(From the N.Z.

A Fact Worth Knowing,-In these times of retrenchment and enforced economy, both publio and, private, jiis consolatory to;know, that tlio " wind is' generally tempered to tho shorn lamb," and that th re are few misfortunes without compensating advantages. With money in less abundance its purchasing power is greater-a pound iow mil go as far as thirty shillings in the era of prosperity. As a proof of this, tie readers uf this paragraph need only pay a visit to the large sale of surplus stock at Jam Smith's, Te Aro House, Wellington. A very full and elaborate catalogue of the many large reductions made in the prices of goneral drapery and clothing is enolosed with Satuday'a (July 2nd) issue, and merits a careful perusal on the part of all stationholders, hotelkeepers, heads of families, <md country residents generally. Special opportunities, like the one at present under ■jonsideratinn, occur but seldom; aud it is therefore of importance tlmt the fullest adVantage should be taken of it at the earliest [ period. Te Aro House has always stood well with tlio public as to the undoubted veracity of its advertised prices, and on doubt many country residents have a lively recollection of the satisfactory bargains they secured in the past Equal, if not superior advantages are now being offered. Owing to the unprecedently low rales at which the goods are marked in discounts can be allowed during the sale. A3 an additional attraction, the sale will include a special presentation to each purchaser of £3 worth and upwards of a beautiful chromolithographs picture, mounted on the best white cardboard, size 24 inches by 18 inches. No time should therefore be lost in paying a very early visit to the surplus stock sale at Jame3 Smith's Te Aro House, Weiington.—[ADvr.l
