Through tho agency of Er John Mynott of this town, Taranaki has jus* been well advertised at Hon . h came about in this way. Mr is the agent in Taranaki of a very useful organisation called the "Church Emigration Society." A Society which has for its main object to promote the I spiritual and temporal welfare of emigrants, and to encourage closer communication between the clergy at Home, and the colonial clergy iu tho interests of emigrants. The Society collects information for the use of

envgrants, arranges for their passage", in certain cases assis'iog with money, arranges for the protection of women en route, and through its agents in the colonies promotes their interests on arrival at their destination. The President of the S :ci<?ty is the Bishop of London, the treasurer v *ir Thomas Salt, and the secretary Mies K. Grimes, By the hat mail Mr Mynott received *' Utter from Mies Grimes, asking if there are any good openings for young men or women wishing to e.miomta tr,

New Zealand, and in concluding her letter Miiß Grimes Bays : " This is thfbest time of the year for those wishing to start for New Zealand, but just now there are few wishing to emi-wte and the bulk of thobe emigrating this year have chosen to go to Canada, It is now, however, too late (o think of Canada this year, and X should therefore like to hear from yon what openings offer in New Zealand." The Society also publishes a little four pagrs monthly journal, a copy of which is sant and which we have now btfore us. It is full of exceedingly interest ine information about the various fields offering for emigrants, and it hs.s a very large circulation. The cumber before us under the heading « New Zealand's great dairy ing centre," has the

following :-"lVew Plymouth, the greatest dairying centre in New Zealand, is one of the finest type of pastoral towna which are so marked a, feature of this colony of New Zealand.' As the capital of Tsranak l ', among the | richest grazing districts in the world, it has floutished amazingly since the introduction of the factory system msde it possible for farmers to send dairy produce over the seas to the world's markets. The dairymen of Taranaki

now export via !New Plymouth, something over £400,000 of butter alone. The prpvinee has an area cf two and a-half millions of acres. While only a quarter of this land is in grass yet it carries 224,370 cattle, 18,821 hdrseF, 564,362 sheep, ana 20,249 swine, as striking a trihute to the lichneLgof the ' soil as one could desire. New Plymouth has flourished amazingly durirg the last five years, and as there is still a'very large area of fertile country in Taranski available for settlement, the town is likely to continue its prosperity, for population js bound to be ajr.racied to that vast extent of rich Taranaki soil which lies towords the borders of Auck-

land. New Plymouth historically is interesting, it having been a military centre dut iog the Maori wars. Considered from a picturesque point of view, an: as a place of residoncs it is mrst attractive. The westward border of the town is the black sand Pacific beaob, and inland towering to the majestic height of 8300 ft. is the noble extinct v .lano Mount one of the most per feet mountain cones in the world. The New Plymouth Recreation Grounds are a charming feature cf the town. Thgrounds, which extend over forty-six acres are mostly in their natural state, there being delightful httla forests ol native trees and shrubs bordering two picturesque lagoons, on the wattes of which are to bo seen black and white swans, and an abundance of wild ducks There is also an abundance of trout. The beauties cf the sea coast and th< town bordering on it can be comfortably viewed from Marslacd Hill, which was ones notable as the place of the soldiers' barracks, and which still retains one of I '.he famous cannon used in the old war (times. The advancement of New Ply-1 1 mouth is shown by the good diss on, buildings, both business and prjyats*,

residence!*, which bavi gone up in the pa-.ii; few years. Thore is evidence *hat the steady growth of tho Sown is likely | to continue, as ovou now residences are hard to obSiia and thoa only at very high prices. New Plymouth can tab) its place, too, with tin larger centres of the colony for railway iinprovemnnts, thero now being finished, and in working (;v,ler, a most complete station, shs.ds, and roomy shuntim.' yards. !'.i'h-j butter ti'fide of (ho province has it\ la great measure been responsible for .the advancement of New Plymouth, a* in tho psst, and until quite ivcsntly,' the only outlet was via this port, bu; since the grading works at Patea have' bern in existence (for about eighteen months) there has h,en a division, the* southern put of tb••• -h.ir produce via PaVa.
