was nofypfeieut, but he (the Mayor) had taken the earliest opportunity of bringing%he matter before them. Crs. Peat afw-McGa'rrigle were of opinion that the' maker, inasmuch as it related to things, tha&had occurred outside the council, shjraid not have been brought up at the meeting. To this opinion the Mayor disseuted, saying that when he or any other member of the council was assailed he considered it his duty to bring the subject prominently before the council. It t was a question upon which he would exercise his own discretion. The matter then dropped. Mr C. W. Sanders, Parnell, writes to the Herald :— " Wishing to add to a "curate's vinery," I thought how to devise a cheap form which may be of some interest to your readers. — Take a piece of 3 by 2, saw it into two-feet lengths. Lay two of these lengths at right angles to each other, and join them at the angles by halving them in, and nailing them firmly. These are to form the end , pieces. Next take a 14 foot plank, 6 by 1, tongued and grooved. Saw into seven-foot leugths, rip the tongning off of one piece, leaving it four inches wider than the other piece, the tonguing to be ripped off, leaving it five inches wide. Nail the four-inch piece on to' the angle of the two end pieces, then bring the five-inch piece on the opposite side, so as to make a ridge boavd joint, having the grooved edges downwards. Then measure 15^ inches below, which will be about the place to nail on the lcwer boards, grooves upwards. You can then push the gla3S, 16 by 12, in the grooves which will hold it in its place withont further trouble. The ends can be filled in to within about four inches of the top, or left open as requited. The frame stands upon bricks, with the interval of a brick between, the vine being trained beneath. My vine .cane, second year of hearing, was this spring about eight feet long, from which I have had about 20 bunches of grapes, a speciman of which can be seen in Messrs Hesketh and Aitken's window. A seven-foot length can be added year by year. Annexed is the quantity of material necessary for five tiames, making a total of 35 feet in length by 30 inches in width at base. Timber, 40 feet 3 by 2, 10 14 by 6 by 1, tongued and grooved. Case of glass, 16 by 12, 0s 6d, six pounds of paint and a few pounds of stout two-inch wire nails.

Mr J. Walton, Te Awamntu, invites tenders for the leasing of the farms of Messrs. Neill and Slater in that locality. Mr W. J. Hunter, Ohaupo, notifies that he has taken out an auctioneer's license from the Waipa County Council. Mr H. Buttle, Ohanpo, lias for disposal the grazing of 50 acres of Swedes. The clerk to the Piako County Council notifies the place whcie the rolls for the various ridings of the county maj now be inspected. Mr John Knox announces that he will hold weekly sales in the Hamilton Auction Matt, commencing on Saturday, the 29th inst. The programme of the Hamilton West School ehildi en's concert, w.hich takes place in the Public and Volunteer Hall, on Tuesday next, appears in our advertising columns. The new pure cash system now being initiated by G. and C. will certainly pro\e a benefit 'to the public. It has been a great success in Sydney and Melbourne, and when strictly earned out the customer who buys .it an establishment wheic the goods aie marked low to ensure a lapid sale must be a groat gainer. G. and C. sell their draper), millinery, and clothing at such prices fot cash as> gi\ cs the buyci the advantages of a shareholder' in a co-operative society, without the risk of being called upon to bear a. portion of the loss should the jear's business pro\c unsatisfactory. Garlick ami CrarnuU will aim to retain the confidence which the public have hitherto shown them, and are determinou 1 to give the pure cash system a fair trial; whet) cr theyg.ainor lose thefirst year Country buyers on remitting cash withordet will be supplied witl goods at co-opcratve prices ; just the same as 'hough they made apersonalseloction.
