The “ Ticket-of-Leave Man” has not been a success financially, as shown by the balance-sheet, published in another column —£3 edds remaining to be met by the Company. This is to be regretted, only for the sake of the cause the Com pany espoused, but because the merits of the players, and the enthusiasm they ex hibited, deserved better success. It is un derstood, however, that another perform ance is contemplated, when an opportunity will be given to the public to help both the company and the cause for which it appeared.

Sale of a Farm and Stock. -—We call attention to the sale of Mr. Walter Lawry’s Seafield farm,' with, the live and dead stock, advertised in another column of this issue. From a personal knowledge of the property, we can highly recom mend it to. i the attention of any one requiring a highly-improved and desirable estate. We have been requested to call attention to an error in this morning’s issue of our local contemporary, whereby the property is referred to as Mr. F. Law rie’s. The latter gentleman’s holding is in a different locality, and is not for sale. The Bankrupt Gleich.— Recently a man named Gleich was apprehended in Wellington for taking French leave of his creditors in Adelaide. Amongst his effects were sixteen diamond rings and other jewellery, and he had paid £IOOO towards the purchase of a Wellington hotel.? , The Judges have now dismissed him, finding that the Legislature had not the power claimed under the Foreign Offenders’ 'Act,. and Gleich’s extradition cannot, therefore, take place. He has therefore been re leased, and all his property returned to him, including the sixteen diamond rings.

Verily it is better to be born lucky than rich. A friend of mine had a lady-love, a girl very fair to look upon. They sat together as the shades of evening softly fell around them, the gentle vesper breezes harmonizing with their blissful sighs—like two bloated cod-fish suffering from a satiety of shrimps. The lady was called away to spank a younger brother —the mart strolled out on the verandah to cool his love-fevered brow. I innocently sank into the seat vacated by the male mon ster ; the female angel returned, wrig gled up on to my knee, and two suc tion slaps, even like unto the explosion of a draper’s paper bag disturbed the stillness of the night air, and suffused my. face with blushes. I don't think there was much harm in the girl; it may have been a mistake.

Clause 23 provides expressly 4' that the valuation lists of counties shall be deposited within the counties ; instead of which, the whole of the county valuations have been gazetted.
