The Postal Department are to be thanked for their attention to the public in the matter of accomodation at the local office. Everything, except the clock which is coming, is firstrate, the office is of a decent size and convenient. In little things sis in large attention has been paid, as the offices are covered with linolemun and wastepaper baskets are provided. We need now the likeness of the Post-master-General in oils to hang in the lobby. A Northern paper hears that the American locomotives recently imported at a big price have been giving a good deal of trouble on the Auckland lines.

Mr Hesebeck, of Napier, has shown the Daily Telegraph an excellent sample of peaches which he has grown upon the stock of the wild peach. Up to twenty years ago the wild peach in Hawke’s" Buy used to furnish an abundant supply of fruit which for quality and appearance could not be surpassed. Mr Hesebeck, by utilising the same, stock, ensures crops of large, juicy, well-flavoured, and attractivelycoloured fruit. His view is that the acclimatised peach stock ought to be chiefly relied up m by growers, and his own success seems to justify that opinion.

Many of our readers will be glad to know that Mr Alf Fraser has taken up the agency of the Talkeries.

Additions are made to the entries for the Levin stock sale to-morrow.

Times are so good that an attempt was made, ineffectually, to break into a sate at one ot the flaxtnillers. It is only lately that millers have had need of safes.

Recently Mr John Holmes met a gentleman interested in the export of Australian wines. The visitor assured him that for certain classes’- of wines, such as claret and champagne, the North Island should be able to compete successfully against any country in the world. This information has been confirmed by Mr T. W. Kirk, Government Biologist. There are now 522 acres in use for vine cultivation, and the area is yearly increasing. It is confidently expected- so Mr Holmes told the Commercial Conference —that within a few years the wine manufactured in New Zealand will form part of our staple exports.

Last Friday’s shock of earthquake at Cheviot is stated by the local correspondent of the Christchurch Press to rank among the biggest since the first disturbance. It was accompanied by a loud booming, and was followed by tremors for some time. Beyond slight damage to a few chimneys, no serious consequences are reported.

In the course of a paper by Captain Hatton, read at the meeting of the Philosophical Society, says the Times, the theory was advanced that the whitebait of New Zealand commerce was the young of the galaxias attanuatus. Sir James Hector cast doubt upon the theory. He was of opinion that the whitebait was not the young of any one kind of galaxias. A speciusisin or 14m long was once caught in the Paraparaumn river by Mr Travers. The discussion was of special interest as tending to dissipate an opinion generally diffused to the effect that the whitebait is a species in it itself. SANDER and SONS EUCALPYTI EXTRACT. According to reports of a great number of physicians of the hightest professional standing, there are offered Eucalpyti Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities. In protection of the world wide ferns of Sanders and Sons preparation we publish a few abstracts from these reports, which bear fully out that no reliance can be placed in other products Dr. W. B. Rush, Oakland Fla., writes It is sometimes difficult to obtain the genuine article (Sander and Sons). I employed different other preparations ; they had no therapeutic value and no effects. In one Case the eff'-ota were similar to the oil camphors, the objectionable action of which is well known.” Dr H. B. Drake, Portland, Oregon, ga y 3 _« Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander and Sons) 1 ure no other form of eucalyptus as I think it is by far the best,” Dr L. P.
