Steam Firo Engine, and for tho construction of the unmado roads within the Borough.; The honorary ranger to the Welling, ton Acclimatisation , Society,.

During the past season , several fine, stags had been shot, one especially by a rabbiter named McDonald, ui the employment of Messrs Beetham.. Ho.understood Mr H.' H. Beethani iritonded to send it to the Melbourne Exhibition, . - The Times reborts that' Mr B. Meroditli and Mr Stuart-Montoath. .M.H.R;, waited on the Minister of Lands yesterday and presented a petition signed by a number of Wairarapa residents, praying that the Government would riot adhere to' their intention .of removing Mr Orboll, sheep inspector, from the Wairarapa to Waiau (Southland). The petition pointed out that Mr Orbell. had done a great deal of valuable work'fiir the especially in connection with abating the rabbit nuisance. Mr Eichardson, Living heard tho deputation, informed them that ho could not see his way to givo effect to the prayer of the petition. The other changOß proposed in this department aro also, we understand, to be carried out. The London correspondent of the Lyttelton Timea-writes:-"Mr W. L, Roes,ofQisborae, arrived in Lund m about August 4, to push his great scheme of settling '<450,000 acres ot land near Gisborno under his proposed 'co-opera-tive colonisation' plan. Since his arrival he has been interviewing all sorts and conditions of men about the matter and is sanguine that he will be successful in interesting the Brrtish Oovernmont in the business. Be proposes to float a great Colonising Company so as to provide the necessary capital, and then all is to be plain sailing. The practical, common sense portion of his plan I have not yet Been, but the.prospect is is to be ready shortly. Wi Pere, the well-known Nativo chief, has also arrived, with an interpreter, to assist Mr Bees, and the two assert that if the Gisborno scheme is successful the King country will likewise be opened out for colonisation. ' Mr Bees, I may mention, is also about to publish a work on political economy, entitled 'Colonisation, the Salvation of the United Kingdom." He has arrived here at an opportuue moment, because tho British Governmentare most anxious to find .suitable outlets for the surplus population of this country, and are net disinclined to provide funds for tho purpose of assisting certain clasies to emigrate,"

Mr. Fahran, Stanley's Syrian interpreter, has arrived in London.' He reports that ho . loft Major Barttelok's camp at Arnwhimt three days beforo the latter was murdered. He confirms the statements already made respecting Major Barttelot's cruel and tyrannical conduct towards the mtin. Stanley, on the other hand, was always considerate to the members, of. his partv, and had strongly enforced on the other leaders the necessity of oxeroising kindness to tho natives, • Mr. Fahran says that Major Barttelot's erue'ty to the men commenced as soon as Stanley left, and brought on him the hatred of Tippo Tib, who seized eyery opportunity to obstruct him in all possible ways. - Mr. Fahran believes that Stanley has reached Emm Bey, but admits there is ground for anxiety regarding him. The London press oppose any further expeditions, on the ground that already too mauy valuablo lives, and a considerable amount of money have been sacrificed in Central Africa. The latest telegraphic news from the Goldfields is that a regular rush has set into Waikokaho. The whole of the main creek is pogged off to the flat, There are, however, numerous branches, and the'flat is a very extensive ono. Several havo left "good things," at Mahakipawa, and as far as can he seen at preeunt, tho new field promises to be a very extensive ono, and there will now be room for some more on the eld field, where maguificeut goU is being got. Stores, &c., are going up at the naw rush, Suttonville, and from Blenheim, Havelock, Picton, and surrounding districts, numbers have gone, and it will prove a difficult task to keep the sawmills and other ordinary businesses going, With regard to the reefs, there is little doubt now that some of the areas pegged off aro very rioh.. Without expressing an opinion one way or the other myself. I may stato that there is a unanimous apposition almost among the miners to tho granting of 30-acre leases, and the whole of the areas applied for on the main reef havo been pegged off in 100 ft claims. Wero tracks out, the whole of the auriferous district from Jackson's Head to the' Wakamarina would be developed, and carry a large population. Miners aro arriving from Reefton and olsewhere daily, Still later news says the movement towards Wakamarina continues. No operations are going on yet, but 'alluvial woikore will be at it in a day or two,

11 1 Don'x Want That Stuff,"—ls what a lady of Boston said to her husband when he brought home somo medicine to cure her of sick headache and neuralgia, which had made her miserable for 'fourteen years.. At the first attack thereafter it was. administered to, hor with such good results, that she continued its use . till cured, and was so enthusiastic, in-its praise, that, sho induced twenty-two' of the best families in licr circle to adopt it as their regular family medicine. That "stuff" is Dr Soule's American Hop Bitters. Standard ut Women JNrver Think, '—lf the crabbed old '.bachelor who uttered this sediment could, but witness tho iptepße thought; deep study and thorough investigation of women in detcriniuing the best medicines to keep their families well, and would nolo their sagacity and wisdom in selecting Dr Soule's American Hop Bitters as the best, and demonstrating it by keeping their families in perpetual health; at a mero nominal expense, he would bo forced to acknowledge that such sentiments aro basoless and false.
