Mr. John Drew Aitken has been writing a capital series of articles on the improTemeut in the breed of sheep, and station management generally. In the last issue we find the following in the concluding portion :—There are two classes of men who can afford to speak out plainly, the possessor of wealth on the one hand, of knowledge on the other. Being entirely denuded of every vestige of the former—(it is no joke to get sat upon by 17 or 18 stone weight of superintendental humanity ; a cock couped for the pit, all superfluous feathers removed, and steel spurs on, would be an apt illustration of the position)—but having any amount of the latter, I give it for the benefit of others who may not have had similar opportunities, and in the hope that it may, in some measure, be the means of as effectually removing the leprosy that now attaches to the chief export of the country as my exertions and experience as an inspector did scab from its flocks some years since; and although there should be some, like Naaman the Syrian, who may from the very simplicity of my suggestions be inclined doubtfully to exclaim, “Are not Abana and Pharpar rivers of Damascus ?” &c., yet I sincerely trust that, as in bis, so in this, wise counsel will prevail, and a fair trial be given to what I am confident will prove a thorou-b success. It is, in fact, asking owners of croo . reds to accept a ticket in a sweep where all are sure to win, and, by its acceptance, do what we are told is considered honorable' by the noblemen of other lands, and that ir to compete in growing what is termed, not shoddy, but noble wool. Valuable Discovery for the Hair,—lf your hair is turning grey or white, or falling off, use "The Mexican Hair Kenewer, for it will positively restor in every case Grey or White hair to its original color, without leaving the disagreeable smell of most " Restorers.” It makes the hair charmingly beautiful as well as promoting the growth of the hair on bald spots, where the glands are not decayed. Ask your Chemist for “The Mexican Hair Renewer,” prepared by Henry C. Gallup, 493 Oxford-street, London, and sold by Chemists and Perfumers everywhere at 3s 0d per Hot tie. - r A nvr Tenders LOCAL BOARD.

The Mill was formerly carried on under the superintendence of Messrs. McChesney and Beard, and is in thorough working order, possessing all the requirements necessary tor carrying on a large and lucrative business. There is a Siding for loading timber, and about 10 chains of tramway already constructed into the Bush. The Sawmill Gear is complete, comprising Engine, Boiler, Breaking-down Frame with racking and reversing gear, two Circular Saw Benches, Planing and Rusticating Machine capable of planing boards up to 24in., tonguing and grooving up to 14m., 4 Trucks, and Blacksmith’s Forge. The whole is enclosed under a large and commodious shed, 110 by 45ft., built about six months ago, which is in a perfect state of preservation. Also three cottages with brick chimneys, 12 x 24. The largest amount of timber hitherto cut in a single day reached 4000 ft., though the Engine is capable of working up to a much larger figure. The Lease has between five and six years to run, and the bush, about acres, contains some of the finest timber to be found in the neighborhood ; and for anyone possessing the requisite capital to carry on the business, the above presents one of the best opportunities ever offered in the sawmilling interest.
