Wo have received from tho publisher, Mr R. Barrett, Wellington, the first number of the Neio Zealand Punch , and although not equal to tho English publication, vve have no hesitation in saying it is a very creditable production, Mr Cowern will bold his Kakaramea stock sale to-day. The Carlyle Presbyterian entertainment will take place in tho Town Hall, tomorrow evening. Some hapless teamster, anxious to avoid the mud on tho Hawera side of tho Manawapou, kept too near the edge, and the result is that the dray and its scattered cargo lie at the bottom of the gully, the observed of all observers. Mr F. E. Jackson’s Hawera stock sale will taiie place on Saturday next. Sales of land in the Ngaire district, near Stratford, on deferred payment and cash, are announced to take place. Applications for the former will be received at the Crown Lands Office, New Plymouth, i I 1 OH Saturday, tho 4th October ; whilst the cash sale will take place in the Court House, Hawera, at 11 o’clock on Saturday, the 11th October. Any section for which more than one application is received, will be offered for sale by auction on deferred payments, at the sale of cash lands.

A case of a peculiar nature came before the R.M. yesterday. G. lingers sued T. Quinlivan for tho sum of £5, said to have been wrongly appropriated by defendant whilst playing at cards with the plaintiff. The case was adjourned for one month.

The following is tho result of tho town of Now Plymouth and Grey and 801 l poll, the former of which took place on Saturday last, and the latter on Monday : Town of New Plymounth—Kelly, 237 ; Fooks, 100. Grey and Bell —Trimble, 280 ; Skeet, 221.

His Honor Judge Shaw arrived in Carlyle from Wanganui on Friday last, and opened the District Court at 10 o’clock the next morning. The only case down for hearing was Bank of New Zealand v. C. A. Edwards, claim £B3 4s Id, amount of overdraft. Judgment was given for plaintiff, with £3 3s solicitors fee, and £1 8s Court costs. His Honor left for Wanganui, soon after the hearing, so as to bo in time to catch the steamer leaving for New Plymouth that evening. A parade of entire horses will take place on Saturday next, at the back of the Court House, Carlyle. At the R.M, Court on Saturday last (before C. A. Wray, Esq., R.M.), S. Tapi in sued Alexander Wood for the sum of £l4 11s; judgment for plaintiff for amount claimed and costs.—On Monday, Rangawhenua, far stealing a coat at Manutahi belonging to G, Beamish, was sentenced to three months in Wanganui gaol. —Yesterday, a native named Kopekope, for being drunk and disorderley at Manutahi, was fined 5a and costs.

In another column will be found the pedegree of the entire horse Puriri, lately imported by Mr R. E. Mcßae, of Kakaramea. Speaking of the excellence of the stud horses on the West Coast of this Island, a Wellington exchange says:— “ Messrs Mcßae and Nicholson, of Kakaramea, have been the chief people who have gone to great expense in this respect, but we are sorry to say that their enterprise has been but poorly rewarded. A short time ago they had Dead Shot, one of the best Traducer sires in the colony ; but he, unfortunately, was taken amiss, and died during the last season. Mcßae and Nicholson have not, however, allowed the grass to grow under their feet, for they have purchased from Mr Redwood his very highly-bred horse Puriri, by Towton from Waimea, the dam of Manuka, Papapo, Totara, and others, the finest equine samples that New Zealand ever saw. Puriri is one of her best, and in his day has been a grand preformer. He is an even chestnut of some 16 hands, and won the Derby at Dunedin two years ago, ran third for the Dunedin Cup at the same meeting, beating some sixteen others, and won the Leger at the Canterbury meeting of the same year. The Patea public may congratulate themselves on having such an excellent addition to their stud horses.
