IT is not generally known that Cook ing can be accomplished much quickor, cleanlier, better, and cheaper by Gas than by any other method. Tho Gas Stove is portable, gives perfect and imme diite control over the heat, requires but little atten tion, is always ready, keeps the kitchen and house cool, and is only alight when actually in use. The difference between the cost of cooking by Gas, and by the ordinary mode, is much greater than usual ut tne present time ; for while coals have lately advanced in pries 50 .'FKK, OEXT, Gas has ijeest. EB- Mjokd to 12s Cd per 1000. ' The following statement, which is the result of many experiments, shows the relative cost of boiling a Gallon of Water in a copper kottlo by moans of a recently lighted coal fire, aud by a Gas Stovo, and the time required in each case : — Coal used Weod j Tlme j Total per ton. "sud- employed. Cost. With Fire.. 4^lbs. l-!Hhofld 1 hour. lid. I 1 With Gas.. 4 cubic feet at 12s Cd Twenty J ~ per 1000. ! minutes. |'' ' Therefore, dv the use of Gas, there is a saving of nearly two to one in money, and economy of TWO- Tiirruw in timr, and the avoidance of trouble in lighting, smoke and dust.

JONES, SADDLER, HARNESS-MAKER, & IMPORTER, 154, QUEEN STREET, -iha TO THE ELECTOESi OV THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. Gentlemen,—ln pursuance of the announcement made by me when consenting to become a Candidate for the office of the Superintendent of the Province of Auckland that I would take an early opportunity, of laying my views before you, I have now the honor to state that for some years past I have looked upon the Provincial Government as costing more money than it was worth, and this view I have repeatedly ex pressed to some members of the Provincial Council without being shown by any of them any reasonto cause me to alter or even modify my belief. My opinions as to the desirability of getting rid of the Provincial Government of Auckland have lately been strengthened, as I feel perfectly satisfied that the good derived from its operations are not at all commensu- . rate with its costs, and as I am quite convinced that nearly all the work done by the Provincial Govern ment could be done better, more economically, ana-, with greater satisfaction to the ratepayers through the instrumentality of local boards and local institutions than by a Superintendent resident in Auckland. In addition to the expense that would, in my, opinion, be saved to the country by the work of the Provincial Council being done by local road and other boards! believe that these boards would work more harmoniously with the General Government than the , Provincial Government has hitherto done ; and as opening up the country is the undertaking of greatest importance to the colony the best method of getting the work done should most certainly, in my opinion, be adopted without loss of time. - ■ And as regards the goldfields I entertain no doubt that the people on these fields could manage their affair's without the intervention of a Superintendent not resident in their neighbourhood, and that their local representatives could deal better with the Supreme Government of the Colony than a Provincial Webreference to the desirability of having the railways pushed on quickly of course I entirely concur, and with regard to fostering the establishment of native industries I presume I need only refer you to my actions during the last few years. Withregard io the present Government I believe it tp be the , most able Government that New Zealand ever had. and I fully expect that if the Government receive* •; from the forthcoming General Assembly that support > io which I consider them entitled, the native diffi-. 6ulty and all other obstacles to the government of tn« - colony will disappear I . I am, Gentlemen, ~ ■! Your most obedient servant, i ■ . J. S. MAOFAKLANJL _'~ j Auckland. June 5,1873. ■ , ' '■ '"■•i TO THE ELECTOEB OF THE" DISTRICT OF THE BAY OF ISLANDS " AND MONGANUI. i , rtoi> ' Gkntlsmen, —I have the honor to offer myself aa a Candidate for Election to the seat in the General, Assembly vacated by Mr McLeod. I have resided In New Zealand for about thirty years, and may be<, known to many .of, your community; but as I have: never occupied any politicial or public office, you may ( .• desire to know the grounds upon which I ask your support. "_ , -'.'■" : Allow me then to state that I ask your votes Jn •< belief that you will consider that my lengthened e*r | perierice }n business matters, coupled with my know- » ledge of local concerts, will enable me to form • correct judgment of what measures I should support iii the Assembly as being likely to be beneficial to your district; and I take leave to solicit your attention to the fact that, I, have ever been ready to promote and encourage all those undertakings.and industries., calculated to advance the" prosperity and wealth or the colony; in short, while many have Deen counsel ling the establishment of new industries, I nave in a ■ great many instances created most useful andvalu-,r able institutions. . ..,■< ' With regard to the present Government, my views are most favourable to the policy which they have"! inaugurated. I consider the Government essentially one of progress, and I believe that the great schemes of public works and immigration are of incalculable value to the whole colony, as being the best means for promoting settlement of population, as thereby se-w curing peace. But though I so highly appreciatelhe value of the schemes referred to, I do not assert that , in ' the carrying out of the same- serious mistakes have not already been .made, many of which wouia possibly have been avoided had the Government , received more cordial support and assistance from the Assembly, as I consider that much valuable time was lost, and the energies of the Government distracted or paralysed by Opposition, which had the effect of - impeding and delaying the business of the country,, one of the man,- Public Works so delayed being the , Eailway from Kuwakawa Coal-mines to deep water. I trust you will pardon ma for asking you to keep : in view, when deciding for which candidate you,will record your votes, that any member sent to the Assembly who is likely to be antagonistic to the present Government, or favourable to the Opposition, will, in ; my; opinion, most seriously injure your district and the country generally.
