Holloway’s Pills.— This purifying and regulating medicine should occasionally be had recourse to during foggy, cold, and wet weather. The Pills are the beet preventive of hoarseness, sore throat, diphtheria, pleurisy, and asthma, and are sure remedies for congestion, bronchitis, and inflamation. A moderate attention to the directions folded round each box will enable every invalid to take the Pills in the most advantageous manner; they will he taught the proper doses, and the circumstances under which they must be increased or diminished. Holloway’s Pills act as alteratives, aperients and tonics. Whenever these Pills have been taken ns the last resource the result has always been gratifying. Even when they fail to cure they always assuage the severity of the symptoms, and diminish the danger.

A young man named Thomas Kearns, in the employ of his uncle, John Dowling, at the Arahura fellmoogery Hokitika, cut his throat. Anderson another workman in the tannery, occupied the same hut as Kearns. The latter rose in the middle of the night, entered a noigbouring hut, and committed the act. He staggered back, and fell on his bunk, and Anderson at once ran for assistance and had Kearns removed to the hospital. The police found in the hut where the deed was committed a lookingglass on the bed. The floor and blankets were saturated with blood, and two knives were on the floor, the sharpest having evidently been used by Kearns. The lookingglass had boon taken from the wall, but otherwise nothing was disturbed in the huts He has only been in the colony about six months, and lately he has been very despondent.
