Gikt Sauk.— On Friday, Mr F. R. Jackson held a sale of stock and produce which had been contributed by settlers and others towards the funds of the Church of England being at present raised to wipe oil' the debt on the now church. The collection was of a very miscellaneous character, and on the whole the prices realised must have been considered fair; but there was nothing sold at a fabulous price because of the good object to which the money was to bo devoted. Times are too straitened at present for such display of generosity and good will. Stock .Sack. —There was only a very limited entry of stock for sale on Friday, and the bidding was rather slow.
