Mr H. Bullock-Webster's hounds will meet a. Bruntwood, near Cambridge, at 12 noon on Thursday next, iMth insti.

Messrs E. JTitzpatrick, J. Smith, G. F. Dickescn, H. Saulbrey, and Thomas Roper have been elected Commissioners for the Ngaruawabia Town District.

We hear that Mr G. Moon, of Raglan, in view of theapproaching visitors' season, is contemplating making considerab e additions to the Harbour View Hotel. One pound reward is offered by Mr R. R. Ralph for information that will lead to the recovery of a yellow and white spotted steer, supposed to have been driven away by mistake after Cowan and Dnffey's sale, on tho 7th wist. The New Zealand Times says that Colonel Fox, Commandant of the New Zealand Forces, has stated that the noncommissioned offices -are the weak spot in tho volunteer forces in the colony. Tliey neither appreciate their responsibility nor seek to make themselves efficient. It is, we hear, proposed to hold a meeting at Mrs L ivell's Hotel, Taupiri, on Saturday next to take steps for making such representation to the railway authorities as will induce them to re-con-sider their proposal of doing away with the stationinaster at Taupiri, after which the annual cricket meeting will be held.

The fruit-growers, farmers, and other residents of the Te Awamutu and surrounding districts are, by an advertisement in another column, invited to attend at the hall, Te Awamutu, on Saturday next, the Ist October, at S p.m. The next show should he held at Te Awainutu on the 17th March, 1893, and it will be for producers to decide whether or no they will lose this opportunity of keeping Ts 1 Awamutu to the fore.

We understand that the Cherry Grove farm at Whatiuvhata. for so long occupied by Mr J. Charleston, has been leased by Mr W. Laxoti, late of the Tamaki. If our information is correct, the Waipa district may be congratulated upon the acquisition of another pushing settler, Mr Laxon having run a fine dairying business at the Tamaki, and was the recipient— wlion leaving—of a handsome presentation from his former neighbours.

The high prices, which fat stock have of late been bringing in the market, are making things rather awkward for the butchers. Whatever doubt there might ko as to the protits supposed to be made in the butchering business (luring average seasons, there can be very little, now (.hat fat cows run to £7 10s and bullocks up to £12. However, it is time the grazier had an innings, and the good demand for beef is having its etfect upon the values of atoro cattle, which we believe ara higher at present than they have been for years' past.

The special sale of cattle held by Mr W. J. Hunter at Cambridge on Saturday was a graat succo-s. Over 400 head were sold at prices a shade higher than Ohaupo and Hamilton quotations. Dairy cows made up to £5 10s ; and fat cows from £4 to £fi 15s. A great quantity of furniture and produce was sold at the Bizaarat good prices. A horse, buggy, and harness brought £23 ICh ; wagon, £8 ; set of buggy harness, £7 10s. About 20 plough horses and hacks were disposed of at satisfactory prices.

We desire to call the attention of our readers to the advertisement uf the Auckland Patent Bureau, which will bo found in our columns. Tiie proprietor of the bureau is a registered patent agent and solicitor, which is a. guarantee that clients will obtain every satisfaction, and the manager, Mv C. J. Klinsly, is well-known throughout the Waikato. We feel sure that the bureau will supply a felt want, as the proprietor not being a member of the Institute of Patent Agents is at liberty to work at charges much below tlmsa of agent? who are members and are bound to keep up the high fees arranged. A special feature of this patent agency is that inventors arc assisted, either pecuniarily or otherwise, in potting their inventions Uefoie the public. Many goud inventions are annually thrown away in New Zealand simply because the inventors cannot obtain the necessary assistance to introduce their inventions, and this assistance the bureau (where there is merit in the invention) undertakes to provide. The proprietor of the bureau is the only registered patent agent in the Provincial District of Auckland who is entitled to ehatge fees less than those arranged by the Institute of Patent Agents. Mr Elmsiy, as most of our readers are aware, is the senior partner of the firm of C. J. Klmsly and Co., land and estate agents, Coombes' Arcade, Auckland. This enterprising firm otters puichasers ot land an advantage which no other firm in Auckland can d7>, viz., in all sales of prop.rty where the value of the land exceeds fcXOO, they present the purchaser with the title deeds free of solicitor's fees. They also undertake to see to the preparation of wills and the obtaining of probate and letters of adoiioistntion in the estates of deceased poisons at remarkably reasonable rates. Particular at tuition is also paid to the coliocti"n of rent-, interest a' (1 general accnnU ; aK> money doe on life jnsunnre jk>l ieics : u n j uial-o' wills, etc. in fact, all general agency work, and ur.:ch that any other firm of agents attempts, is undertaken by this firm, and we feel sure that our subscribers will be, well satisfied should they entrust any business to thom.

The following names of gentlemen riders who had made application were submitted and passed: — Messrs P. Emerson, J. Tumbnll and O. H. Carter.

The inhabitants of Rotorua evidently do not intend allowing Constable and Mrs Cahill to depart from amongst them without their receiving some token of the esteem in which thoy are held, for we noticed a very massive and handsome gold watch (?nard with medal attached, and |Hd necklet and cross, hanging in Mr R. W. Sargent s window, in Victoria-street, Camon Saturday, and upon inspecting (he articles we saw the following inscription on the modal :-''Piv,so„te'] to Constable T. Cahill, by the inhabitants of Rotorua as a token of respect and esteem on the occasion ol his departure. September 1K02." The nockl"t and cross are for Mr.s Cahill, and we understand the presentation will be made at Rotorua this evening.
