It is probable, also, that the number of candidates will not be so large as on the last occasion, when there were twelve.

The Volunteer Ball which takes place on the Queen’s Birthday promises to be a grand affair. It is now four years since the company essayed to celebrate the occasion, and why it is not done annually we are at a loss to know.

It now appears that Mr J. B. Gough, whose death has been already announced, was lecturing in the Presbyterian Church, Frankford, Pennsylvania.

A telegram from Yienna states that Joseph English, aged twenty-seven, has been hanged at Chrudinu He had been found guilty of poisoning his father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, and his own child.

The demand for the great American remedy, Hop Bitters, in this .part of the world has become so great that the Hop Bitters Co., whose head quarters are at Rochester, New York, U.S., A., have been compelled to open a laboratory in Melbourne. It is in charge of Mr M. H. Van Bergh, a gentleman of several years’ experience with this Company, and the trade may be assured of receiving goods equal to the parent house, and the most courteous treatment. The H. B. Co. have establishments at London, Paris, Antwerp, Belgium, Breda, Holland and Toronto, and their American Bitters are probably the best known medicine in the world.

The best medicine known is Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract. Test its eminent powerful effects in coughs, colds, influenza, etc.—the relief is instantaneous. Thousands give the most gratifying testimony. His Majesty the King of Italy, and medical syndicates all over the globe, are its patrons. Read the official reports that accompany each bottle. We have no occasion to offer rewards in proof of the genuineness of our references. The official reports of medical clinics and universities, the official communication of the Consul-General for Italy at Melbourne ; the diploma awarded International Exhibition, Amsterdam all those are authentic documents, and, as such, not open to doubt. We add here epitome of one of the various cases treated by Siegen, M.D., Professor, &c. -.—Burning of the right hand through the explosion of a small oil stove. The epidermis on the valar and. palmer side of the hand of the thii’ty-year-old patient was completely separated and lifted up as far as. the join. of the hand. The likewise lifted nails were hanging loose, and half of the phalanx of the nail of the middle finger was coaled. The wounds thus contracted healed in three weeks under daily applications of Eucalypti Extract dressing. The patient has retained the full use of her hand.— [Advt.]
