Manawatu Herald. TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1891.

Messrs Abraham and Williams hold a stock sale at Palmerston on Thursday. Bailey, the absconding cattle-dealer, has been arrested at Dubbo New South Wales. Parliament is to be opened by Commission on Friday, or Tuesday following. Mr Scobic Mackenzie has decided to contest the Tnapeka seat. Mr George Hedges, at one time a well-' known resident in Sancton, has died at Timarn. Hetty Cropp was fined £10 and costs for sly grog selling at Palmerston. Notioe of appeal was given. There are 100 compositors out of work in Wellington, yot 27 more arrived on Thursday from Australia. Philip Honnesay <fc Co. have an important advertisement in this issue, which we commend to the perusal of our country friends. For the last few days it has been raining hard in the Hawke's Bay district and a heavy flood is now coming clown the Manawatu. The river is running over the voad at Wirokino. By the will of tho late Mr Samuel Western, yarn agent, Manchester. £50,000 is left to the Manchester Infirmary, £50,000 to the Bishop of Manchester for church purposes, and about £70,000 to various looal charities. Messrs Loveday Bros, lose no opportunity in letting the public know of their desire to please. The altered advertisement asserts that being direct importers, they can and pre selling goods at a small advance on English cost. We regret to state that Mis Robinson, of Herringtou, is seriously ill. She had had an attack of influenza from which she was recovering when she caught a fresh cold, which has settled on her lungs. Dr. Dermer is attending to Mrs Robinson but cannot, for some days, speak decisively as to her recovery. We notice thnt many of our contemporaries have mis-read the oliVr of Mr J. Wright Stewart to the Manawatu County Council Most unfortunately it is not a direct offer of £6000 for the tramway, but contingent upon the company being floated, whioh, we take it, is a very different matter. The agreement in effect is aimply tying the County up from .dealing with the , property for a twolvcinonth, they taking nil risks if Mr Stewart is not successful in tloatiug his scheme. Of course we should much like to see him able to do that which he proposes, but we have very little faith in his ability to do it.

An advertiser wants paddocking for some sheep. Bobert Buchanan, the well-known writer in verse and prose, has been declared bankrupt. Lord Rosebery's cot Ladas has been struck out of all his engagements, including the St. liDgti 1 . The stud sheep sales which open at Sydney on 2nd July will be the largest ever held, the entries being three times greater than the average for the past four years. The Daily Telegraph's* correspondent says there is danger of a revolt in Sicily People are destitute, and the women and children at Lercara are eating hay and grass. In addition to owuing Ladas, Lord Rosebery has also the distinction of having himself bred the Derby winner, whose pedigree reads as follows :— Ladas, Hampton — Illuminata, Eossicrucian — Parafin, Blair Athol— Paradigm. The Colonial Treasurer of Cape Colony, Sir J. Gordon- Sprigg, in delivering the Budget, said the credit of the Cape was unequalled, and in the eyes of capitalists it was the most solid colony of all. The Budget shows a surplus of £.".30,000. In a few days, the Manawatu Times says, the Mayor intends to prepare a statement showing the financial affairs of the borough in their minutest particular, When prepared the statement will be laid before a meeting of ratepayers, in order that they may see exactly how matters stand. The West Coast Agricultural and Pastoral Association having fixed Hie date of their next annual show for October 2.jth, the Mnsir-rion Association havo written to request thr-m to alter if as this date had prpviously been decided upon for the AlastPi'ton Agricultural Show. Something reasonable from an exchange. A robber met a coal dealer on a lonely road and stopped him. " Your money or your lifi',''jsaid the robber. " Who are you ?" a?k'-d the coal dealer. "I'm a highwayman/" -'(rood enough," continued the coal dealer: '• I'm a low-wfighman. Shake: we should bo friends.'' And they were. Lord Rosebery's Dorby winner, Ladas, is thus descrihed : — ln color a bay, without whiti', save for a birthmark under the saddle, he stands within a shade of 16 hand*, and is a colt of exceptional length and quality. Matthew Dawson, trainer for Lord Rosebery , considers that the exact prototype of Ladas he has never seen. As a rule, a horse reminds you of some other horse, but in Dawson's opinion it is not so in this ease. M. Charles de T.esseps was officially notified the oihpr day of the decree by which his name is struck off the rolls of the Legion of Honour, whereby he forfeit^ the right to wear any French or foreign decoration. No mention is mado of his father, Count Ferdinand de Lesspps, who therefore remains a Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. Publicly, as well as privately, a good deal of sympathy is pxpressed for the son. Duke Charles Theodore, of Bavaria, the oculist, who plied his voluntary vocation for years in the most unselfish manner for the benefit of thousands of sufferers, has falh-n seriously ill, and is going to the South to recuperate his health. From the fact that the lease of the Villa of Schwobing where the Duko had installed his infirmary has been cancelled by the owner, it i? inferred that the Duko intends to abandon wholly the exercise of his profession. A curious meeting at sea is reportedCaptain DaMvell, of the British ship Astoria, 13B") tons, which arrived from Liverpool at Esquimalt (8.C.), the other day, reported that oft' Cape Horn he sighted » vessel which on being spoken proved to be the barque Silver Stream, on a voyage from New Zealand to London. The Silver Stream was also commanded by a Captain Dnnwell, and the ships hovo-to while the two brothers, who had not met for many years, spent a few hours in each other's society. It is most gratifying to learn from the Ailrorale that the stock sale held by Mr !{. K. Beckett at Marton last week was distinguished by a spirit which has been almost j onliroly lacking lately throughout tho ! ■.h.-iiiie'.. Tin- yards wc-ro occupied by j .">,OOO sheep of splendid quality, niul nearly j every p^n was sold under the hammer at i an advance of from Is to Is M por head j One pen of shorn Homney lambs hrod by j .lamps Awdry realised li^ Jd, which is quite i Is (id higher than similar' stock has j brought for months pa>t, Bidding was i spirited throughout, and tin? si^n* were 1 unmistakable that farmers not only intend to buy again, but that fair pric?s Are ngain going to be realised.

Buyers are invited to make their selections early while first choice of this magnificent range of new goods is still obtainable at The lion Marohe. Ross and Handford. — Advt. " It's an ill wind that blows nobody good " is a very old saying but nonp the less true. Whilst the great depression existing at Sydney at the present time, has caused a deplorable amount of misery, yet the people cf Wellington anil the sur rounding districts will reap a gigantic benefit. During his visit to Sydney recently, Mr Jamea Smith purchased at absurdly low prices a large stock which is now being sold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington. With a view of making this sale the event of the year, two special buyers were despatched from Te Aro House, one to attend the great sale of Edwards, Bennett & Cos. wholesale stock, and the other to pick out bargains from the manufactures of the well known Kaiapoi Woollen Co. Both these gentlemen have returned after a most successful trip, and the total result of their efforts is to be seen in the astonishing bargains now being Fold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington. With all these advantages in purchasing, it would be strange indeed if the sale was not one to be remembered. Any attempt to enumerate even a tithe of the cheap lines now at the disposal of customers, would ! bo worse than uholpks in thr, spane at our , command, but a prioe list which has been printed will be sent, post free, to the address of any person applying to the Whole* ' sale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, ' : Wellington,
