A heavy landslip occurred on the Weliin^ton-Masterton Railway, about a quarter of a milo on the Wellington side of the summit. , Traffic is interrupted, but trains run as far as the obstruction and then transfer passengers. It 13 Btatcd about 10,000 tons of earth, came down, and it is not expected the line will be cleared before to morrow evening.

The following is taken from the " Auckland Herald " of the 24th ult. :— The trade m the manufacture of J. A. Pond and Co.'s butter boxes is increasing at a wonderful rate. Wherever they are tried it is but the signal for large subsequent orders. Though the season is only just begun, and the firm had a stock of between 2000 and 3000 on hand at the time, and although the machinery has been kept constantly employed, the stock is exhausted, and orders are booked to the extent of 2500 boxes m exoess of what the firm can supply. It is intended to put on two shifts of men next week, and on the week following three shifts will be employed, ao that the machinery will be kept running at full speed night and day. On Tuesday a telegraphic order for 1000 561 b boxes oame from Sydney, to be forwarded at once. Weakness and sickness changed to health and strength with Hop Bitters always if those made by Amerioan 00. See. Holloway's Ointment and Pills. — Colds Coughs, Shortness of Breath. — These maladies require early and unremitting atten+ion, for if neglected they often end m asthma, bronchitis, or consumption. The ointment well rubbed upon the cheßts and back, penetrating the skin, is absorbed and oarried directly to the lungs, whence it expels all impurities. All the blood m the body is perpetually passing through the lungs, and there all noxious particles tending to disease can be quickly, thoroughly, and permanently neutralised, rendered harmless, or ejected from the system. Holloway's Ointment and Pills perfectly accomplishes this purification ; and through the blood thus cleased, the iniluonoe of the3e wonderful medicamens reaches the remotest parts of the human body, and thus cures all diseased action, whether internal or external.
