Nbw Boiling Down Company. — It will be, seen from our advertising columns that . a new boiling down establishment has been started at Waipukurau. Ma. Edward Lyndon will sell, this day, household furniture and effects, fche property of James Irvine Esq., who is leaving the colony. Public Papers. — We have to acknowledge receipt of the following: — JournaU and Appendix Legislative Council, 1869, and Appendix to the Journals of the House of Representatives for the same year. The Artksian Well, so spiritedly attempted by Mr. 11. Williams, has, we regret to say, proved a failure. Since we mentioned that the rods had broken off and remained in the pipe, a week has been employed in the effort to raise them, but without avail; and yesterday the attempt was finally abandoned. •The Escaped Prisoners. — Up to last evening nothing had been heard of the two escaped prisoners. Mr. Scully has diligently scoured the coast road, and every. place has been searched where they would be likely to be concealed. It is strongly suspected that the men are being harboured by some person or persons. Steam Mail Services. — Two advertisements calling for tenders for steam mail services, nearly similar in eifect, lately appeared once in the Herald, and our contemporary has noticed the circumstance in order to found an attack on the Government for extravagance. The appearance of both ■was simply a printer's blunder, the order having been that the longer of the two should appear first, and the other after. Spouting. — A match came off last Tuesday on the beach, at low water mark, between Richtirdson's horse, Ninepins, ridden iby Parker, and Focett's mare, Lady Bird, iridden by D. Munn. A good start was •effected ; the mare took the lead after half a mile, and r.ame in an easy winner by about 100 yards. ', The distance ran was a mile and-a-half, and the stakes, we believe, £40 ; in all; No. 2 Napier Land and Building So- - ciety.— -A draxy. of .pharos tonic place last Monday evening, when £500 was balloted for, this making a total'of £700 drawn since the 'commencement of the Society.
