THE ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, SATURDAY/ AUGUST 11. 1883.



Thereis a worthy old settler in the , neighborhood: ;of - Wanganui who has a ',-. brother inScotland, with whom he had . , held; noncommunication for many long years, pmt, It came into his head a few months ago that he would his . brother of his existence by him a Wanganui weekly newspaper, which he accordingly did. By a recent mail ho re ... . . , ceived a letter from his brother in Scot • l*pd, which was calculated to make each f particular hair on his head to stand bold ~ , upright# , The writer, while expressing j : hw satisfaction that his brother was still in the flesh in New-Zealand, went on to . lament that, notwithstanding all his early pious training in the land of cakes, he r should have come down to such a low i)itch, and concluded by entreating the ost sheep to go in for spiritual counsel and ,’’ , 'amendmert, if and* were obtainable in a |.V heathen land like New Zealand. His _,‘l. 1 horror arid surprise at receiving this letter r i i £ssys the Wanganui Chronicle) may be hj-y for, although not an elder of .‘... . AHe Hrk, hois one of our most respected /. andreapectabla citizens. It occurred to . ‘ him that the hideous nightmare was the , , reault of the newspaper he had sent Home ■ and, on his (procuring another copy, he was mortified to find that it contained a Police Court, report in which a namesake ' had been fined for drunkenness ! Ihe mystery was now cleared up, but the vic tim is too much disgusted to write Home to. his brother to explain. There is a coolness between the parties which will re quire a lot of bridging over. . r “ Rough on Rats.”—Ch»rs out rats, mice, v ! flies, ants, bed-Dtiga| beetles, insects, IIM 'skunks, jack-rabbits,, Dmg^ : ; c iiits.

Bankers : - Colonial Bank of New Zealand. Solicitor : J. Bickerton Fisher, Esq. Secretary : > Henry Black. Those who are intimately acquainted with the Alford Forest district are of opinion that this Company possesses the most valuable selections of land for min ing purposes, it being one of the earliest made, and in close proximity to the Pioneer Diamond Company. The Gol conda Diamond Company has a long frontage to a branch of the Ashburton River, and as it is well known that dia monds are usually found to be more plentiful in the vicinity of streams, it is confidently anticipated from the reports already received from the promoters’ pro specting party and from the general for mation of the country, that this claim must ultimately be superior to any other in the district. As there are about 2,000 shares in the company and the area of land is nearly 300 acres, the shareholders may expect immediate returns. Samples have been obtained from the Company’s section by several parties, and been pronounced equal to any obtained up to the present time from the diamond district. Applications for shares, accompanied by a deposit of £1 on each share applied for, to be sent to the temporary offices of the Company, 135, Cashel street East, or to oare of ’ HENRY BLACK, Secretary, 8 266 Box 163, P. 0., Christchurch.
