Mr Johnston, who so lately was removed from the local telegraph office to New Plymouth has had orders lo move to Palmerston. Our Palmerston neighbours gain a most obliging public servant in Mr Johnston. Lambing is in full swing at Okau. Mr D. Graut has informed the Manawatu Times that he has given instructions for the issue of a writ against the Manawatu Road Board. The Warrimoo, from Vancouver, reports that while passing Hull Island, in the Phoenix Group, which is supposed to be uninhabited, twenty or thirty persons were seen on the beach, but as they made no signals boat was not sent off. A rich discovery of gold is reported from the West Coast of Tasmania. The exact locality is unknown. The Government Geologist reports favouably on the find, which yields 12oz to the ton. A severe storm broke over Nelson about 6 o'clock on Thursday evening. The lightning was very vivid, and continued a long time, hail and rain accompanying it. Within an hour the town was flooded. Every street from the hills was converted into a river. Water was flowing through some of the business premises in Trafalgar street, and near the Railway Station horses had to be got out of their stables, the water being up to their bellies. The downpour was phenomenal, and the water could not escape. In some houses it was 2ft deep. The damage must be consider- > able, but it is not ascertainable yet.

Another Wonderful find of gold, , outvying that of the Londonderry liiine, has been made between Cooigardie and Lake Barlee, A parcel of 4:"01 bof stoiie hag bee.n Jotigett in the T;nion Bank; alia hilly half of it is purri Jroio. Another piece, which could not be brought in, is estimated to contain 2cwt of gold. The discovery was made by two brothers named Dunn, of Sydney. The reef is lift thick. There is many a, true word spoken unwittingly. Said Mr ft. W. Russell last night "Now I should like to speak for a, few months." There was hearty laughter as he explained that ho meant monienU. — Messrs Gorton and Son's stock sale at j Sanson on Tuesday; was upon the whole, a j fairly successful one, must of the stock beiiig disposed of. The attendance was a large one, farmers being present from Kiwitea, Palmerston and Wanganui. The entries were numerous and all stock of fair or good quality found buyers at very satisfactory prices as the following quotations will show : — Yearliug, from £1 15s jto £2 ss. A pen of yearlings and 18 months heifers brought £2 ss. Springing cows from £5 6s to £7 10s ; weaners, £1 ( .)s to £1 12s fid. Hoggets, 5s Id to 9s Id ; ewes in lamb, 2-tooth, Sis 3d ; wethers, Us. The general impression appeared to be that everything would have found purchasers at good prices, but for the scarcity of feed.— The show in Messrs Westwood & Co.'s window last night attracted much attention. The display of glass and crockeryware is very good. Messrs McMillan, Ehodes & Co. hold an important drapery sale on Friday and Saturday next at the Sydney Drapery Importing Co.'s premises. This event will create a flutter in our homes and a void in our pockets. Messrs Gorton & Son hold a sale of stock on Friday at Campbelltown. We learn that Messrs Gardner, Rutherford and the Inspector of Maohinery have been appointed judges for the new flax machines. A new stripper arrived by the Queen of the South for Mr Gardner. This is the American machine he advised us sometime ago he was expecting but a puzzle has now arisen how to get it to Paiaka, as it is extremely bulky and heavy, weighing some 14 tons and the owners of the " Ivy " do not care to handle it. A football match is being played to-day between the Foxlon and Paiaka clubs. We are directed to call attention to the large stock of crockery, glass and chinaware now on view at the Bed House CoOp Storks, which have been imported diroct from the potteries of Messrs H. C. Hawley it Co., of Liverpool, especially to the order of Thos. Westwood .1- Co., for the Foxton trade, and on account of the depression in trade these goods are to be sold at actual Wellington wholesale prices. They comprise cups and saucers in every conceivable shape and pattern, plates, dishes and vases, a beautifnl assortment, /lower stands, hand sweets, biscuit barrels, salad bowls, jugs, about 100 sets, teapots, art flowerpots, toilet sets, cheese stands, milks, bread and butters, slops and oreams, dinner services, a beautiful assortment of Blue Pearliue Glassware in sugars, creams, butters, milks, celery classes, biscuit barrels, water sets, and we would recommend all to view this ptock, as it is we believe a chance to buy at prices that will not occur again. On Friday evening, from G to 10 o'clock, we intend having a Special Show Night, when the windows will be illuminated for public inspection.

Any attempt to enumerate even a tithe of the cheap lines now at the disposal of customers, would be worse than useless in the space at our command, but a price list which has been printed will be sent, post free, to the address of any person applying to 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 i pick out bargains from the manufactures of tho 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 3een in the astonishing bargains now being sold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington. Sixty-eight cases and packages of new and seasonable good for all departments have now been opened out for present season at the Bon Marche, and it is freely admitted that no such choice is obtainable in the district. Buyers are invited to make their selections early while first choice of this magnificent range of new goods is still obtainable at The Bon Marche. Boss and Sandford. — Advt. " It's an ill wind that blows nobody good " is a very old saying but none 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 and the sur rounding districts will reap a gigantic benefit. During his visit to Sydney recently, Mr James Smith purchased at absurdly low prices a large stock which is now being sold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington.
