An Auckland stamp dealer recently bought a collection of a few Australian stamps for a few shillings, thinking that they would not be much good. The next day, as he was going through them, he came across a green lid. stamp. In each bottom corner there was the symbol “IJd." He looked at it again, he caught up his magnifying glass, he hurriedly placed the* stamp in a bath of chemicals to bring out the watermark, then taking down his philatelist’s bible he looked up the stamp. It was a stamp in which one lid. was slightly bigger than the other, therefore it was worth £l5.
It was stated at the monthly meeting of the Featherston County Council on Friday that receipts for the month totalled £94911/1/0. Ranger J. Crawford reported having dealt with 33 head of stock in August, while Hanger J. Houlistou dealt with 17.
