The Hokitika Guardian ..says.:—“The well known trader, the brigaptine Sir Henry ha?, wa understand, been sold in Auckland, and will be employed in the Whangarei-Gisborne coal trade. The Zioris also, we believe, on the market and evidently the question of shipping trade at this port will require consideration, as running on the lines of the past shipowning has been unreraunerative. From what we can learn from those who have had experience in shipping matters, the only type of vessel which can run hero with prospect of success is the scow, or at least a vessel of the scow type, carrying about 300 tons and supplied with pil engines. Unless vessels of this kind are secured to take away’ our timber the prospects of the future of this psrt are not pronrsing. It remains to be proved whether local enterprise will step in or not.’’

The work of extinguishing the burning coal seam at Waitahu, Inangahua, is proceeding. Daring the last few weeks a large body of water has been poured into the mine, and it is hoped that in a short time the fire will be overcome.

The question has arisen as to whether the defence officers recently retired, will receive a pension. It may be stated that no pension is payable, but the retiring officers will receive a month’s pay for every year of service. The special correspondent of the Rand Mail, who was lately travelling in Cape Colony, describes the country as politically rotten. There is strong evidence on every hand, he says, that bitter racial feeling permeates every town and village. The Bond propaganda is completely in the ascendant, and the position appears to be absolutely hopeless from the loyalist point of view. According to the Lyttelton Times, the continued wet weather has encouraged .a phenomenal growth of vegetation in North Canterbury, and the grain and clover paddocks, from Waikari northwards, show promise of a record crop. The feed was never so abundant as it is now, and there are some wonderful crops of wheat Bowing on the o’d Horsley Downs Estate, the grain is reaped under favourable conditions one of the most marvellous returns in the annals of the province should be shown at harvest time. The oat crop is also very good; but, wherever barley is to be seen from the railway line, the crop appears to be very thin,

BANDER &-.SONS’ EUCALYPTI EXTRACT*—Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communication made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, through the Consul-General for Italy at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883Aoknowledged by Medical 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 pursolatilo 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 the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, te:— It is proved by tests madebytte Medico Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Grielfwald (Prussia), and reported to by Dr Sohutz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mossier, Director of the MedicoOlinos at Qriefswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids resinous and other substances adherent to rimary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. All crude oils or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are to be maolass according to the named authority onged the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. Tt ese crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1. By their deficiency in pungent odowhich our product, the only genuine Euca lypti Extacrt, develops most freely throuh its surplus oxygen.) 2. By their alcoholic, thin and mobile appearance, being reduced to spefiio densipty through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of contract ng tendency of resins and tanats. If these crude oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are applied by mistake in eases croup, bronchitis, dipthcria, internal inflammation, dysentry, etc., the consequences are most appalling. For safety's sake ask always for Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract.— Sndhurst, Victoria, Australia.—SANDEß & SONS. TROTTING CLUB AUTUMN MEETING.
