Messrs Lowes and lorns mnko several additions to the entries for their Electaliuna Stock sale, on Dec 19th. Mr George Johnston, storekeeper, of Queen Street, Masterton, notifies by advertisement elsewhere that his great realization sale is being continued, and invites the public to parlic-ipato iu the , bargains that arc being offered. i In reply to ah application that adyant- | age should be taken of the lino rather 1 to prosecute the. formation of the | Makuri-Aohanga main road, and that i the track should be widened and converted into a dray road, the Minister of i Lands states that the money available is ' heiiif; expended as fast as is considered advisable, but the amount at the disl'osal_ of tlio Government will not be sufficient to widen the track at present. 1 The road in question is destined to be ' the main road from Miatua to the the East Coast, It passes through the new township of Pungaron, which is to be sold shortly, taps the Masterton , lieform, and several other Special Settlement blocks, and it will give access for tlio Mount Cerberus and North East i Pukotoi settlers to the seaboard and railway. ; Professor Lichtwark, so well and favourably known in connection with his successful management of tlio horse [ throughout this Colony, gave another exhibition of his system of educating the equine family at the Empire stables yesterday, to an appreciative audience, a number of whom had joined the class for the first time, and many who had previously witnessed the Professor's work, and whenever possible follow his practice. The animal handled was a young colt from Mr W. McKcnzic's and at lirst gave evidence that there was trouble for the trainer, but under his cool, gentle management, the colt was soon led to understand that he was • not to lie knocked about, and ultimately proved very tradable, The Professor carefully impressed upon his class that • gentleness, combined with linn and systematic treatment, was the only sure method of training horses, as they aro rarely found vicious until mado so by those who handle them. After tlio colt had been schooled lo tho satisfaction of all present, the Professor explained the advantages of his patent gear, which lie claims will give tho horse a perfect mouth and will be found indispensible iu every stable. _ We do not suppose that there is a single article of commerce so cosmopolitan in its nature as Casper's Sheep Dip, Practically this Dip is known and used in every part of the globe, where tho gentle sheep plays an important part in the trade of the country, Cooper's Dip has stood (he test of years, and it is to-day used on over 100 million sheep annually in Greatlßritain, the Continent of Europe, North and South America, in the latter country, more particularly in the Argentine, which has mado such gigantic strides of late years in sheep breeding J South Africa and the East, and the last, but by no means tho least in Australasia. In Australia and New Zealand, Cooper's is considered the Dip par cmlkiKc, and the sales in this Colony particularly are annually increasing. For au article to have achieved such a world-wide reputation, stamps it at once as being something beyond the ordinary, and that all the qualities claimed for it arc absolutely genuine, ample testimony is forthcoming everyday. Cooper's Dip can be obtained : from any merchant or storekeeper in this district or direct from the Welling, tou agents, Messrs Murray, llobcrts and Co., who arc prepared to quote iu ' any quantity at the lowest terms.

Their pricss are low. Yes, that has bomethiug to do with tho universal esteem in which Hooper and Co. are held, because the spirit of the age is a commercial ene, and the commercial man, and the woman who is his wife, and the maiden who is his daughter, and the young man who calls hini .'other aro saturated with the commercial notion of gettinu a lot for a little. And so they trade wiili Hooper and Co., at the Bon Maroh6. Thoy sell none but the hest. It is better that one should give a shilling for a good thing than ninepence for rubbish but it the good thing can be boup,ht for nineponce, yea verily it is good for the buyer, and the commercial increase, which is well sprinkled over the Wairarapa, has imbued tho people with this idea, teaching them that to be cheap a thing must be good as ivell as low in price, This can be exemp ifitd by buying at L, J, Hooper and Co's, Bon Marclie. They offer unfold advantages, fheir stocks are more various and better selected than their contemporaries.

" It's an ill wind that blows nobody good, is ap old. saying but none tho less true Whilst tho great depression existing in Sydney at the present time has caused a deplorable amount of misery yet the people of Wellington and the surrounding districts will reap a gigantic bonelit, During his visit to iiydnoy recently, Mr James Smith purchased at absurdly low prices a large stock which is now being sold at the Wholesale Family Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington.
