A team of cricketers pro reeded to Feildingtcday to try conclusio. s against the local Ohib.

The district 18 better able to export than to import, and we protest against any attempt to further Wer the market for the benefit of outsiders. Above -the leader will be found Mr R. Leary's notice of a number of articles on sale at his old-establisbed and popu lar druggist's and chemist's shop.
