The annual report and statement of accounts in connection with our local Hospital are published to-day. The report is an exceedingly satisfactory one ? and the finances, taking the Government subsidy (now due) into account, are also so, as the statement shows a credit balance of £155 14s Bd.

The election of officers for the ensuing term is announced to take place on Saturday next, between the hours of 12 noon and 8 o'clock in the evening. The names of the candidates appear in the advertisement in the preceding column. We are instructed by the Secretary (Mr R. E. Wylde) who is made Returning Officer for the occasion, to state that "No ticketholder will be allowed to vote unless his ticket is in force on the day of election. Holders of annual tickets, or of two consecutive half-yearly tickets, will be entitled to two votes ; holders of one halfyearly ticket will be entitled to only one vote. Subscribers or donors (as distinguished from-ticket-holders) of ten shillings within the last year will have only one vote, and subscribers or donors of £1 and upwards will be entitled to two votes."

Miskuableness.—The most wonderful and marvelous success, in cases where persons are sick or pining away from a condition of miserableness that no one knows what ails them (profitable patients for doctors), is obtained by the use of Hop Bitters.
