Page and Co. intimate that holders of tickets in their Cup Sweep must pay up by to-morrow, or their chances will be forfeited. Ball Dresses.—Mr W.

Root will conduct Divine service on Sunday next at Mr Harrison's woolshed, Waikohu, at 10.30 a.m., at Ormond at 2.30 p.m., and at St. Andrew’s at 7 p.m. 1128 Go-a-Head Ormond.—Wa learn that Mr Villers has added to the numerous trades carried on by him at Ormond, that of saddler, a branch of industry which has not been filled up since Mr McCaffery left. Retribution. — The Public Petitions Committee has reported declining to recommend the petition of Captain Morris, for payment of the expenses incurred in contesting the seat for the East Coast district with Captain Read. Bass’s Superior.—We have been favored with a sample of very superior ale just to baud, and now on sale at Mr Butt's Shamrock Hotel. It is the celebrated pyramid brand, and being of a light body, is just adapted to this season of the year, and these warm latitudes. Poverty 7 Bay Highway District.— A Provincial Government Gazette of the 20th current, notifies that Messrs J. B. Poynter, aud Peter Breingan have been elected as Fence Viewers; and F. J. Piesse, and F. Dufaur as Auditors of the above district. Also that the assessment list of the Board has been sent to the Superintendent’s office.

Tenders. —Mr Morgan requires tenders to be sent in to him up to noon, on Monday next, 6th Nov., for ths erection of a dwelling house for Mr Henare Putae at Tokomaru. Auction Sales. —Mr W. S. Greene will hold an unreserved sale by auction of cattle and horses at the Shelbourne Hotel Yards, on Friday next. Messrs Ferris aud Pitt are pulling up a good catalogue for Saturday next, when they will hold the first of their quarterly auction sales at the Shelbourne Hotel Yards. Mr. W. S. Greene, having satisfactorily disposed of his run at Okahuatiu, is about to re-enter actively on his old business as an auctioneer, aud general agent. An advertisement to that effect appears elsewhere. We congratulate Mr Greene, he is an old settler and deserves support in a line of business he is thoroughly acquainted with. Every Temperance Law hitherto framed admits the necessity of stimulants as medicines, and no teetotaller of sense denies that they ase essential elements of cure in a variety or diseases. Only fanatics deny the utility of an alcoholic preparation. The rapid and positive cures of nervous debility, dyspepsia, kidney and bladder complaints, uterine ailments, wrought by Udolpho Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic-Schnapps, give the lie to those who deny the utility of spirituous medicines.— Advt. Native Land Court.—We were requested, at an advanced hour last evening, to withdraw the report—which had been kindly furnished to us by Judge Rogan—of the business done at the sitting of the Native Land Court at Mahia, uutil next issue. It appears there are a few incorrectnesses in it, which it is desirable should be rectified before being published. Il will appear on Saturday next, with the report of the Wairoa sitting as well. Ram Fair.—Messrs Ferris and Pitt have been encouraged to consider the advisability of instituting a Ram Fair, or Show, by the proposals of certain sheepfarmers in this district; and they invite suggestions as to the most fitting time and place in which to hold it, also the supply of sheep likely to be submitted to the hammer. The enterprise of the new firm is a commendable feature in the auctioneering line, aud we trust the institution " they are about inaugurating will be a profitable one to themselves, as it must be beneficial to the district generally. Auckland Journal of Commerce.— The second No. of this journal has reached us, and we cannot but compliment the editor on its extended usefulness. It contains 12 pages of carefullycompiled matter, and bears evidence of much labor and attention having been bestowed on its production. Such a journal must be beneficial to the trading community, and we confidently recommend every house of business to subscribe to it. It is issued monthly, aud embraces the latest quotations, and memoranda of shipping, &c. The price is only 21s per annum in advance, and we shall be happy to receive subscribers’ names at our office. Road Board.—The principal business done by the Board on Monday, was a consideration of the proposed erection of the Waikohu district. A difference of opinion had arisen as to the boundaries, which should divide it from the existing districts, and it was decided to act on the suggestion of the Provincial Secretary, and let those settle the matter who are most interested. A letter was received from Mr G. S. Cooper stating that it was no part of the Government proposals to set aside reserves for the endowment of Road Boards. An application for improvements in Derby street was acceded to. A communication from Capt. Morris informed the Board that he had applied to the Premier for a grant in aid to prevent the encroachment of the river at Ormond, who expressed himself favorable to the grant, and recommended the Board to lay the matter again before the Government.
