The Okaiawa correspondent of the Hawera Star writes that paper as follows: —Potatoes are abnormally cheap just now.

Kapai buy the cow, make £5 one day." An unusually large quantity of wheat has this season been sent from Lyttelton to other New Zealand ports, Auckland and Nelson especially taking large lines.

This should be an opportunity that hawkers, store" keepers, heads of families and others should not let pass without securing some of the many bargains that will be offered,

Messrs. Hoopor & Co., of the Ton Marche Drapery Warehouse, are well known for giving the public the very best value in all kinds of Drapery and' Clothing in Masterton and the opportunity that they are now offering at their gigantic Sale should be a great boon topurchaaen.

Our readers are reminded byjadvortisement that Pearce's great tfMtofks Boot Sale is now ou, and from he has been received on this his third visit to this district, we should say he ia just as popular as ever.

A charming display of well-executed photography is to be Been in the vestibule and show-room of Messrs Wriggles worth and Biniifl, WiliisSt,'Wellington, at the present time. Visitors even from the leading cities in the worVybdmuoh to admire in the selection and highly artistic draping and general ar nngement of the subjects iu the gallery is in exquisite taste. The firm, ever enterprising, makes | a special announcement to our readers in | another column which deserves perusal. We wish to direct onr readers' special. attention to the interesting particulars expressed in a clear and' attractive mai.ner in a series of notifications in another column concerning the vegetable modicineß of the Bev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert, of Jerusalem, on this Wanranoi River. These remedies are introduced to the notice of the general public only after they have stood a complete test and have proved of the utmost service, in innumerable cases of illness and also of benefit ini debility. The personal testimony as to the sterling nature of Sißter Aubert's preparations come from such reliable j sources that its genuine worth cannot be disputed, and the letter of Archbishop Redwood (published elsewhere) is only a just tribute to a deserving series of discoveries in the field of pure vegetable medicine. Messrs Kempthorne, Prosser and Co., the wholesale agents, are really rendering a service to" sufferers in so thoroughly introducing suoh valuable remedies throughout the country, and they may reasonably anticipate a very large sale for them. The following are tho various preparations, and they may be obtained through all local chemists; —First there is Paramo, which is a splendid medicine for complaints oi the liver and kidneys, then there is Marupa which cares asthma, coughs, and all bronchial affections. Next comes Natanata, to prevent and cure diarrhoea, vomiting, and general sickness, while the last to be mentioned, Earana, is a most excellent tonic, giving splendid tone to tho stomaoh. Those who are unwell in any of these respects should certainly at any rate give the medicines the ordinary fair play of a trial. The cost would be slight, and pure vegetable remedies which are eminently calculated to do good could not at the very worst do any harm.
