The following particulars of the railway traffic on the Prince of Wales’ Birthday will be of general interest. All goods traffic was suspended. Twelve trains ran to WaihoTa. ten to Port’Chalmers, and nine to the Ocean Beach. The trains on the Clntha line conveyed, in addition to the Volunteers, Good Templars, and those who attended the Hibernian £6te, some 1318 passengers. About 1560 persons travelled on the Ocean Beach line, and 500 visited Port Chalmers, One of the trains from Waihola comprised 20 carriages, 6 trucks, 2 vans, and 3 engines, and brought with it 1400 passengers. There Jia little doubt but this is the largest number of passengers ever conveyed by one train in the Colony.—Guardian. An effort is being made to increase the capital of the Reliance Quartz Mining Co., Bendigo, to enable a further test to be made of their claim, Which immediately joins the famed Cromwell Co.’s claim on the western end. The Cromwell Company are now principally employed at this end of their claim, and at about 160 feet from the boundary have a well defined gold beating lode. As there is no perceptible change in the ground, excepting that it slightly slips towards the Reliance, there is every reason to believe that it must carry on into it, and prove to be equally as rich as its neighbor. The prospect is one Worth trying, and we shall hope to hear that the requisite amount has been raised, and that the really firstclass plant on the ground will be shortly at work. Advice to Mothers ! — Are you broken in your rest by a sick child suffering with the pain of ‘cutting teeth ? Go at once to a chemist and get a bottle of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. It will relieve th e pooh sufferer immediately. It is per-ectly harmless and pleasant to taste, it produces natural quiet sleep, by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes “as bright as a button.” It soothes the child, it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dyssentery and diarrhcea Whether arising from teething or other causes. Mrs Winslow’s Soothing Syrup is sold by Medicine dealers everywhere at Is lid per bottle. Manufactured at 493 Ox-ford-street, Loudon. Holloway’s Pills. —Disorders of the kidneys, known by the deeply-seated pain in the back and scanty secretion of water, can be arrested iu their distressing and rapid course by these regulating Pills. Their highly tonic and strengthening properties prevent the impoverishment of the blood and the derangement of circulation, characteristic of kidney disease, and often ending in partial or general dropsy. Experience has proved the almost unvaried success obtained when Holloway s Pills are taken in the earlier stages, attd the ease they afford when the complaint is more advanced. They relax the hot and parched skin, overcome the attendant Costiveness, induce a copiobs secretion by the kidneys, and are the harbingers of disease departing and health returning. The contractors of the, Cromwell Bridge arc getting on famously. The moorings on cither side are completed, the iron pillars to carry the wire ropes are all stretched out and fastened off at the chd, there remaining only the placing in position of the iron girders, fixing the ropes, and laying a new deck to make the Cj-onVWell Bridge as good as ever. On Wednesday afternoon last, what might have been a Very serious accident, was, by tho merest chance only a scare ; it happened whilst placing in position the sheer legs, with which to loWer the iron pillars, the guys suddenly gave way, and tho entire fabric toppled over, luckily in its fall clearing the whole of the mahy men who were working about it at the time. Mr MaeKellar, one of the contractors, had the narrowest escape. “A miss is as good as a mile,” however, and our sincere ahd B vrnest hope is that no worse accident may happen.
