Mr Thomas Bowe informs us he has sold all the seed potatoes he had to spare.

Messrs Mounsey’s auction sale is on Thursday afternoon at Mr Barham’s late residence.

Dr Findlay is of opinion that the presence of women in drinking bars was not desirable.

Mrs De la Key is writing a history of the recent war from a woman’s standpoint. The Returning Officer notifies the election of George Simpson as Councillor.

Mr ■’Bridge advertises to-day the visits of his representative to the district.

Mr Saunders got his new boiler for his flaxmill by the Queen ot the South this morning.

Oat of 33 persons who succumbed to measles in the colony, twenty-four were in Wellington. Mr Stevens speaks at Moutoa tomorrow night, the date, by some accident, was advertised for to-night. The Pekin ducks are very hardly Good layers and fable birds. In America they are raised in thousands. Mr George Simpson was nominated, and duly elected, he being the only candidate yesterday, as a Councillor for the Borough. The were 26,966 fowls, 11,307 ducks, 433 geese, and 79 turkeys, or a total of 38,785 head of poultry exported from depots for the year ending 31st March. The period tor which the importation of swine from New Zealand is prohibited in all the Commonwealth States has been extended —in some cases “ till revoked.”

The Doukhobors have appealed to the Sultan of Turkey to allot them a tiny corner where they will not be compelled to obey the laws of men or become the subjects of any monarch excepting the Lord. Following is the decision as to dressed flax (about 4cwt) at the M.A. and P. Show First Prize, £3 3s (presented by Fildes, Mitchell and Co., Wellington). Eleven entries—William Adams, Blenheim, 1; Pascal Bros., Oroua Bridge, 2 ; Livesay, Poppelwell and Co., Waipukurau, 3. Lord Tennyson, who has been acting as Governor-General of the Commonwealth since the departure of the Marquis of Linlithgow, has been offered that position for the full term of five years. How cruel. In reply to a question how he would provide for the metalling of the Foxton road, Mr C. K. Wilson, last Tuesday, told a public meeting that they could raise a loan, and ho would see that all of Mr Davies’ land was included for rating purpose ! 1 Mr C. K. Wilson was elected, poor Mr Davies.

Dr Findlay pointed out that after the defeat of the maritime strike, labour stood beaten and discredited, despised by the so-called better classes. “ But this Government, when it came into power in the beginning of 1891, raised labour, and protected it to the welfare net only of the worker but of the whole community.”

Dr Findlay in his first address in Wellington said “ he wished to avow himself a party man, for so long as representative government must be carried on through party, an independent man was an independent anomaly, if he were not, in truth, an independent nuisance."

Mr Potts at the public meeting at Levin on Tuesday, ignoring Mr Davies’ claims to the Legislative Council, says “Mr Davies was taking credit for obtaining the Government grant of £650 for Ihakara's reserve, but he would tell them that it was Mr Field who had;been instrumental in obtaining the grant.” As Mr Potts appeared to be of an inquiring mind perhaps he might tell us who has obtained the grant for the Shannon - bridge ?

Mr Job Vile was nominated as a candidate for parliament on Saturday. Mr George Fisher has been nominated for Wellington, though the local papers lake no uoiice of him. Potatoes form the world’s greates single crop, 4,000,000 bushels being produced annually, equal in bulk to the entire wheat and corn crop. Mr S. H. Baker informs us that he has left a lot of Mr Hyde’s pamphlets on “ Poultry and Eggs" with Mr Hennessy for free distribution. James Henry Pickup, manager of a 1 mill, a magistrate, and a local preacher at Bungay, in Suffolk, has been sentenced to seven years’ penal servitude for embezzling £i2OQ and falsifying accounts.

A meeting of Mr Stevens’ supporters was held on Saturday night when everyone present formed themselves into a committee to arrange matters in connection with Mr Stevens' candidature at the coming election.

Mr Hyde, in his new book on “ Poultry & Eggs,” says the best crosses for laying are—Minorca-Lang-shan, also Leghorn-Langshan and Wyandotte-Langshan. He also recommends to keep both fowls for the table and for eggs. The idea of the Minister of Railways to have one class of carriage will meet general approval says an exchange. If it wasn't for the name of the thing, the second class carriages are quite as good as the first. Of course, the smoking carriages will be retained- It is by such means that not only the popularity but the revenue of the railways will be increased. Nothing will suit some people. Mr Duthie at the Wellington theatre on Thursday said “Wishing to deal fairly with the financial position, be reiterated his statement that the financial position of the colony was sound.” Wonderful acknowledgement though the Party he wishes to belong to has been saying that the financial position was not sound.

Comparisons can be made absurd. Mr Duthie made some which are very absurd, as he drew comparisons between the earnings and expenses of the Government railways, which last year measured 2,235 miles as against the 80 miles of the Manawatu railway. The private company is fed by the government railways and has no unproductive lines to make up for, which the Government railways have. The comparison explains nothing Mr Duthie must have had a poor opinion of his audience.

SANDER and SONS EUCALPYTI EX TRACT.

According to reports of a great numl er of physicians of the tightest professional standing, there are offered Euoalpyti Ex tracts 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 out that no reliance can be placed in other prodncts r :~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 camphors, the objectionable action of which is wed known.” Dr H. B. Drake, Portland, Oregon, says—‘‘Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander and Sons) I me, no other form of eucalyptus as I think it is by far the best.” Dr L. P. Preston 3 Lynchburg, Ya., writes—" I never used any preparation other than Sander and Son’s, as 1 found the others to be almost useless. ’ Dr J. T, Gormell, Kansas City, Kans., ;-ay3 —“ Care has to be exercised not .0 be supplied with spurious preparation;, ia done by my supply druggist.” Dr H. I J, Hart, New York, says—“ It goes wiln t saying that Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract is the best in the market.” Dr James Reekie, Fairview, N. M, —“ So wuie is with me the. range, of applications of Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract lha I carry it with me wherever I go. I tin I it most useful in diarrhcea, all throat iroub; d bronchitis, ete..” Time and Money. —Sickness causes a loss of both lime and money. You lose the time and have the expense of medical attendance, entailing a double loss. This can be avoided by using some reliable remedy at the first stage of sickness. The purchase of a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy often proves a profitable investment, for, by its use at the first appearance of any unusual looseness of the bowels, a severe attack of diarrhoea or dysentry may be averted, that might otherwise compel a week’s cessation from labor. Every household should have a bottle at hand. It never fails and is pleasant to take. Get it to day. It may save a life. W. Hamer, Chemist, sells it.
