NELSON CREEK NOTES.

(our own correspondent.)

The concer.t in aid of the Church of England on Friday night was a great success. The schoolroom which had been mast tastefully decorated by the ladies was crowded to its utmost wit people from all parts of the dristrmt-r-a number being present from Groymouth, Ngahere, and Notown.

The concert commenced with an Ethiopian entertainment, under the guidance of Mr C Roberts, and consisted of songs, jokes, local hits, and step-dances which were highly appreciated. Too much credit cannot be given to those who under great difficulties and at short notice made this part of the concert so great a success, showing plainly the splended talent we have in our midst; Miss M, Williams played the accompaniments. The second part of the concert commenced with an overture by Mr W. Sweotman (violin), and Miss M. Algie (piano), which was a treat enjoyed by all. Mr Moss in his usual brilliant style sang “ One more Polka,” which brought forth rounds of applause, the singer having to respond to an encore. Mr W. Swectman was heard to great advantage in the song “Ho carries the Gun.” Mr Mitchell’s song “ The Deathless Army,” was a great treat, and he also had to respond to an encore. The song “On the Banka of the Walbash,” was sung most prettily by Miss M. Williams whoso beautiful voice was heard to great advantage. Mr Malone’s recitation “The Old Man’s Doom,’’ was much enjoyed by the ladies. Mrs Daniels singing of “ The Old Rustic Bridge by the Mill,” was a great treat and was much appreciated. Mrs Candle’s Curtain Lecture, by MrsH. Williams and Miss Barnhill, fairly brought down the house, Mr Moss again obliged with the song “ Under the Old Umbrella, ” and Mr Mitchell’s song “ Just as the Sun went Down.” brought the concert to a close. The Rev Mr Staco returned thanks to those who had attended the concert, to those who had taken part in it, and to the energetic Committee to whom the success of the concert was due.

I do not know the exact amount taken, but a goodly sura should be the result. Much credit is due to Messrs Moss and Mitchell for their kindness in coming from Greymouth to assist in so worthy a cause.

1 This concert was a great success and promises to be the forerunner of several more of its kind.

SANDER & SONS’ EUCALYPTI EX-TRACT-—Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communication made by the Minister forfForeign Affairs, through the Consul-General or Italy at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1833Aoknowledgod by Mdical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe.

There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in tho market, products of simple distillation, forming crude, resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for our pursolatile Eucalypti Extract, which is recognise by the Medical Division of the Prussian Goernment to be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1378, we vtate:—

It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Griefswald (Prussia), and reported to by Dr Schultz Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mossier, Director of the Medical Clines at Griefswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids resinous and other substances adherent to primary distillation, will develop tho sanative qualities proper to the plant. All crude oils or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are to be classed according to the named authority is, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. T 1 <.-.se crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:

1.. By their deficiency in pungent o.tor (which our product, tho only genuine Euca lypti Extract, develops most freely througu ts surplus oxygen.) 2. By their alcoholic, thin, and mobile ap pearance, being reduced to specific density through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of contract ing tendency of resins and tanats.

If these crude oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diptheria, internal inflammation, dysentry, etc., tho consequences are moat appalling.
