MUD SIFTING.

' [TO THE EDITOR OF THE PATE A MAIL.] Sir, —Now, as the Gas and Blow appears to be pretty well all spent about our Town Board members’ nominations (W. Wilson, Esq.) in particular, I would like to ask “ Broad Arrow ” and “ Wheelbarrow,” why the general feeling of disgust at the action of Messrs Southby and Company ? I do not see why Mr James Southby should not nominate or second whosoever lie pleased, as long as both were latepayers ; or why he should not promise a Brass Band for Patea, if Air Lett could get a talented meeting in Carlyle to play the instruments.—l am, &c. NOT BIG DBUM.

Good housekeepers hate to put off washday. With them it is “ soap deferred that maketh the heart sick.” A cynical lady, rather inclined to flirt, says men are like a cold—very easily caught and very hard to get rid of. There is a man in Tennessee with such big feet that if ho gets them wet in December, he doesn’t have a cold in his head until February. London Punch defines a woman as a creature endowed with sulf-ornamental instinct.

Strangers and country settlers coming to Carlyle, are very often at a loss to know which is the best and cheapest General Drapery and Clothing Establishment in the district. It. A. Adams’ Cardigan House, offers special advantages that can he, met with nowhere else in the district. He keeps the largest and best assorted stock of every .description of drapery goods, imported direct—and from the best colonial houses ; which, being bought on

the most advantageous terras, and having thorough knowledge of the business, enables him to offer goods of sterling quality at pi ices that cannot ho improved on by any other house in New .Zealand. Every article is marked in plain figures, from which there is no deviation ; so that inexperienced people are as well served as the best judges, the terms being net cash, without rebate or abatement of any kind. Note the address— R. A, Adams; Cardigan House, nearly opposite Town Hall, Carlyle.— advt. Holloicay's Pills. —This medicine lias t iumphed over every obstacle with which time, prejudice, and vested interests have opposed it, and it at length stands forth victorious as the most reliable remedy for those derangements of the system always common at the change of seasons. When the air grows cooler, and the functions of the skin are retarded, an occasional dose of Holloway’s Pills will urge the liver and kidneys to greater activity, and compensate the system for diminished cutaneous action. As alteratives, aperients, and tonics these Pills have no equal. To every aged and

delicate person,-whoso appetite is defective, digestion infirm, and tone of health low, t* this medicine will be a precious boon, conferring both case and strength.
