"UNMERCIFUL DISASTER 1 ollowed fiibt and followed faster" upon the fortuues of poor Queensland until that unfortunate Colony is now in the mobt miserable condition imaginable. Gaunt famine may sUlk over the land, fit m failure of the soil to give its annual increase, or from other of the many causes of that distress : the destroying plague may be let loose and grip with his cold hand the vitals cf the young and strong, leaving sorrowing widows and wa:hng orphans everywhere, and painful blanks in every household ; or the demon of war may send fire and sword over a country, and leave desolation in their track in place of smiling scenes of peace and plenty—all sad enough and sickening enough if you will; but what must be the feeling of a whole people when they find their country covered as the waters cover the sea, their homes wrecked atid ruined, and their hopes for the futuro sunk in one mournful and inretrievable disaster ? These feelings can only be imagined. And what ought ours to be in regard to the sufferers -- we who dwoll in the most glorious country under the sun, and enjoy such Massing* as are only enjoyed by the dwellers in a second paradise ? Puch feelinas, to be sure, as are prompting the thousands of meetings, and jilans and organisations of the people of this Colony, to send help to the afflicted. New Zealand has come nob'y to the front in this matter, and her Canterbury sons have been well in the van at the first call. And we of Ashburton shall be in the front of the foremost if we belie not our past history. _ SO THINK Hardley Bros., who are giving special value this month in Drapery, Clothing and Boots. 120 Dozen large Towels to be sold at from 2s 9d a dozen.
