News m Brief.

An important advertisement of Mr Robert Murray, jeweller, will appear to-morrow. Special attention is called by Mr H. M Joncß to his new advertisement ie cheap sheet music m connection with the sale ol pianos and organs now being held. Mr W. H. Collier's " The Corner " adver tisement Bhould be of unusual interest to the ladies, who will be well repaid by a perusal of the announcement Mr Collier makes. The advertisement of Messrs John Orr and Co. is more than usually pictorial, and will be found specially interesting to three classes of people— the angler, the gardener, and the now übiquitous cyclist. But the interest of it is not con6ned to these, an the general public must be interest; d m reduc«d prices for groceries, flour, tea, soap, and kerosene, and the firm announces material reductions m these.
