Mr F R. Jackson will hold a Sale of stock at his Turakina yards on Friday next. Remember Mr Cowern’s Kakaramea stock sale to-day. The sale of Ngah'e sections will take place at Hawera on Saturday next, at noon. By an advertisement in another column, it will bo seen that Messrs Gower & Co., of Wanganui, intend opening a chemists shop in Carlyle, in Mr D. M. Warren’s premises. Mr W. Cowern annonncea that he will hold a sale of firnt-o)as3 building timber, in suitable sizes and lengths, on Saturday next. Mr W. Dale will bold a sale of freehold and leasehold land, at his mart, Carlyle, on Saturday next ; also merchandise and sundries, to close consignments. Tenders will be received by Messrs Skelley Bros, up to noon on Saturday, for the erection of a shop in Carlyle. The building trade seems to be reviving, which is an indication that the settlers of the district are becoming more hopeful. Mr H. A. Arthur has commenced operations opposite Mr Dale’s; adjoining which Messrs Ske ley Bros intend erecting their premises ; and when the Bank of New Zealand take their stand in this block, the appearance of that si !e of Taranaki Road will be considerabl}’improved. The Hospital is all but completed, and the Post Office is bcgining to look respectable. Mr W. Cowern bus just bad completed a very commodious and handsome dwelling house a short distance from the town. At Hawera Messrs \V hittakcr Bros intend erecting a new shop, nearly opposite the Post Office. It is high time something was done in the way of removing the nuisance at present existing near the Australasion Hotel—‘in the shape of a large pond of (in summtr) stagnant water. Neither t/xe Town Board or County Conncil consider they have a right to see to the mattei - , but it is manifestly the duty of the local governing body to abate, if possible, any nuisance (hat is likely to breed disease. Mr Jackson, who lives on the bank of this pond, has made a series of complaints to the Council and Town Board, but to no avail, and bo has been informed that as he bought the land with the water on, he must remove it at his own expense. Mr Jackson does not complain of the pond as when, first purchased by him, but it is the fact that it has become the receptable tor all the storm water off the County road that induced him to make his complaint. No doubt someone is responsible for the filling up of the hole, and the sooner it is done, the less likely are we to be visited with fever, or some other equally unpleasant disease.

The Bank of England was 185 years old oh the 27th July. The charter, granted at first for eleven years, has been renewed from time to time. In the large building in Threadncodle-streot, eight hundred persons are now employed. The following nominations have been by the Secretary of the Patea Jockey Club for the Handicap Hurdles : Tricotrin, Otawa, Lone Hand, Grey Momns, Loch Lomond, Gazelle, B. G. Crohod (?), Olando, and Tawcra. Mr W. Dixon has been asked by a nutn* ber of ratepayers to stand for the vacant seat in the Carlyle Town Board, caused by the resignation of Mr Hirst. We understand that Mr Dixon has consented. The return match between a second ten of Nos. 1 anil 2 Companies Patea Rifles, came oft on Saturday last, but the weather was so stormy that more misses than hits were made on both sides. No. 2 were again the victors by 44 points. Out of a possible 600 —213 points were made 2, and 169 by No, 1.
