Application has been made for a dispensation for au Oddfellows Lodge at Mangatainok i. Tho Lodge will open with about 20 members.

It is only fair to those who sent in competitive d -signs for the bridge over the Mangatainok a river to state that the bridge was to be designed for erection at the upp r site of the road—that is, on the town sale of the river.

Mr R. Smith, of Onslow Park, is a thorough believer in the advisableness of keeping only the best of stock. He is already the holder of a number of prize certificates won by his exhibits at various shows, and is still increasing his pure-bred stock.

Ono of the ewes held the champion prize for that district for some years.

Messrs Abraham and Williams add to their sa'e list for the 20th inst., 500 shorn lambs, 4 Romney ram 1 ?, 10 fat steers.

Further letters have been received from settlers at the “ New Australia ” settlement in Paraguay. They describe the recent ejection af several members for breaking rules as resembling in many respects an Irish eviction. Subsequent to the evictions, offi isl notice y/as posted intimating that families desirous of leaving the settlement would be allowed £6 5s for man and wife, half that amount for each child, and that single men would receive £4 16s. Fifteen married couples and 17 single men accepted the offer, and removed their belongings from the settlement. The people who left bad paid in about £I6OO, and on leaving received something under £3OO. Those persons who left the settlement, numbering in all about 81. are now r esembled at Villa Rica, and have laid their situation before the British Consul.
