Mr quotations,. This is how an Amerioan paper indulges ii a little fun at the expense of the Engiih spariow :-A new aud voracious wonn ■villi a terrible, name tliu Orgyia Antiqua—has been discovered. It is said :o mingle the veracity of tho nanny goat ivitli the invincibility of the torn eat. It

to the public for ihe cure of dyspepsia, indigestion, derangements of various kinds, and as a general family medicine, none have met with such genuine appreciation as Hop Bitters. Introduced to

'lns county but a comparatively shoit time since, to meet the demand for a pure, safo and perfect family mediciue, they have rapidly increased in favor, until they are without question tlio most popular and valuable medicine known. Its world-wide renown is not due to the advertising it has received ; it is famous by reason of its inherent virtues. It does nil that is olainjeil for it. It discharges its curative powers without any nf the evil effects of oilier bitters or medicine, being perfectly safe aud harmless for the most frail woman, smallest child, and weakest invalid to use Few are tho homes iudeed where the great discovery Ims not already been hailed as

a deliverer and welcomed as a friend, It does wbat others affect to do, Composed of simple materials, it is a marvel of delicate and successful combination. Nothing is wanting. Every ingredient

A remarkable fraud by a clork to a worsted merchant is being investigated at Bradford. The clerk, who is a young married man, had been employed as ail additional cashier, at a salary of 30s per week. It was part of his duty to check the accounts of manufacturers, and pay the cheques over; but by a careful manipulation of accounts it is said that he has em-

bezzled money to the extent of between £7OO and £9OO. In one of the fashionable suburbs of the town ho purchased a villa residence, and kept up a good establishment. Ho also

dabbled in shares and stocks, and bought three racehorses, which ho kept in training at Middleham. The

employer, who is a Pole, has, it is stated, determined not to proseoute the defaulter, but take the hoises, the house, and the shares, in order to make the best of the difficulty in which he is placed. The bankrupt stock of boots lately purchased by liapp and Hare, is going off >ery rapidly, ill tho settlers who want bouts ut lubi than wholesale prices should not'forget lo call at the Emporium.— A DVT.

The extraordinary sale of Surplus Winter Stock at Te Aro House, Wellingtonshould bo a matter of some intorest to all readers of the Wairaiupa Daily for these special reason;-, lßt, because ol the largeness of the stock, 2nd, hocause of the .short duration o' the 8 tie, 15 days only, 3rd, because of the unproced; p ,)tedly low pricos. Our price list, issued with this paper, should, wo think, astonish everybody, and very certain it is that a trip to the Bale would bo money in pocket to every Wairarapi resident that should try it. If not able to como, their orders, ■iccompauicd with evsh, would bo as well oxeo-ited as though selected personally. It simply mains 203 for lOj, or ovea Uss in many casus, therefore try it, 0 ye residents, and that right early. Bear in mind that we luve no country businesses whatever, no or,niches in any township, aud no one is authorised to soil for us, either regularly or irregularly. IKe have only one place of business in (he province, and the public would do well to keep this faot in mind when sendiug thoir orders, or visiting Weiington,that our sole establishment in. the colony is that known as JAiir.
