Every year tbis valuable almanack shows marked improvement, and we niust congratulate tbe publishers on this evidence of success.

Tbe Star Almanack for 1887, a copy of which has been sent us, is a very neatly printed and somewhat bulky publication containing a larsre amount of information on all sorts of subjects. It should ensure a large sale, and we hope the enterprising proprietors will be recouped for the outlay they must bave gone to in tbe getting of it up.— Taranaki Herald. We bave to acknowledge with thanks tbe receipt, from tbe publishers, of a copy of the Star Almanack. It is impossible to give anything like an adequate idea of tbe real utility of the work, for it contains 261 pages of matter, exclusive of advertisements, and every papre conveys some useful information to the reader. In fact it is r.ipidly becoming a settler's wide mccum, and can give points to any almanack publisbed on this coast.— Patca Bliul.
