We cannot insert the letter by “ Creditor” except as an advertisement. We await instructions. We are requested to notice that three horses will be sold at the Clyde Pound tomorrow, at noon, by the poundkeeper. Our Presbyterian friends will be pleased to learn that th e Rev. Dr Stuart will hold Divine Service in the School-house, Clyde, on Sunday next the 20th inst., at 11.30 a.m. By a Dunedin exchange we learn that Mr C. Johnson, the owner of the race horse Sultan, was sentonced last week to a month’s ■ imprisonment for a violent and unprovoked assault on another man. The St. Bathan’s Race Committee notify the 9th and 10th of January as the days of their annual meeting. They also invite tenders for the booth, fruit stall, and other privileges of the mooting. Mr Fache request s> us to draw the attention of speculators rind others to the sale at Cromwell to-day of 'shares in the Reliance Quartz Mining Company, sections in the town of Cromwell and Gladstone, and a small parcel of sundry merchandise. A bookseller at Invercargill, named Rogers, who had taken ott'an “auctioneer’s license to assist him. in disposing of his stock, has been fined’LoO, and costs, for selling by auction after nine o’clock at night. Paying LSO for the license, LSO fine, and other attendant expenses will, we should imagine, leave but little profit for Mr Rogers on his stock, of books. To meet the constantly recurring demand for more reading matter, we have at no inconsiderable expense made arrangement to present our readers from this time forth with a supplement of fourteen columns of closely printed reading matter, of an interesting and instructive character. By an increased circulation we shall hope to be rewarded for our outlayIn another column a ppearsthe preliminary notice issued by the Cl yde Caledonian Sports Committee of two days’ sports to be held during the holidays—Tuesday, December 26th, and Monday, Js.nuary Ist. We have no fear hut that the Committee will provide an attractive programme, or that the stakes will be worth competiing for ; the only thing that will be wanting 'will be competitors, and we must impress, on our local athletes to put themselves in form. The first of the season’s fruits, strawberries and cherries, are now coming into the market in small quantities. Of both kinds the'crop, saving accidents, will exceed all previous years in quantity, the assumption is, therefore, that prices will rule somewhat lower. Among all of the stone fruits there is the prospect of an abundant supply, but of apples and pears, except in some favored instances, there will not be an over-supply. The season, so far, has been particularly favorable for mining, the occasional rains keeping a good supply of water in all the races. Of this the sluicers are taking every advantage, and we shall hope to chronicle between this and the new year some good washings up. While those on the high terraces are benefitted by-the 'extrajsupply of water, those working on the low lying beaches , and terraces of the Molyneux are inconvenienced, as they are unable through the river keeping at so high a level to got any whore near the right bottom. Tiieoat Affections and Hoarseness.— All suffering from irritation of the throat and hoarseness will be agreeably surprised at the almost immediate relief afforded by the use of “Brown’s Bronchial Troches.’ These famous “lozenges” are now sold by most respectable chemists in this country at Is IJd per box. People troubled with a 1 hacking cough,” a “slight cold,” or bronchial affections, cannot try them too soon, as similar troubles, if allowed to progress, result in serious Pulmonary and Asthmatic affections. See that the words “Brown’s Bronchial Troches ” are on the Government Stamp around each box. —Manufactured by John I. Brown & Sons, Boston, United States. Depot, 493 Oxford-street, London.
