COFFEY. 'VT’OTICE is hereby given to the Catho be public of this colony that, at an extraordinary general meeting of share holders on the 26th inst., alterations have been in the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the “ Colonial Land Set t'ement and Endowment Association of New Zealand, Limited,” which entirely change the first object of the Company, and constitute it a purely Mercantile and Land Settlement Association. Catholics as such have, therefore, no other con- nection with the said Company, than the mere fact of some of them holding shares j in it «s in any other Mercantile Company. What prospects of success the Company may now have I leave others to judge, my opinion and that of all the competent persons whom I have been able to consult, j being that the wisest and safest course for the shareholders is to take immediate Steps to wind up the Company with the least possible expense. + FRANCIS REDWOOD, ( Bishop of Wellington.

They combine Lightness of Draught, Practicability, and Cheapness, and meet the approval of all who have examined them. Over 500 at work in New Zealand since 1880. This Patent Harrow has been awarded First Prize at the recent Exhibition held in Christchurch New Zealand, May, 1882, and the following prizes were also gained after competitions, trials, and testings:— Ist Prize Medal at Taieri Agricultural Show, 1880 Ist Prize at the Mataura Show, Gore, 1880 Ist Prize at the Invercargill Show, 1880 Ist Award of Merit, Ashburton Exbibi* tion, March, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Napier Show, 1881 ■ Ist Prize Medal, Invercargill Exhibition, November, 1881 Ist Prize, Launceston, Tasmania, 1882 Ist Prize for Light and Heavy, Dunedin, 1872 Ist Prize, Gore, 1882 . , Ist Prize Medal, Taieri Show, November, r. 1881 ' . .

The Principal Advantages op this Harrow are as Follows: : It is 25 per cent. Cheaper than any other. - 7 Because of its simplicity, it is more durable. The flexible and spring-tooth working of the Harrows produce a steady Strain, which prevents horses from having sore shoulders. A twelve*foot Harrow can be taken to pieces and put together again by any boy , in five minutes’ time. Every tooth being a component part of the Harrow, the extra labor and expense., of tools, bolts, nuts, threads, shoulder pieces, framework, etc., is entirely done away with. Each tooth acts independently of the others, and will do its work thoroughly over level, rough, knolly, or unevenly ploughed ground. It is the only Harrow in the world that can be taken to pieces in ten minutes, and securely packed in a bag ready for ship ment, or that can be taken to a black smith’s and sharpened, at half the cost of any other. It is the only Harrow in the world that will do its work thorough and well in harrowing crosswise over new ploughed ground, without tuining over the turf. Because of the flexible and spring tooth movement of the Harrow it is im possible for any of its teeth catching against roots or rocks, thereby making it much easier for the team that is drawing ’ it. It is a perfect Chain or Seed Harrow, , . when turned on its back, acting an inch . or inch and a-half in the soil, leaving a smooth surface, 1132 .
