NAIRNE, APRIL 17.
A trick was played on our poundkeeper,
Mr. Carr, last night or early this morning, by
some person, whereby Mr. Carr was relieved of
his poundboard, also, the gate, bar, fee. The
pound was locked, as Mr. Can had a cow under
his charge; and the gate, board, 4c, were
found deposited this morning in the District
Council Office. Mr. Carrsent to Mount Barker
for the police, as he said he would prosecute if
lie oould find out the perpetrator, but
whether the (dice found out the offen
> der, I am not able to say.—A good deal
, of dissatisfaction is expressed iv Naime
. about the charge of sixpence on cheques
1 to be drawn after the end of the month. Tbe
talk on the footpath is, " Get all the notes that
can be got, fresen* them to the Bank and get
gold for the samp." I am happy to state that
more gold is in circulation in Nairne than has
been for yeats past.—Me J. W. King's usual
monthly sale was held on Thursday last, the
11th. Fat sheep sold very high-10s. 6d. and
upwards; bullocks, from £8 to £12; milch
. cows, £6 to £6; pigs, of which there were a
great number, were very cheap; draught colts,
about £14; hacks, £7 to £9. A team of eight
working bullocks was sold privately, through
the auctioneer, for £56, without the dray. The
market has been brisk of Ute.—The crop of
grapes is not so remunerative as last year about
Nairne and vicinity. |
