NOTABILIA!

— Terrible Slaughter ! Hundreds killed ! Thousands wounded ! Where ? At Professor Gusscott's — not man or woman, but diseases. — Mr D, P. Evans, the well-known Land Agent, has removed to the offices lately occupied by Mr Thorno, next the Herald office, Queen-street. — Messrs Dunne, Hall, and Co. have removed to the premises lately occupied by Madame Bottenelli, opposite McArthur and Co's warehouse in Queen-street. — On Saturday, 15th instant, Mr It. Arthur will hold a sale, at the Lunatic Asylum, of great importance to builders, contractors, and others. A bus will leave the National Bank at 12.45 on the day of sale. —Mr T. Morrin and Mr McGrlauehlan paid a visit to the Lake Takapuna poultry yards, and were so pleased with the excellent stock of Mr D. Robertson that they have given orders for eggs. — Our readers will notice that Messrs J. Cosgrave and Co. have received their large shipment of Summer goods, consisting of the latest novelties in dress and millinery. — On Monday next Mr Gabriel Lewis will hold a large sale of drapery at tne premises of Mr W. Eattray, who is about removing to a new establishment opposite the Thistle Hotel. — A me hi can Waltham Watches were Awarded the Only Two First Prizes at the Melbourne International Exhibition, 1880-81, being Higher Awards than any other Exhibitor received for watches. — On Wednesday, Nov. 9th, at the Lornestreet Hall, Carey's Minstrels will give a grand Ethiopian Carnival and Ball in honour of the natal day of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. The proceeds are to be devoted to the Hobson Company's Band fund. — G-et a- good Rubber Stamp and mark everything you send out. It will pay y©u. Ingram and Co., Hoffman's Buildings, make the best in Auckland. We speak from experience, haying just had one made by them for our own use, and we are well satisfied with it. — Upon the closed shutters of Brandon House, Parnell, the following notice has been affixed :— " This shop is closed." C. W. Goodfion, in thanking his numerous customers for their su]jport, invites them to transfer their jjatronage to the " London Arcade, which increasing business demands nil attention, and prohibits the coutinuence of the branch establishment. — " Don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt ?" " Oh, yes, I remember sweet Alice, but I forget who she bolted, with. I know she bolted with my gold chain, and now I am wearing one that I gave 5s 6d for, and you can't tell the difference." "Where did you get it?" enquired his friend. "Oh, at Singleton's jeweller's shop, corner of Hobson and Victoria-streets, he has plenty more." — The wise men who come to New Zealand generally buy improved farms instead of tackling the labour and expense attendant upon making n, farm entirely out of the waste lands. To-day we call the attention of those in search of a farm to the one near Kawhia owned by Mr T. B. Hill which is now for sale, the owner having relinquished farming for the pestle and mortar again, to which he will devote his whole attention. — The poor fellow who could not get enough to eat after taking one bottle of Crawford's Sarsaparilla Tonic has been well supplied by the benevolent who read the notice in last week's Observer. In fact he has been so well fed that he sings — " Just look at this, just look nt that ! Don't you think I'm getting fat ?" Hurrah for Crawford's Sarsaparilla Tonic ! • — The American Portrait Eooms in Grey-street, are extensively patronised. Mr John Low has had the rooms newly done up, and, being a first-class manipulator, satisfies his patrons in every way ; not only are the portraits extremely well taken,_ but the prices are so reasonable as to j>lace thejn within the reach of all, while the time taken is nothing, as in the course of a few minutes you mh have a dozen portraits handed to you. — This paper has, as its sole and special representative in America for the reception of advertisements and subscriptions, the International Newspaper Agenct. H. B. Hubbard proprietor, New Haven, Connecticut, United States of America, where all the editions of this publication can be found regularly on file, with till other prominent newspapers of the world, and where contracts can be made for all at publishers' best rates. — Marriage. — Marriage is to a woman at once the happiest and saddest event of her life ; it is the promise of future bliss raised on the death of present enjoyment. She quits her home, her parents, her companions, her amusements — the parents by whose counsel she has been guided. Every former tie is lessened. She can iustruct her servants how to make scones and good, bread, as her mother did before her, with Sharland's Baking Powder. This will ploose her husband.* — " Love in a ' Gravrett ' on dry bread and water is better than roast sucking pig in a palace where discord reigns." Right you were, old boy, when you wrote these lines ! I don't believe in the bread and water business, but I do believe in a ' Garrett '—but the ' Garrett' I mean is of the firm of the Messrs Garrett Bros., of Wakefield-street, who keep the best leather; and turn out the best boots and shoes in Auckland. Good material, first-class work, and reasonable prices is their motto. — Trade Mark, Waltham:, Mass.— The American Watch Company, of Waltham, Massachusetts, U.S.A., hereby give notice that their Trade Mark, "Waltham, Mass." is now registered in the Australian Colonies of Victoria, New South Wales, and New Zealand.
