Reminiscences of Wellington. — In the year 1845 a worthy citizen plodded his way with some difficulty through fern and ti-tree to Te Aro Flat, being in search of the surveyor’s peg which had been driven in at the corner of what is now Cuba and Dixon - streets. Upon this spot was erected a small house, in which a very successful drapery business was carried on by two ladies of remarkable talent and energy, who have long since retired from the scene to the land of tneir birth—- “ Land of the mountain and the flood, Land of brown heath and shaggy wood." In the year 1866 it passed into the hands of Mr. James Smith, the present proprietor, who gave to the premises the appropriate name of Te Aro House, and under whose management business has steadily progressed, with the rising fortunes of the city, until at length it was found that a very considerable enlargement was necessary, and the result was, Te Aid House, as at present, one of the most complete and Extensive Drapery' Establishments in the colony of New Zealand. The General Drapery occupies a large space, being 49 feet by 26 feet, amply sufficient for all Manchester goods, Fancy Dresses, Silks, Gloves, Hosiery, Ribbons, Laces, &c. The Men’s, Boys’ and Youths’ Clothing Department measures 42 feet by 14 feet, and has attached a comfortable fitting-room. Carpets and Household Furnishings have a similar space allotted to them. The Sliow-rooni for the sale of Millinery, Mantles, Jackets, Costumes, &c., is a very spacious apartment, elegantly fitted up, and beautifully lighied from the roof, and measures 39 feet by 22 feet. The stock of,, goods is at all times large and well selected, and patterns are forwarded post free on application. A special feature at Te Aro House, is the Order Department, and very careful attention is paid to the wants of Country Residents. All orders are executed under the immediate supervision of the proprietor, are securely packed i and forwarded to their destination with that promptness and despatch which have always distinguished Te Ajo House, Cuba-street, Wellington.

HOCKIN’S IMPROVED SEIDLITZ POWDER, for immediately producing Seidlitz Water without the slightest trouble. It differs from the Seidlitz powder usually sold in having all the ingredients in one bottle, is quite TASTELESS and may be taken BY PERSONS OF ALL AGES as a cooling BEVERAGE, MILD APERIENT, or BRISK PURGATIVE, according to dose. Its extensive use during nearly half a century proves its superiority over all other Purgative Salines, and the fact that the Powder retains its properties for any number of years if the bottle is kept corked renders it an indispensable necessity to every family traveller, or emigraht.
