Provision foe Extinguishing Fire.— Mr. Bradley of the Albion Hotel, has set an eaample.fin which is well worthy of being followed by others. In addition to several capacious iron tanks, placed 1 lit Walr of-the'Albion, for the reception of rain water, are also placed several large casks filled with water, pntl 3 “For fire only,” to obviate their contents being utilised for any other purpose. Thus, in 'the event efid fire brdaking "otit, ai fiufiply of water will be.readily available ; and as it is to the lack of water in such emergencies that destructioh .'of valuable properly is frequently attributable, every householder should adopt Mr. Bradley’s plan which is within the reach of all.

Parade of Entires.—This parade—which took place on Saturday last. at Mr. Steggall’s, Makaraka—wasWell attended by owners-of stock and others. The horses exhibited were M> Dtihrfs Windsor Castle, Mr. 'Greene’s Bismarck, Mr Caulton’s Dainty Ariel, apd Mr Robb’s Auckland. ■ Windsor Oistle isfi small draught horse, by an imported sire, and was much admired at the parade—many favorable remarks having been passed .upon it. Bismarck, although a good horse, did not appear to advantage, but this defect was', we understand, attributable to the owner more than to the animal itself. Daintv Airel is a thorough-bred horse, with an excellent pedigree, 7 whose progeny is not inferior to any in New Zealand. He was pronounced by several competent judges to be the beet horse present. Auckland-ftra heavy draught horee, in splendid condition, and looked ; rjsmaftably well. He was particularly admired, ; nnd com. plihientarv remarks were passed as to t|te attention paid to him by its owneri' Th blliustrated New TJealand- Her'ald.— This popular weekly paper, which is published in Dunedin, by Mr. B. T. wheeler. has.of late,been much improved, both in its literary and artistic and is now one of the most attractive, journals in Australasia. The last number to hand —that of the 24th ultimo contains some uncommonly good illustrations, ineludingthe celebration of the O’Connell Centenary in Melbourne, with an admirable portrait of the great Liberator; the attack unon Commodore Goodenough by the Natives of Santa Cruz, and McMeekan and Blackwood’s new steamer the Ringarqoma, which has been lately placed in the New Zealand trade, and which, as stated in our last issue, made her first passage from Melbourne to the Bluff, in three days and 20 ’hours —the quickest on reoord.
