EDEN ELECTION.

NOMINATION AT NEWMARKET,

The nomination of members (2) to serve in the Provincial Council for tho electoral dis trict of Eden took place at noon to-day at the Toll-house, Newmarket. There was very little excitement, and in consequence of the wet weather, probably there were very fey persons present. Shortly after the hour named the Returning Officer, R. C. Bastow, Esq. R. M., read the writ and election notice, and called upon any qualified electors to nominate two candidates.

Mr John Lundon proposed Mr Beveridge as a fit and proper person to represent the district, saying he sat with him for the past four years in the Council, and could say that, what ho would not say of any other member, he had voted for the reduction of the salaries of his own constituents—the Gold fields officials. As it was a very wet day, and very few persons were present, he would not trouble them with a long speech. He had much pleasureinprosposing Mr Beveridge as a fib and proper person to represent the district of Eden in the Provincial Council.

Mr J. Dinnison seconded the nomination of Mr Beveridge.

Here there was a considerable pause in the proceedings, and it appeared as if no other candidate was going to be proposed. Several persons asked where Mr Joseph May was, and if anybody was going to propose him. No one came forward, and the Return ing Officer asked if no one else was to be proposed. Just then Mr W. T. Buckland rode up on horseback, and was challenged by Mr Lun don and others to come forward.

After some hesitation he said he would stand, but he could not give much time to attend the Council, as he had to go down South very shortly, but if no one else was proposed he would consent to be proposed. Mr Robert Dinnison then briefly pro posed Mr Buckland.

Mr W. nomination

F. M. Hamilton seconded the

No other candidate being proposed, the Returning Officer declared Mr Andrew Beveridge and Mr W. T. Buckland duly elected members for the district of Eden in the Provincial Council.

Mr Beveridge, in returning thanks, spoke of his approval of the Education Act with the exception of the rating clause, which required modifying. With regard to licenc ing laws he was in favour of public-houses being kept open for an hour on Sunday, to enable the poor man to get his beer fresh drawn.

Mr Buckland alluded to his unexpected nomination. He thought provincial insti tutions were nearly played out. He was in favour of the education tax as it stood, and observed that an income or property tax must soon come. He agreed with Mr Beve ridge's views on licensing, and said the open ing of public-houses on Sunday was custom ary in the south without ill effects. In reply to Mr Houltain, Mr Buckland said he would resign if a majority of the electors requested him to do so. He would assist Mr Williamson in carrying out his policy as he had done before. A vote of thanks to the Returning. Officer concluded the business.

Prices : - Hand Machines, £6 6s ; Stand Machines, £7 7s to £8 Bs. Agent :— T. PEACOCK, OPTICIAN, Queen street, near the Bank ov New Zealand. THE "SINGER" TRIUMPHANT. nn H E following abstract is taken JL from tho Custom-house report of the Melbourne Journal of Commerce, showirg the import value of Sewing Machines imported by Victoria during the year 1872 from the two leading Sewing Machine Manufacturers in the world. The Machines imported from makers of less note are not taken into con sideration :—Stanford and Co., Agents "for the "Singer" Manufacturing Company, 4719 cases, value £24,955 ; Lono and Co , Agents for the Wheeler and Wilson Company, 1G35 cases, value .-CBGIG ; showing difference in favor of the " binger " Machine of 3084 cases, value £10,309 This extraordinary success of the "Singer" has been mainly achieved by the Company's " New Family " Machine, which is universally acknowledged to be the most simple to .. ENGLAND, combine the best parts of the best Machines (avoiding their defects) with some recent special improve ments, which no other Machine possesses. Every make of Machine, however far removed from excellence, professes to be better than any other. The task of selecting a Sewing Machine is therefore rather a difficult one, especially if the purchaser has no knowledge of machines, and has no other guide than the representation of various dealers. Many people convinced of the advantage to be derived from using a Machine for needlework do not yet possess one because among so many they are unable to satisfy themselves as to which make is the best. As a practical man and an Engineer allow m« to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. They will do all that any other Machine will, and do it better, including Hemming, Quilting, FeUing, Cording, Binding, Braiding, Stitching, &c., &c, with a perfect stitch alike en both sides. They are fitted with an_ improved break, which prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread. They make less noise than most Machines, and ia the nearest possible approach to noiseless. They are very simple, and will run for years without costing a shilling for repairs. Every Machine is Warranted. Machines let out on hire, the payment for which goes towards the purchase. Machines of other makers taken in ex change. Repairs properly done. Needles for various Mathines, Oil, Cotton, and Extras. G, W. HESLOP, ENG-INEEE. Tll£ $imm Shop, VubCAN Im%
