Wo should not be at all surprised if the result of the poll gives one seat to tho old blood claim and the other to the new. The Bev Nunda Lall Doss, who is passing through New Zealand as the representative of the London Missionary Society, delivered an interesting address in the Presbyterian Churcli last night.

An improved farm of 111 acres with cottage and outbuildings, situated in the Carterton districts advertised by Messrs M. Caselberg & Co., ns being for Bale or for lease. It is accessible by good metalled roads, is well situated for dairy farming or similar use, and liberal terms can bo allowed. Every effort is being wade by iuterestested persons, remarks .the Dunedin Evening Herald to belittle U.W prospects of workmen finding omployipjit in Melbourne. Satisfactory evidence is however forthcoming that in the building trades at any rate work is plenty and wages good. Wo have been shown a 'letter from a well-known former resident here, who is a painter and grainer by trade, formerly in the employ of Mr Lees, in which he says in two days he could have had four jobs, and he did not know which to start on. He determined to go to his former employer at 10s per diem, thfl current rate of wages. _ His aister-in law writes by the same mail to say that all household requirements are cheaper at liew than in Dunedin, except milk which is 5d per quart, bacon, and house rent. How about the consumer paying Protective duties?

Two impounding notices are advertised by the fllaaterfcon poundkeeper. Una rofers to a horso and the other to a cow. Mr Joseph Bennett's record bliows that the total rainfall at Otahauo during tho

month of April was I'4l inches, Tho amount of tho highest noto issued by the Bank of England in tho usual course of business is LIOOO. Tales aro told of mites for LIO,OOO having bocn specially printed for special customers, but they have never, we believe, been authenticated.

Last week a very peculiar accident occurred in a shop in Christcbuvch. In une portion of it light is given by means of a skylight, or rather a glass let in the floor above. A little child belonging to the owner of the-shop by some means strayed on to this glass while unobserved, The result was that the glass gaye way, and the child went through. Had there been nothing to stay the fall of the child, it must have been killed. Fortunately, however, there was a large hook projecting from one of the beams bolow, which is used to hang large carcases of meat on. This caught in the child's clothes, and held it like Mahomet's coffin until it was rescued.—JPelegraph,! The firebell rang an alarm at half past twelve o'clock this afternoon. A chimney fire down by the Waipoua was again the causo of commotion, The redoubtable "Death and Glory" boys and Mr W; Prangnell instituted a bucket brigade and between them, extinguished the flames

Tiuveluxo is much easier and less expensive than it was in the days of the

pioneers of New Zealand. When they wanted to travel it was generally done on "Shanks Pony" and the inducements were not those of pleasure but rather of hard toil. Wo have, however ohanged all that and one of the greatest inducements is now being held out by the proprietor o£ To Aro House, Wellington. What is it; necessarily the purchase of Rive's bankrupt stock of Drapery and Clothing and the determination to sell it at such astonishingly low prices as must command an immense amount of travel by coach, railway and steamboat to the centre of attraction Tc Aro House Wellington, Where is it; At Te Avo House, you may be sure as it could hardly be elsewhere that you could possibly obtain such remarkable bargains as you will doubtless secure at the Te Aro House sale of Hive's Bankrupt Stock.

Wiieh is it; on Monday, Tuesday the lirst of May—We shall then at 10 in the morning commence tho sale of this stook of ltive's which comprises a lot of good sound useful Drapery and Clothing, and the public may take our woid for it that there is not a particle of rubbish among the various lots that will bo offered for sale on Mayday at ftt Te Aro House, Wellington. If you want bargains such as you never yet dreamed of in Dresses, Mantles, Millinery, Calicoes, Sheetings, Blankets, and Men's Boys' and Youths' Clothing do not fail to make a bee line for the scene of sale or if you cannet do that, come by steamboat coach and railway, your fare will be a matter of no moment when compared with the advantages you will gain at the sale of Hive's bankrupt stock at Te Aro House, Wellington, -Advt,
