Miscellaneous. NEW ZEALAND GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY. The position which Campbeltown (Bluff Harbor) occupies as the first port of arrival and last of departure for the steamers carrying her Majesty's English and Australian Mails, as well as its growing importance as a port of call for sailing vessels of large tonnage, and the fact that it is the southern terminus of the New Zealand Telegraph System, and of the Railways already initiated in Southland, which eventually will traverse the whole of the Middle Island, has induced us to establish at this point a General Telegraph Agency. The objects we have in view are threefold : — Firstly. —Receiving and transacting all Mercantile Business in which the telegraphic wire may be called in tc requisition. Secondly. —Supplying the Press throughout New Zealand with the latest English and Australasian Intelligence, including the state of Markets, Shipping, and General News from all parts of the Colonies. Thirdly. —Transacting Telegraphic Business of a miscellaneous character for the public at large. Nell Black, Sole Proprietor, Campbelltown, Bluff Harbor.

CARANGARA BLACK OXIDE OF COPPER POMADE, for the Cure of Baldness, and preventing the hair falling off. —The wonderful property of the black oxide of copper from the Carangara Mine was accidentally discovered by a miner named John Youille, who, after being completely bald for over twenty years, can now boast of as fine a head of hair as ever graced the head of a king entirely through its agency. Since which time it has effected ao many cures of baldness that it has been favourably noticed by all the leading colonial papers, including the " Sydney Morning Herald" and Melbourne "Argus," and has been justly termed " the most wonderful discovery of the day." The New Zealand public have therefore a remedy which, for the cure of baldness and strengthening the hair, has never been equalled ; one of the best proofs of its efficacy is, that since its discovery, a little over twelvemonths, more than a quarter of a million pots have been Bold 1 Bole Proprietor, E.

SEWING MACHINES

The Grove and Baker Elastio Stitch Machines will hem, fell, cord, bind, tuck, gather, quilt, braid, and embroider. They are simple, durable, and not liable to derangement Tbey sew from ordinary reels, and no rewinding of the thread is necessary. They sew with equal facility all fabrics, the most delicate and the heaviest, and with all kinds of thread, silk, cotton, or linen, their seam is so strong and elastio that it never breaks even on the bias. They fasten both ends of the seam by their own operation. Their seam, though cut at every sixth stitch, remains firm, and neither runs or ravels in wear. Their seam is plump and beautiful, and retains its plumpness and beauty after washing better than any other. Their seam can be removed in altering garments, after proper instruction, without picking or cutting them. Watching and varying the tensions upon the threads necessary in other machine, is unnecessary in these. The tensions being once adjusted on the Grover and Baker elastic stitch machine, any amount of sewing may be done without change. They make beautiful embroidery, and are the only machines that both embroider and bow perfectly.

THE GROVER AND BAKER SHUTTLE OR LOCK STITCH MACHINES, which are comparatively new, combine the good points of former shuttle machines with most important improvements, making them the most simple, perfect, efficient, and durable shuttle or lock stitch machines yet introduced. Hence the universal favour and success of the machines wherever known. For all descriptions of oloth or leather work they have no equal. The highest premium over all competitors, both for machines and machine work, were taken by the Grover and Baker Sewing Machine Company in 1863 and 1864, at thirty-one State and County Exhibitions in America, where all the other leading machines were placed in competition. Upwards of 1,000 of these machines are in use in all parts of the world. 7-31

INPORTANT REDUCTION in the prices of the Gospel Oak GALVANIZED IRON.—In consequence of an extension of the works and a great economy in the cost of production, a very important reduction of price, dating from Maach 1, 1867, is made, and this favourite brand will now be found to compete on more equal terms of price with the commoner qualities in the market. Established in 1842, and is the oldest manufacture of galvanized iron in England. Obtained the ODly prize medal in the trade at the Great Exhibition of 1862.
