The Horowhenua County Council presented an illuminated address of farewell to the Premier on Saturday. Mary Bell, alias Burnip, and John Jonson were both-fined 5s or 24 hour’s imprisonment by Me A. Fraser, J.P., yesterday.

An American company with a capital of six million dollars has bought Signor Marconi's United States patents with respect to wireless telegraphy. Two natives of the Arawa tnbe, Aperama and Ehare, fine specimens of the Maori race, have been chosen from the Rotorua district to take part in the coronation ceremonies with the Maori contingent.

Nine thousand Wellington residents have signed the farewell address to be given to the Premier. The sum of £BSO has been subscribed in Wellington towards the national purse. There is every likelihood of the Government (says the Post) acquiring the Moutoa estate, near Foxton, from the Assets Realisation Board. The Foxton people are anxious to have the property thrown open tor settlement. The trading schooner Toroa arrived off the bar on Saturday from Sydney. Dr. Wilson, instructed by the Health Department, came down to make the usual medical inspection, bat the wind not being favourable for the vessel to enter the river, she proceeded to Kapiti tor anchorage. 1 Mr J. D, Billens, of Sydenham, Christchurch, gave an open-air address in Foxton on Saturday evening, and also preached in the Primitive Church on Sunday morning. He also addressed the children in the afternoon. By a majority of 5000 votes Manitoba decided in favour of the continuance of the prohibition of the liquor traffic. The North Island battalion of the Tenth Contingent is to leave Wellington next Saturday. The Court of Appeal has upheld, the appeal against a decision of Mr Justice Conolly in refusing a writ of certiorari against Mr R. L. Stanford, S.M., who when sitting at the Taranaki Licensing Committee, had granted a license for a new hotel (the Commonwealth Hotel) at New Plymouth. The Christchurch Seddon Testimonial Committee will make the presentation to the Right Hon. the Premier this afternoon. The presentation will be made by Sir John Hall, Notice is given in the Volunteer parades that the election of officers will be held on the 10th inst. and aay absent from this parade without leave will be fined. The Premier is not to be allowed to leave Wellington on his journey to London without receiving a testimony of the citizens’ appreciation of his services in giving effect to the patriotism of the colony by the despatch of contingents to South Africa. A committee embracing members of leading mercantile and professional firms and prominent bankers has been formed to make arrangements to tender a farewell banquet to Mr Seddon, The banquet will take place at the Empire Hotel at eight o’clock on Thursday night. The Mayor will preside.—N.Z. Times-

Mr Messena informs us that the other day he caught a white woodhen, and has sent it to be stuffed. We do not recollect anyone in this district who has seen a similar bird alive. •

Clergymen who go feeling their way about in unknown parts of the backblocks occasionally run against some strange characters. A minister of the New South Wales Methodist Conference gave an amusing illustration of the fact. Riding up to the homestead of a certain farm for the first time, the owner, having noticed his approach, went down to the slip-rails to meet him. “ Good day ” was exchanged in a matter-of-fact way, and then the minister explained who he was. “ Oh, I see,” said the squatter; “ then you'll be wanting money.” The minister protested that such a thing was not in his mind. Surely mundane matters like that could wait. He was there simply to make the acquaintance of the owner and his people, whom he hoped to visit regularly. “ That’s all right,” rejoined the squatter, “ but you’ll be wanting money. I’ve had several kinds here, but they all want money. Now I tell yon what it is: I’ll make a bargain to begin with, and then we shall know where we are. If you’ll come out here regularly and preach to the chaps round about, I’ll give you £5 a year; if yon come out and don’t preach at all I’ll give you £10; and if you won’t come near the place I’ll give you £15.” The minister did not enlighten his audience as to the condition in the bargain he accepted, but the audience laughed long and heartily.

SANDER and SONS BUOALPYTI EX. TRACT.

According to reports of a great number of physicians of the bightest professional standing, there are offered Euoalpyti Extracts which possess no curative qualities. In protection of the world wide fame of Sanders and Sons preparation we publish a few abstracts from these reports, which bear fully oat that no reliance can be placed in other products j—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 effects were similar to the oil camphora, the objectionable action of whioh is well known.” Dr H. B. Drake, Portland, Oregon, says—” Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander and Sons) I use no other form of eucalyptus as I think it is by far the best.” Dr L. P. Preston’s Lynchburg, Va., writes—” I never used any preparation other than Sander and Son’s, as I found the others to be almost useless.” Dr J. T. Connell, Kansas City, Kans.*, says —“Care has to be exercised not to be supplied with spurious preparations, as done by my supply druggist.” Dr 9. H. Hart, New York, says—“ It goes without saying that Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract is the best in the market.” Dr James Reekie, Fairview, N. M.—“ So wide is with me the range of 'applications of Sander and Sons Encalypti Extract that I carry it with me wherever I go. I find it most useful in diarrhoea, all throat troubled bronchitis, etc.”
