The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1885.

v Mr W. Perry had 50 or 60 sheep wprricd last night, by dogs, several having been killed. This is the third or fourth time quite recently this has happened, and in consequence, lie has laid poison on his land at Ngamatawa.

. Mr J. King, the well-known jeweller, of Cuba-street, Wellington, invites visitors to Wellington during the' Exhibition to inspect his stock before making their purchases, Mr King has a large display, and undertakes all kinds of jewellers' work.

Saturday's regular sale at Messrs Lowes and lorns of furniture produce and sundries, is advertised to ; day in''their column, and consists of a dining room sute in horse-hair, bedsteads, mattresses, taibles, chairs, couches, carpets, matting, lamps, clocks, jewelry, cutlery, drapery, seed potatoes, oats, and sundries. Mr L. Jones, seedsman and fruiterer, of Masterton, has a new advertisement which is ot interest to all who indulge in the luxury of a flower garden or seek to derive a profit from the kitchen garden. Mr Jones notifies that he has received a direct shipment of seeds, pers.s. Wairarapa, and invites a call,

Tho meeetings of the Masterton Borough Council are not as a rule attonded by persons who take an interest in them. In this respect the Council differs from that of Wellington, where tho fortnightly free show generally draws a crowded house. Last night, however, our local Councillors had the pleasure of noticing the presence during tho greater part of the proceedings of three strangers in the "gallery," who appeared to take great interest in the various discussions.

Messrs S. Bacon and Co of the Waipoua mills, have anew advertisements another column, in which they direct specialattention to their saahea, doors, and other prepared timber. They also have a supply of rough timber on hand, and are prepared to undertake contracts for every description of joiner's and carpenter's work. Further than that, they state their readiness to furnish estimates and plans for any building " from a dog-kennel to a mansion." In the second part of their, mill they have a large stock of flour, etc. It will be as well if settlers who are laying poison would comply with the provisions of the law, and give proper notice of the fact. By so doing they will not only escape all risk of being prosecuted, but they will also do a good turn to those of their neighbors who own useful and thoroughly harmless dogs. The other clay Mr Lyons lost a very valuable sheep dog by poison, which, it is believed, must have been picked up quite close to the road. We are informed that poison has recently been laid by a number of settlers in the vicinity of Masterton, owing to damage done to their flocks by a number of dogs that are allowed to prowl about. The Borough Council last night resolved to give the Benevolent Society every assistance in giving work to able bodied men. Stone-braking may not, perhaps, be to the taste of many who seek the assistance of the charitable, but it affords them opportunity of returning equivalents, as the rate of pay is that which is usually adhered to by the Council, By this means the Society should be relieved of one or two persons who have succeeded in puzzling them of late. Applicants will, require a certificate from the secretary, Mr D'Arcy, which they must produce before Mr Croad, the Corporation overseer Our Carterton correspondent writes The rumour that the body of George Buck has been found is incorrect. I saw Mr James Cooper and one or two others who had jusc come from Gladstone, and they say that there is not tho least likelihood of the body being found while the water in the river is in such a muddy state as at present, and further, Mr Cooper says, that the place where it is stated that the body was found would be about eight miles out at sea. I understand that Buck's life was insured for LSOO, in the N.Z, Government Insurance Office.

The Committee of the Mangahao Special Settlement Association met last night in the Temple Chambersto consider the report of the surveyor upon the suitable sito to lay off the township. It was resolved that the secretary write to Mr Marchant and ascertain where the road was proposed to be carried into the settlement from the Forty Mile Bush Road, through the Mangatainoko' Block, and upon receipt of that information the Committee should proceed to the settlement for the purpose of locating the wnsliip. It is the intention of the Committee, as soon as tho township is laid off, to call a meeting of the Association, and recommend to them the dosirability of falling and burning the whole of the township reserve and roads, before the sections are allotted to members, This will be done during the present season, if approved by the members,. The surveyor was granted two months extension of time to completo his work,

Mr F. H. Wood will hold a sale of farm implements, general merchandise, furniture, drapery, poultry, etc., on Saturday next. A stock of jewelry in a bankrupt estate will also b&submitted.

It will be noticed by our report of the proceedings of the Borough Council yesterday evening, that Worksop road is to be formed without unnecessary delay, and that other works to the value of about £3OO are to be undertaken.
