PATEA. The following letter lias been addressed to the Editor of the Evening Post , and will show how much attention Patea is attracting in Wellington : — Sir —There is one place not far from Wellington to which theie has never yet been an excursion, and no place has been described in such glowing terms both by yon and your contemporaries, and yet how few Wei lingtomans have the chance of seeing it. That place is Patea. It was hoped that the steamer Patea would Ire ready for Christmas, but now wo are informed that she will not be ready before the next three weeks, when holidaying will be over. Would yon not, sir, in the meantime urge on the owners to charter a a steamer to open the trade ? There are four companies in Wellington having boats fit to enter the river, which could be done easily on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, or thereabouts, as spring tides will then answer. The auctioneers of Wellington are also very much interested up there ; would they not help in the matter? Mr Duncan lias a lot of land for sale there now. By using his influence a little, in conjunction with yours, he could no doubt obtain the boon desired, and wl.iHi would he much appreciated by Excursionist. p.S.—By carrying the mails the Government would give a subsidy.

is more often met with than disregard of the advantages derivable from being well dressed; yet whoever lives observantly in such a County as Patea, is soon convinced that this mistake is fruitful of mischievous results. All of us instinctively judge from first impressions; we proceed from the exterior to the interior; a well-dressed man gratifies our fondness for ■ beauty and onr 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 disposition 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. Ife keeps his clothes in good order, and is careful in the selection of,a tailor. In bringing this maxim before public notice, R. 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 met by the combination in his goods of selection, material, good fit. and low price. He obtains his cloths in the most advantageous markets; lie employs first-class cutters and workmen ; be avoids obsolete fashions; and he is com cut 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. His gloves, hats, shirts, hosiery, ties, and scarfs, are also such as will please the most fastidious. Whateverexperionoc. capital, care, and good taste can effect on the tradesman's side, is done by R. A. Adams, in order that all his customers may realise the substantial advantages of 'being well-dressed; and that his efforts give satisfaction, is shown by the rapid and steady increase in the number of those who deal with him. Attentive to tlie changes of costume necessitated by varying seasons, and of style by the dictatee of fashion, R. A. Adams has now on hand a large and carefully selected stock of cloths suitable for all seasons.—R. A. ADAM'S Cardigan House, Carlyle.— advt.
