AUCTIONEER'S REPORT.

-isr-~T; Bullock reporte for the week ending Saturday, Oct. 15th, as fol ows :— Theie w»a a fairly gtod attendance of farmers and other country settlers, but biddings were slow, nevertheless a large proportion of the entry was aold at slightly reduced prices aB given below. I offered on account of Mr Sibbaid his draught entire " Young Caßtlereagh,' six years old ; also the entire thorough bred " Athlete." But biddingo not reach ing owners' limits, they were both paused m? Since the sale I have sold " Athlete » privately at owner'e reserve ; aud ther* are offers made for 'Young CistlerergV' which 1 have no doubt will lead to a sale Out of the ordinary entries eleven were sold aa follows :•— Medium draughts, of five and six years eld, of a fairly good •temp, £22 to £23; ditto, of rather a lighter description. £15 to £17 10i ; three jesr^ old, rather light, £16; light harness horses, £6 15i to £8 ; hacks, £3 15a to £4; ecrobbita at low 'rates.

DEEDS, NOT WORDS.

THAT-Major Alkinson is not sincere m his professions as to the necessity fot thorough and substantial retrenchment may be safely inferred from his actions so far. In ihe first place, when con structing his Cabinet he passed over Mr Scobie McKenzie— -the most outspoken, thorough-going, and consistent advocate of retrenchmenl of all those who fought its battle on the hustings. No doubt his views on the subject were too ultra radical for the Major, who doubtless foresaw that they would contrast un favorably with his own actions when he came to deal with the subject. In the next place, m spite of his own declaration that during the reign of depression no Cabinet should com prise more than five Ministers, he de liberately appoints the old number. And, then agaio, only the other day he and his colleagues appoint a batch of private secretaries — one for each Minister. This we regard as more in excusable than the Major's bieach oi faith, respecting the number of Minis ters, and certainly affords grounds for doubting the sincerity of their professed desire for Civil Service reform. The practice of each Minister having a private secretary is a newly-acquired one. A few years ago only the Premier used to have a private secretary. Then the Colonial Treasurer found one indis pensable, and so did the Native Minister, and so it went on until it became the fashion for each Minister to be provided with a private Secretary. Now, we regard private secretaries as expensive luxuries which can very well be dispensed with, save m the case of the Premier, the Colonial Treasurer, and, perhaps, the Native Minister. They are paid good salaries, and are allowed travelling expenses, and m a period when the strictest economy is so urgently required, we were m hopes that the new Ministry would prove the •sincerity of their professions by doing away with private secretaries, except where absolutely indispensable. Had they done so, they would have saved the country a large sum, and inspired confidence m the present Administra tion. From the Premier's actions so far no favorable auguries can be dtawn ._ that, when the protracted process of in cubation, shall have been completed, and his financial proposals fully evolved, bis policy will commend itself to a majority of the present House of Representatives. The Premier is at the top of the class of wary and wily tacticians, but m this instance we think he has made a great mistake m allow ing such unmistakeable evidence of the presence and power of the "Old Leaven " to be discernible. Let the House get but one fatal " sniff" of this and the fate of the Ministry is sealed.

We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long i course of this time manufactured certain 1 Medicines that being based on soientifio 1 formula and absolnte care and precision . m manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity i far m advanoe of any other Pharmaoeutl- , oal Preparations of the day.

We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pills. The reason of this de- mand is because we find m Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra > ordinary combination of oonoentrated ' medicine.

A Lady's Wish



— If you are a frequenter, or a resident — of a miasmatic distriot, banicade your — system against the scourge of all — countries Malaria, Epidemic, Bilious — and Intermittent Fevers by tho use of Hop Bitters. — — I



" If you are sick with that terrible sfck. ness, Nervousness, you will Gnd a ' Balm In Gilead' m Hop Bitters 1 1 !1"



If you are wasting away with any form of Kidney disease, stop tempting death this moment, and turn for a cure to — Hop Bitters.



If you are opstive, or dyspeptic, or suffering from any other of the numerous diseases of the stomaoh or bowels, it is your own fault if you remain ill.



iaP'Or if you are m the workshop, on the "farm, at the desk anywhere, and feal "th*t your system needs cleansing, toning, or 'stimulating, without intoxicating ; if you are 'old, blood thin and impure, pulse 'feeble, nerves unsteady, faculties 'waning, Hop Bitters is what you need to 'give you new life, health and vigor!"



°If you are suffering from over-eating or drinking, any indiscretion or dissipation, or are young and growing too fast, as is often the case. — — —



Prosecute the Swindlers! If when you call for Amorioan Hop Bitters (gee green twig of Hopt on theMhito label and Dr SmiZe's name blown m the bottle), the vendor handß out anything but American Hop Bitters refuse it and shun the vendor as you would a viper ; and if he has taken you money for anything else indict him for the r&ud and sue him for damages for the swindle.

" Oh how I .do wish my skm was as clear, fair and soft aa yours," said a lady to her friend. " You can easily make it bo," answered the friend. " How ? " inquired the first lady. "By using Hop Bitters that makes pure, rich blood and blooming health and beauty. It did it for me, as you observe." 1 I



If you have rough pimply or sallow skin, bad breath, Hop Bitters will give you fair skin, rioh blood, the sweetest breath and health. $500 will be paid for a case they will not core or help — — —



Warning and Comfort i ! ! •' If you are Buffering from poor health or . ' 'languishing on a bed of sickness, take cheer, •if you are simply ailing, or if you feel 'weak and dispirited, without 'dearly knowing why, Hop "Bitters will surely onre you. If you are a minister, and have overtaxed 'yourself with your pastoral duties, or a 'mother, worn out with care and work, or a 'man of business or labor, weakened by the 'strain of your everyday duties, or a man of 'letters toiling over your midnight work, Hop ■Bitters will most surely strengthen you.



£500 will be paid for any case that American Co.'s Hop Bitters will not cure or help. Doubt not. See Heating's Powder destroys both fleas, moths, beetles, and all other inseots, while quite harmless to domestic animals. In eztermi- ' nating beetles the success of this powder is extraordinary. It is perfectly clean m appli- cation. See the artiole you purchase is Heating's, as imitations are noxious and ineffectual. Sold m tinß, 6d, Ib, and 2s 6d eaoh by all chemists
