Scott, and Messrs Sandle, Naylor, Lowe, Bramwell and many other gentlemen worked most enegetically in providing amusement for the children,"swings, rounders, and cricket beiug the order °of the day.

We are informed (says the Bejuljgo Evening News of December 7th) that Messrs Sander and Sons, of Bridge street, received o« Thursday by the English mail, intelligence from thmr agents at Bordeaux (Franco, which proves that their Eucalypti Extract is a discovery that reflects the greatest honor upon them in all parts of the globe wherever their product is to be obtained. The intelligence referred to ascribes additional value to the Extract, and assures the manufacturers that it had actually cured cases wliere grangrene had set in, and scaldings of the most horrible nature, ifcc. Such reports as these certainly justify the unceasing action of Messrs Sander and SOll3, in losing no opportunity of making the public acquainted with the properties of the t Eicalypti Extract, We should not

wonder if .many serious consequences j could not be averted by the use, in time, i of their popularity acknowledged medica-

ment ; in fact we. have, just learned, upon good authority, that the extract is a remedy that may be depended upon in cases of diarrhoea and dysentery, which is well worth knowing in a hot climate like ours.
