INGLEWOOD.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) The clearing salt! carried out 'by Mr. Newton King's Inglewood branch on account of Mr. W. A. Burrell at Kaimata 011 Monday last drew a large attendance. Besides residents of the immediate neighborhood, there were present buyers from as far distant as the Waikato, as well as all parts of Taranaki. The district has of late earned a name for the quality of th ; ; dairy stock raised hero, which no doubt brings outsiders to the sales held here. Taken all through the sale was a very good' one. The farm implements, horses, and sundries sold at good prices all round. The sheep realised well up to late ruling rates, 2-tooth ewes fetching 29s Id, 4 and C-tooth up to 32a 2d, 2-tooth wethers 27s (id, rams 355, and lambs ISs Brt. Empty lieifers sold lor £7 Is up to £8 17s, forward steers £9 Is, 2j-yenr steers £H 8s 6d. The three Jersey cows made £lO2, an average of £34. It is hard lines to get knocked out after forty years' experience of all kinds of bush work without serious accident. But that is ivliat happened recently, in the bush near Ohakuue, to Mr. M. Sattler, a sori of one of the earliest, settlers in the Moa district. :vir. Sattler was, at the time, working for the Feilding Sash and Door Compuiy, and by some means got his left ankle severely crushed between a logging chain and a stump. He says there are no bones broken, but his medical adviser has insisted on a period of rest cure to restore to him the proper use of his foot, so he has returned to his old home, where, some twenty years ago, his was a familiar figure among-st us, and where his brothers are amongst our wellknown settlers. His many friends amongst the old-time residents of Inglewood will wish him speedy restoration to health, knowing, as they must, how irksfome to such a man as he a life of enforced inactivity must feel.
