One of the drawbacks of country life, at least to the small settler, is undoubtedly the increased price he has to pay for any articles of clothing or general drapery, by reason of the extra oharges for freight or carriage, this drawback need exist no longer, for extra charges are done away with under the new parcel system which has been inaugurated at Te Aro House, Wellington^ tinder this system any of the parcels advertised will be S' j nt to any address in New Zealand, post free; the prices charged being exactly the same as those at which the goods are sold over the counter in Wellington.
