Public Notices. IMPORTANT TO SQUATTERS. MESSRS. G. D. LOCKHART & CO. having been appointed Solo Agonts for 1 the Sale of Messrs. IS. HERI*ULE WICZ & Co.'s GALVANIZED,. STRAND WIRE, beg to inform the ' public that assaying of £22 la is effected to every 3,200 lineal yards compared with the cost of solid black'wire, so extenaively advertised as the most desirable fencing wire. The undermentioned faots will prove the contrary.

compabativb cost of oub_ fencing and that with Solid Wibb :— One ton of our Fencing will make 3200 lineal yards (1 mile and 1440 yarda) of Fenc- • ing with five Horizontal Wires at £27 per ton £27. 0 0 But to make 3200 lineal yards of Fencing, with five Horizontal Wires of No. 5 Solid Wire requires 2 tons 13 owt. at £12 per ton ... ...£3l 16 O

Therefore the cost of 3200 yards of Solid Wire Fencing delivered f.o.b. in this country is above ours £4 10 0 Freight to the colony on 3200 lineal yards of our FencingOne ton at say £2 7a 6d per ton £2 7 6 Do do on say 3200 yards Fencing with Solid Wire 2 tons 18 cwt. at £2 7s6d ... £6 5 10

Therefore the cost of freight of 3200 yards of Solid Wire Feno- v., . ing over oure is .... £d lo 1 The erection of 3200 yards of our Fencing, say at 2d per yard ...£26 13 4 Do do of 3200 yards Solid Wire Fencing afeßd per yard ...£4O 0 0

Therefore the cost of erection of 8200 yds of Solid Iron Wire Fencing over that of , ours is ... ... £13 o o Total Saving on 8200 yarda of Fencing ... 1 0

So that our Improved Galvanized Wire Fencing, with fivo Horizontal Wires, erected in the Colony ia cheaper than the Solid Wiro Fencing by the sum of Twenty-two Pounds Ono Shilling on every 3200 lineal yards. Beyond this, there ia the question of Inland Carriage in the Colony, which on the Solid Wire Fencing will be nearly three times that of Strand Wire Fencing. . Our Fencing will last from forty to fifty years, against ton to fifteen years, tho extent of the durability of the other. Tho great heat during the day, and the damp during the- night, cause the ungalvanized wire to rust and decay rapidly. We have contrasted our Galvanized Wire Strand with No. 5 Solid Wire, because it is fully equal in strength to that gauge (the wireof which tho Strand is composed toeing ot the, very best quality.) Nos. 6, 7, and 8, Solid Wire of inferior quality and very brittle,

ia aometimes shipped, which, while not so cheap aa the Galvanized Wire Strand, is much weaker—won't stand so much strain, and will not last m_ch oven ten years. _ _ E. H-BNtJLBWICZ & Co. Qr. D. LoOKB_tBT & Co., ojv - Agents.
