Messrs Hetherington and Co. havo a replace advertisement in to-day’s issue, in which they announce their usual summer clearing sale, which commences to-day. Many lines in every department are considerably reduced,' much below their ordinary prices, some idea of the reductions will be gathered from the few lines which are advertised, which will be found to represent the large stock to extensive to particularise. Settlers and others will do well to patronise this cheap clearing sale, and thus rely upon getting good value for their money and keep that commodity circulating in the district.- - , '

We are pleased to note that the Northern ■-S.S. Go. are not slow to show their willingness to cater for the increasing trade of this Upper Thames district. The fact of the large volume of trade, which has been done by them of late, speakes well for the enterprize of the company. Freights are exceedingly low, bonedust, for instance, being brought from Auckland to Te Aroha for _los,per.ton,_ and other • -goods are carried at) equally low charges. Mr L. Hirst, the onergetic local agent of the companyyis. sparing no pains to popularize the carrying trade. It will be seen by their rnont, which appears in another ’.column?, that they are now running 3 trips week, and will continue to do so As .long&a inducement offers. We hope the business men in the district will continue' to support the company in their efforts to supply the needs of this rising community. Called Back ! Nothing succeeds like success. The manager of the Te Aroha branch of the Northern Drapery Company informs us that he was almost sold .out of goods by Wednesday last, which necessitated his having to take a trip to town for more new stock, which has arrived now. The most notable feature about the success of their cash sale at Te ArOha is, that all the customers who purchase large parcels at their store during the past week have Called Back for more of the bargains, which clearly proves that the firm give the public the best value money can buy. i It is a curious thing that whilst the Romans used pumice stone for polishing purposes two thousand years ago, hardly any other use has been found for it, until Mr J C. Firth discovared its valuable properties for insulating frozen meat works, steamers and butter factories, for rendering bedrooms and_ telephone closets impervious to sound, and his latest—though not the of the use of prepared pumice for rendering,buildings fire proof. There is evidently more in. pumice than bur philosophy has hitherto dreamed of. An amusing scene was witnessed, at the Marton railway station the other morning. When the train from Palmerston drew up at the station a girl of some fifteen summers, eager to greet her paternal parent, jumped out backwards rather too soon, landing in the midst of half-a-dozen bystanders, who were scattered on the ground like ninepins, the cause of all the mischief turning a somersault, but sustaining no injury.

A Brisbane correspondent writing)recently says: Cricket, racing, cycling, and all other forms of exercise are now in the ‘ winter of our discontent.*' The tracks are full of the pitches small lakes, the river is a strong fresh in which rowing is impossibiep-hrid generally there is no outdoor exercise of any kind to which a young Queenslander can turn himself. About, 200 men are working on an. alluvial find six mile*south of Meriziea’, Coolgardie, with such satisfactory results that many of the minors employed on the reefs at .£4 per week and over have left work to go to the diggings. Ho who is false to present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and will seo the effect when tho weaving of a lifetime is unravelled. The true modo of life is to live more beautifully than the occasions and circumstances of the situation in which you are naturally tend to make you live. You are to create out of yourself a beauty of conduct which your surroundings do not inspire.. ,
