We learn that Mr S. M. Wilson of the Albion Club Hotel is so overcrowded that ho intends to erect bedrooms over the main entrance leading to the stables, and to take in the upstairs portion of Mr Mr M. G. Nasmith’s building. This will certainly secure an important increase in the already large accommodation of this popular hostelry. The Rev. Mr Hill will preach on Sunday next, at 2 o'clock, at Patutahi, in the School house, and in the evening at Makaraka. The Bishop of Waiapu will officiate at the Holy Trinity Church during the incumbents absence.

() woman ! in our hour of ease, uncertain, coy, and hard to please, and variable as the shade ; by the light quivering aspen made, when pain and anguish wring the brow, a ministering angel thou ! Of course she was when she procured a pair of Garret's boots for her husband.

Mr R. Colebrook, of the Waerenga-a-hika store* announces that he intends holding a large clearing out sale, for one month, and that to save the expenditure of time in remarking his large and varied stock of clothing, boots and shoes, he purposes giving a discount of four shillings in the .£. It is almost needless to say anything in praise of Mr Colebrook, as our country reaners know the gentleman and the quality of the goods he disposes of. We do not want him to personally “clear out,” but we trust that his stock may be. As his terms are so exceedingly liberal, we feel convinced that settlers will take the opportunity of securing firstclass goods at so liberal a discount. Mr E. Gruner, the Bailiff of the Resident Magistrate’s Court advertises that he will sell at 11 o’clock to-morrow certain property seized under a writ of fi fa, in Moore v. Hone Kewa. The sale will take place at Waerenga-a-hikr.

A young lady who resides at lake Preston, Dakota, has lately created quite a furore among the eligible young men of the neighbourhood by an advertisement in the local newspaper. She says :— “I mean business. If there is any young man in this county that has as much sand in him as a pound of plug tobacco, I want to hear from him. I have a tree cliam and homestead, am a good cook and notafarid of work, and willing to do my part. If any man with a like amount of lan, and decent fare and carcase, wasn’t a good wife, I can fill the bill.” Sir Beaucha np Seymour objects to being rewarded with Baron honours.
