Consequently, I have purchased some land in the VVairarapa, and intend to settle there about the end of the present year.In the following list of prizes I pledge my word as a Mason, an Odd Fellow, a Forester, and a that I have not put any fictitious value on any of the prizes ; I also guarantee every article as genuine, as I have carefully excluded all fancy or plated goods. The watches, jewellery, &0., are sterling gold and silver ; the miscellaneous goods are in strict conformity with their description in the ' list. The drawing will take place as soon as the tickets are sold, and will be under tho scrutiny and supervision of a committee of ticketholders. I have made the price of the ticket 65., so as to be within the means of everyone who can afford to speculate that amount for a chance of obtaining a valuable equivalent iu the shape of what the eccentric Wemmick describes as “ portable property,” or £IOO in bard cash.
