FEVER BREEDING.

(To the Editor of the Patea Mail.) Sir, —Permit me 'through your columns' to draw the attention of the Wavi-rley Local Board to the dreadful stench arising from pigs, styes, and stagnant water lying in the neighborhood of the Commercial' Hotel. It is now nearly unbearable—the wind blowing nearly a gale, and so spreading the nuisance. If the nuisance is allowed to remain during the hot weather, injury will certainly be done to the health of the inhabitants of that part of tiro Town, and it is likely that fever or some equally dangerous epidemic will arise.—l am, &c., INHABITANT. .. Waverley, November 21.

MODEL FARM. Thr Christchurch Press .drives the following particulars respecting the institution of a scheme of scientific fanning at Canterbury : •“ The Canterbury mo iei or exp rimontal farm is situate u-ar toe R dhvay.6tation, Lincoln, anil it contains 3GO acres, the quality ranging from rich swamp land to light loamy soil, the ■whole being admirably adapted for experiments in agriculture. It is proposed to proceed with the erection of the farm buildings and procure the necessary plant immediately after the arrival of the manager. "With respect to the qualifications of this gentleman, Mr. W. E.

Well-dressed Men —Among those habitual errors of conduct which are common in both careful and careless persons, notone is more often met with than disregard of the advantages derivable from being well dressed; yet whoever lives observantly in such a County us Patea. is soon convinced that this mistake is fruitful of mischievous results. All of us instinct ively j ndgo from first impressions; we proceed from the exterior to the interior; a well-dressed man gratifies our fondness for beauty and our appreciation of neatness; and there is no one, however cynical or unobservant, but is pleased when a well-dressed person, even if a stranger, passes by, and disposed to think favorably of him. This universal dispo fit ion cannot safely be offended. To be habitually a sloven is to constantly, though unconsciously, offend numerous persons. among whom the favour of some may be valuable; and therefore a shrewd man is not 'content to make himself neat now and then, but always will appear well dressed, lie keeps his clothes in good order, and is careful in the selection of a tailor.

In bringing this maxim before public notice, Pi. A. Adams. Cardigan House, is gratified by remembering that the disposition of a great many of his customers to appear in public well dressed has been mat by the combination in his goods of selection, material good fit. and low price. He obtains Ids cloths in the most advantageous markets; he employs first-class cutters and workmen; he avoids obsolete fashions; and he is content with moderate profits in the place of the exorbitant percentage which only a few years ago was universal, and still is frequent in the tailoring trade. Ills gloves, hats, shirts,'hosiery, ties, and scarfs, are also such as will please the most fa 4 idioms. Whatever experience, capital, care, and good taste c m effect on the tradesman’s side, is done by il. A. A in order that all his customers may rcali c the substantial advantages of being well-dressed; "and that bis efforts give satisfaction, is shown by the rapid and steady increase in the number of tho e who deal with him. Attentive to Use changes of costume necessitated by varying seasons, add of style by tho diotatee of fashion, R. A. ADA us has now on hand a large and carefully selected stock of cloths suitable for all seasons.—R. A. ADAMS Cardigan House, (lari vie.— advt.
