A correspondent of the Taranaki Herald , gives an interesting account of railway works progress beyond Inglewood, in ■■which lie mentions that the Mangamawliil i and Wainukn-iti bridges have been taken over from the contractor (Mr Glendining), who expects to finish two other bridges—one near theWaipnkn village, and the other near Midmost—in tiie course of the present month. The following is an extract—“ Messrs Wilkie, Brothers have all the s eepers laid down, and the railsfium Inglewood to the Maiigamawhi'.i bridge, also a good portion of the line lias been ballasted. These gentlemen have shown every disposition, since the acceptance of their Lender to get the work done with as little delay as possible, but unfortunately they have been delayed, wailing for the arrival of an engine, which had been promised them by the Government. In the meantime they have made a tramway to a large gravel pit on Mr Marshall’s section, near the Pcakoo bridge, where they expect to obtain a sufficiency to ballast the whole of the line. They have taken another contract from the Government, to remove about eight thousand yards of earth on the railway lino, near the Avalanche Creek. They have about thirty men daily employed in removing it. They commenced about throe weeks since, and expect to finish it early next month. This evidently shows that they are determined to fulfil their engagements with the Government within the time specified, if no obstacles are thrown in their way to pretent it.” Well-dressed Men—Among those habitual errors of conduct which are common in both careful and careless persons, not one is more often met with than disregard of the advantages derivable from being well dressed; yet whoever lives observantly in such a County as I’atea. is soon convinced that this mistake is fruitful of mischievous results. All of us instinctively judge from fust 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 disposition cannot safely be offended. To trial h- a sloven is to constantly, thongumnconsciously, offend numerous persons. among whom the favour of some may he valuable; and therefore a shrewd man is not content to make himself neat now and then, bat always will appear well dressed. He keeps his clothes in good order, and is careful in the selection of a tailor. In bringing this maxim before public notice. Ik A. Adams, Cardigan House, is gratified by remembering (hat 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; 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. His gloves, hats, shirts, hosiery, ties, and scarfs, are also such as will please the most fastidious. Whatever experience, capital, cave, and good taste can effect on the tradesman’s side, _is done by It. 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 the changes of costume necessitated by varying seasons, and of style by the dictateeof fashion, 11. A. ADAMS has now on hand a large and carefully selected stock of cloths suitable for all seasons.—ll. A. ADAMS Cardigan House, Carlyle.—advt. Holloway's Pills. —Happy Existence.— How few there are who realise to its possible extent this desirable condition ! The head, stomach, and nerves are constantly becoming disordered and bringing corresponding discomforts unless early measures be taken to reduce the unruly actions to order. Holloway’s Pills acomplish this purpose most certainly and satisfactorily. Ample printed directions are folded round each box for the guidance of all seeking ease and health. Under the benign influence of Hi se mirifying Pills order and regularity i :gn hroughout the entire system, and eve y hj tman function is wholesomely conncct-d. No mean advantage possessed by Holloway's gentle yet potent Pills is their incapability of doing any harm. They may be fearlessly administered to the most delicate lady and tenderesfc infant.
