CHINESE STORE WRECKED.

An Irate Mother and an Infuriated Mob

[per press association]

Chbistchurcii, Nov 30.

The southeast quarter of the town was thrown into a state of excitement last night when something like a bombardment took place at the premises of Yee Bow and Co, Chinese storekeepers. It appears that about 9 o'clock a woman living in the vicinity, missed one of her little girls, nged 11, and traced her to the Chinaman's shop, where sha with two other girls was purchasing crackers. The mother jumped to the conclusion that the Chinaman had been encouraging the children to his place and proceeded to give the inoffensive Mongolian a piece of her mind, and gave grave charge j against him. She then hie the child on thread with a piece of boxlid, and as the Chinaman protested she picked up a heavy box and struck him on tho head. The unfortunate man replied by striking the woman on the head with a bamboo walking stick and she shrieked and this brought a crowd round, to whom tho woman told a voluble tale of tho Chinaman's perfidy, with the result that several men rushed into tho shop and assaulted tho Mongolian. Eventually thy police camo on the scene and tho intruders were got out and the door locked and matters quietened down but about 10 30, however, the woman returned with her husband, and a crowd of 2,000 people gathered. In r p:te of a large reinforcement of police the building was pretty well wrecked, the panels of doors were kicked in and not a whole pane of glass was left in the place. So far no arrests have been made, but the police are satisfied tbat there is no truth in tho statements of the %voman as to tho Chinamen encouraging tho children to visit their houses,

SANDER & SONS' EUCALYPTI EX TRACT-—Under the distinguished patr omof His Majesty the King of Italy, as per cnag munication made by the Minister forfForeign Affairs, through the Consul-General or Italyat Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883Acknowledged by Mdical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe.

There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the 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 pernformation forwarded to us through th 9 Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we vtate: —

It is proved by tests made by the Medica Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Grief swald (Prussia), and reported to by Dr Schultz Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mossier, Director of the Medical Clincs at Griefswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of aeid3 resinous and other substances adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. All crude oils or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are to bo classed according to the named authoriti is, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. Tl see crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:

1. By their deficiency in pungent odor lwhich our product, the only genuine Eutsa ypti Extract, develops most freely throrga ts surplus oxygen.)

2. By their alcoholio, thin, and mobile ap pearance, being reduced to specifio 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 caso3 of croup, bronchitis, dipthcria, internal inflammation, dysentry, etc., the consequences are most appalling.
