Tic-Doloureux, Toothache, or any other neuralgic pain speedily yields to Baxter’s AntiNeuralgic Pills, “ German Syrup.” —No other medicine in he world was ever given such a test of its curative qualities as Boschee’s German Syrup. In three years two million four hundred thousand small bottles of this medicine were distributed Jrte of charge by Druggists in the United States of America to those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma, Croup, severe Coughs, Pneumonia and other diseases of the throat and lungs, giving the afflicted undeniable prool that German Syrup will cure them. The result has been that Druggists in every-town and village in civilised countries are recommending it to their customers. Go to your Druggist and ask what they know about it. Sample Bottles 6d. Regular size 3s. 6d. Three doses will relieve any case, —(Advt.J

Persons interested in the annual Winslow sports are invited to attend a public meeting to be held at the Winslow Hetel this evening, at eight o’clock. By a recent «S)rder-in-Council all inward correspondence via Brindisi and Suez will be charged an additional postage rate on arrival, and this order was to come into force to-day. As this would involve considerable injustice, especially to newsagents who receive a large number of papers via Brindisi, Messrs Dinwiddle, Walker and Co., of Napier, telegraphed to the Postmaster-General, asking that the operation of the order might be suspended until {Correspondents here have time to instruct English agents. That

firm yesterday received the following telegram from Sir Julius Yogel : —“ Will postpone operation of Order-in-Council on inward correspondence until receipt of the Brindisi-Suez mails leaving London on January 7th. This will allow time to instruct agents by the Ruapehu, leaving here by the 22nd, and due in London about January 2nd.— Julius Vogel. ”

Shaw, Savill and Co. have been advised by cable that the steamer Florida arrived at London on the 13th instanttin time to catch the wool sales. Her frozen meat is reported to be in good condition. In the Wellington Appeal Court the case of Ootterell v Young and others was argued yesterday. A case was stated by consent of both parties for the decision of the Court of Appeal as to the construction of the will of Robert Foster Young. Justice Richmond said —“ We have no doubt upon one part of the question raised in this case. The Court is of opinion that the hotch patch clause, applies, notwithstanding the death of the plaintiffs wife. The clause is one which oinda all who take an interest or claim in that particular share. That is quite obvious. Supposing three-fourths of the residue whicn is distributed under the will should amount, for instance, at present to LIO,OOO, it appears to us quite clear that the husband cannot share in that LIO.OOO became the duty is imposed upon him to stand in the place of his wife. This is the main question for our de-dson, and we have no doubt about it. Right to L10<)

legacy is also admitted. Then comes the question which has bean started upon us as to whether or not the interest, of all beneficiaries entitled under the will to a share of Jessie Lorcaa’s interest are defeated by her death in the testator's lifetime. That is a point on which there seems to be exceedingly little authority, and if we are to give a decision upon it we must take time to consider it. Plaintiff, as representing his wife, is entitled to L 2,000, as one-third part under the ultimate trust affecting the Dorcas’s share. ” The tender cf Kincaid and McQueen, of Du tedin, in the sum of L 1,112 has been accepted for the cast iron cylinders contract for the Wellington and Napier railway. At the Appeal Court the case of Wright v Christchurch Drainage Board was partly

argued, when applicant asked for. the case to be withdrawn, as a compromise had been arrived at between the parties. At a meeting of subscribers yesterday in the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce room, Mr A. J. Towsey, formerly organist of St. Paul’s, and about o fill the position of organist at St John’s Church, Christchurch, was presented with a purse of 100 sovereigns. Mr E. B. Cargill made thq presentation, expressing his sense of the go id work done by Mr Towsey in founding the Choral Society, and generally in the advancement of musical taste.

Sixteen years ago an undiscovered robbery of jewellery took place from Camp Hotel, Milton. A few days ago Mr

Julius, who was then the proprietor, received a parcel from .Sydney containing the jewellery and L 5 10s in money, to cover value of any missing. The writer regretted that circumstances had prevented earlier restitution. The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of :he highest value. As soon as it has been ;ested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable amily medicine on earth, many imitations iprung up and began to steal the notices in vhich the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to u--C their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of 11. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in wltich the word “Hop ” or “Hops ” were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All .-.ucb pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word “Hop” or “Hops” in their rameorinany way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, a ith a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule's name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and 1 chemists are warned against dealing in imita I tions counterfeits, J

The Ashburton Debating Society wound up their season last evening with a soiree in the St Stephen’s schoolroom, to which a largo number of ladies and.gentlemen had been invited. In the unavoidable absence of the President, Mr A. Craighead, the chair was occupied by Mr Cay-

gill. An excellent programme bad bi-en prepared consisting of instrumental selections, songs and readings, and the various items were evidently thoroughly appreciated. At the conclusion of the musii the room was cleared for dancing, which was kept up for some time, and the soiree broke up after a very pleasant evening had been passed. . A wrestling match took place at Christchuruch last night between Wra. Hudson, of Dunedin, champion of New Zealand, and Wm. Rowe, of Christchurch, at the Dcillshed. The stakes were L7O a-side Hudson was entirely out of condition, and Rowe scored five falls to Hudson’s two, thus winning the match, which was decided on the first five falls out of nine.

Forged Bank of New Zealand LI notes I are in circulation in Christchurch.
