To-morrow Messrs Gorton and Son hold their regular sale of stock at Feildiug. On Saturday Messrs Abraham and Williams hold their horse sale at Palmerston, We received a good sample of the Devonshire Kusset the other day, from Mr Richard Gray's orchard. It is evidently a good keeping variety. As it has been ascertained that a majority of the ratepayers in the Moutoa subdivision of the Mukaka River Board desire to erect the embankments themselves rather than saddle their properties with a loan, it is unlikely that the Board will proceed any farther with the formal steps necessary to secure a vote. Mr W. B. Rhodes has received a letter from Mr Broe dated Coolgardie 29th July in which he gives the satisfactory information that he has struck a very good reef. His party have taken up two leases and have traced the reef for fully ten chains and in addition have sunk a shaft 50 feet deep and cut the reef at that depth, showing fully 3J feet thick of stone of a highly payable character. On the same lease there are two other reefs which show gold of a like nature. The stone has been assayed, and it has shown 7soz. to the ton from an average sample without any picking.

A shocking scandal has been revealed at Melbourne through the arrest of J. F, Gannaway, an ex-Congregational minister, for incest, it being alleged that his unmarried daughter has bore him several child ren. Gannaway's wife is said to be resident in New Zealand. The world's wheat crop is estimated at 232,000,000 under that of 1894.

The choice in each department is almost unlimited, as may be imagined, when it is stated that of flannelette alone, over 50,000 yards have this season been imported at Te Aro House, Wellington. A specially organised department has been established to deal with country orders. Patterns of any materials in stock will be forwarded to any address post free. Country residents are invited to write for prices, or any information regarding goods wanted. It is confidently asserted that nowhere can such a wide selection, or such sterling value be obtained, as at Te Aro House, Wellington.— A»Vl>. One of the sights of Wellington, at any time is undoubtedly the magnificent establishment known as Te Aro House, and now that every department within its walls is filled to overflowing, with a bewildering variety of the season's novelties in millinery, mantles, dresses, etc., it is more than ever a pleasure and profit to visit the wholepale family drapery warehouse, Te Aro Houße.
