On the contrary, it seems to me from the deposi tions and what I have heard to-day, that your conduct evincesyou were actuated by a cruel mind, and it is fortunate that a charitable neighbor interfered, and tried to stop yonr proceedings. There is no doubt that both the boy and little girl repeiyed gross ilh treatment at your hands, 111-treatment which appears to be altoge ther without justification. Standing in the position which you do to them, it was your special duty to treat them with kind* ness.” The prisoner, who was greatly Affected, was sentenced to two years’ im prisonment.

Holloway's Pills,—Weary of We.— Derangement of the liver is one of the most dangerous of diseases, and the most prolific source of those melancholy forebodings which are worse than death itself. A few doses of these noted Pills act magically in dispelling low spirits, and repelling the covert attacks made oh the nerves by excessive heat,, impuie atmos pheres, over-indulgence, or exhausting excite ment. The most shattered constitution may jfenwstanefit from Holloway’s Pills, which will regulate disordered action, brace the nerves, of theintdlectyal faculties, and revive the failing memory. By attentively tthdymg the instructions for taking these Pills, 'taa explicitly .putting them in practice, the BMXt desponding wfll soon feel confident «c«wry.-H[AdYt' '

MR T, BULLOCK (in conjunction with Messrs Friedlander Bros.), has received instructions from Robert Wilkin, Esq., to offer by Public Auction, at the Arcade, on an early date, A portion of that well-know Property Grove Farm, which is now being divided into Suburban Building Allotments, fronting Carter’s ter race, Graham’s road and Grove Street, and is known to contain some of the most valuable Subur ban Property that has ever been offered to the public in this dis trict, and the locality is everything that can be desired. A large pro portion of the frontages have a northern aspect ; the Land is of first-class quality, and there are many magn ficent Sites for Villa Residences. The road from the end of the bridge (Carter's terrace) is now being fenced on both sides to the Boundary road leading to the main thoroughfare to Long beach. There are also laid off a number of small holdings, facing Graham’s road, which will be found very suitable for paddocks for per sons sending their stock to the County Saleyards, or wishing to procure a small farm near town.



Now that the Tiaffic Bridge is about to be erected, it will be found to be very convenient for persons having their busi ness in Ashburton, and desirous of resid ing in the country, as it is close to the town; but the river being between, affords the same advantage as if they were living some distance away. SPECIAL NOTE. It is doubtful if there is a property in New Zealand offering the same advantages as Grove Farm does. The Land is of the very best quality, and the position could not be improved, lying as it does about midway between the important town of Ashburton and the rising township of Tinwald. At each of these places con* venient Saleyards have been erected, and the large attendance at the weekly mar kets proves that the settlers in the neigh* borhood are fully alive 4o the advantages which these markets offer. Intending purchasers are respectfully invited to inspect the several lots to be offered previous to the sale. T. BULLOCK, 2 203 Auctioneer.
