The general store off Mr R. H. Shaw, at Waikino, was burglariously entered on Friday night. Apparently the intruder was disappointed, as on opening the safe only a few coppers and some papers were found therein. These were not touched, and neither was the stock, as far as. can be ascertained. An entrance to the shop wa.s gained by breaking a pane of glass in the door and turning the Yale lock. ■As is Mr Shaw’s custom, money and valuables are not left in the shop over-night. What is believed to be the fastest trip across the Atlantic by a yacht of her size has just been made by the American 11-tonner Primrose IV., which has arrived at Falmouth after covering the distance from Nantucket lightship, 3300 miles by log, in 22 days 1 hour 20' minutes. A southwest wind, which blew for over a week, enabled her to cover 170 miles, a day while it lasted. First aid for coughs, coldp, and influenza, Wood’s Great Peppermint Cure.
