An Auburn fisherman,' a few days ago, while fishing through a hole in the ice,* caught a trout so large he could not be brought through the orifice. The fisherman, however, gently played with his fish with one hand, while he chopped ice with the other, until the opening had been enlarged sufficiently, then with a skilful jerk he brought out a dead cat with a brick on its neck, the entire prize weighing over nine pounds. The profanity that ensued caused a heavy thaw for sixty rods in all directions. —American Paper. The Agent General telegraphs that the ships Jessie Headman and Zealandia sailed from London for Otago in August with 417 souls. A Melbourne telegram says ;—Mr Greathead’s cure for diptheria, as announced by him to the Government, is four drops of sulphuric acid in a tumbler of water. He expects to get £SOOO for the discovery. Holloivay's Pills. —Weakness and debility.— Unless the blood be kept in a pure state, the constitution must be weakened, and disease supervene. These wonderful pills possess the power of removing or neutralising all contaminations of the blood and system generally. They quietly but certainly overcome all obstructions tending to produce ill health, and institute regular action in organs that are faulty from irritation or debility. The dyspeptic, weak, and nervous may rely on these pills as their best friends and comforters. They improve the appetite and thoroughly invigorate the digestive apparatus. Holloway’s pills have long been known to be the surest preventives of liver complaints, dreadful dropsies, spasms, colic, constipation, and many other diseases always hovering round the feeble and infirm.
