this widely known and favourite warehouse. The sketches of the original site, of the various bui dings erected oh it from 1845 to the present date, and the short descriptive account of each, are fall f interest, showing clearly the advance and progress of the Colony and with it Te Aro House. We hive a few copies by us obtainable by a call as the office of this paper. General Booth is expected to leave London this month, on his tour of inspection round the world. He will touch at Cape Colony, and then proofed to Australia via Hobart. He is due at Auckland on or about October 20th, and as at present arranged will conduct meetings at Auck and, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. The duration of his stay in New Zealand will be about three weeks. On his way baok to Fngland he will inspect the Indian Station, bmfr

Shortly after the slander case opened on Thursday morning, says the Standard, Mr Morrison (counsel for plaintiffs), intimated to hiß Honor that Mr Cr mp an 1 himself were of opinion that bb the case was ra her a delicate one, the spectators in the Court should »c asked to retire, there being a number of women to be examined. His Honor then addressed the large number of persons who had congregated inside the Courthouse, stating that ho had been requ sted by the members of the legal profession to ask the pub ie to withdraw. Of course he could not compel them to do so, but considering the verj painful nature of the case, and the fact that women would have t > be examined in the witness box, he wou d leave it to their good taste to decide what they should do. The who'e of the persons not engaged in the case then withdrew from he Courthouse n a body. Colonel M'Kie, one of the most successful evangelists in the Salvation Army, who has pc n some 25,000 people converted in his meetings throu hout the world, will shortly be making a tour through New Zealand. He wi I active from Australia, via the Buff, at the end of the month, and will visit most of the principal towns in the Ca'ooy, The Post says •.— We understand that the owners of the racehorses Lucy Glitters and Dangerous intend to make a claim upon the Failway Commissioners for damages on account of the injuries sustained by the amma's through the fire which broke out on the Manawatu Company's line a short time ago. The contract for t 1 c conveyance of the horses to Wellington was made with the Commissioners, and not with the Manawatu. ompany. In connection with the sale of Surplus Winter Stook, commencing on Friday, July 81st, we have .had printed a very effective Price List, copies of which we shall be most happy to forward postage free to any one desiring the same. Application? f.r these shou'd be addressed to James Smith, Te Aro House, Wellington. This c ale Price List is unique of its kind, the paper b ing printed on both sides. On the one side is a most complete list of the Bargains that will be offered, and on the other side are various illustrations showing the various stages through which Te Aro House has passed from the year 1845 up to the present date. This Pictorial History wil no doubt be of interest to all oountry settlers and w i 1 be kept by them as a memento of the Surplus Winter Stock Sale of 1891, at Te Aro House, Wellington. One thing in connection with this sale is worthy of special notice — All the foods are of our own direot importation, and are excellent value at even ordinary prices ; but at our greatly reduced sale prices are marvels of cheapness, and as such shou'd be, and no doubt will be, speedily purcha- ed at the Surp'us Stock Sale, Te Aro House, We'l ngtoa. At this sale we shall have no rubbish, no old or soiled goods, no damaged old-fash-ioned stuff, everything is new, fresh, seaaonab'e ; nor are our goods of a low priced or inferior class. We hold that such as these may be quoted at very low prices, but they would be dear at any price. The goods we shall offer at this sale are fresh seasonable and of excellent value, and those country settlers who may pay us a visit during ita oontinuance will get double their monev's worth at the Surplus Winter Stock Sale, Te Aro House, Wellingt n.
