Carncross, Eltham ; Mr Francis Trask, Nelson; Mr Alfred Baldy, Southland. We understand that the surveyors expect to complete the survey of the Motoa Estate in a fortnight, and then say a fortnight for preparing the lithograph maps makes it possible for the sale to be held wilhin six weeks from now.

Mr Ernest Ball is always studying the convenience of his patrons. He has a fine hair-dressing saloon for which a short time ago he imported an American shaving chair, and daring the last day or two he has secured a largo looking-glass, measuring some six feet by three and a half feet. At the last meeting of the Horowhenua County Council an explanation was tendered by Mr Davies about his action as to the deputation to the Premier, during which Dr Nodine said he regarded Cr Davies’ action in the matter as a slight on the Council, Cr Davies was very fond of associating himself with the Premier Upon every possible occasion. The directors of the Gear Meat Company, Limited, have recently introduced a system of giving prizes to the employees for the best suggestions which may be made in the direction of improving methods, increasing proficiency, etc. This up-to-date idea is said to be taken full advantage of by the workers.

| We are sorry to report an accident which befell Mr Wanklyn while working on a coal-truck yesterday, through : one of the coal-baskets knocking him out of the truck. In falling Mr Wank- ’ lyn struck the couplings of the truck on his back, and received a nasty shock, and then fell to the ground. Besides . the injury to his back, he also received I many other bruises, and had his thumb { badly hurt. j The auctioneers have the enumerated list of different classes of stock for sale at the Motoa Estate advertised, and we look forward to a very large attendance at this important sale.

The return match between the Foxton and Levin Cricket Clubs will be played (bar unforseen contingencies), next Saturday on the local Club’s ground, Victoria Park. The Foxlon team will tie represented out of tlie following players :—Nye, Reade, Furrie, Martin, Stiles, Arbon, G, Newth, Clark, Adair, J. Dunn, F, Spiers, Bowe, T. Murphy. As this will probably be the last match of the season, it is to be hoped that the match will come oft. We draw the attention of housewives to the advantages that raspberry pulping offers to them. Messrs P. Hennessy stock the pulp and we took occasion to try some the other day. The pulp is sold in various sized tins and is called “ boiled raspberry,” and this can be used for pies, jam and 'other purposes the berries themselves can be put to. One pound of sugar to one pound of pulp boiled for fifteen minutes gives you two pounds of excellent and pure jam," thus cheaper and quicker than ordinary. Accetylene gas is steadily winning its way into public favour in town as it is used by Mr Haywood in his hotel, by Mr Alf. Fraser in his stationer’s shop, by Mr Edmund Osborne at his drapery store, by Mrs Austin in her private house, and by Mr Bullard in his shop. Mr Bullard who is agent for the gas, has just completed an instalment of the light in Mr, Osborne’s new store at Shannon, and is to provide a plant for Mr G. Simpson’s new house, also Mr Reeves’, and probably Mr T. Easton’s houses. Some day the town might have the streets lit with it

Although the weather was most unfavourable for the. river excursion on Tuesday, a fair number went by the Planet to a point a little above Paiaka. Here an ideal spot was found, sheltered from the strong gale blowing at the lime. The excursionists from Palmerston and elsewhere returned to Foxton at 6 30, after having an enjoyable time. Everything possible was done by the promoters to make it a success, and we believe none were dissappointed with the arrangements made for their comfort and safety. Mrs Bradcock had refreshments on the barge, which was a convenience. Captain Manly went in charge of the boat and barge, so that the excursionists were in good hands. Mr Williams, of Pegler and Williams, took some excellent photographs of interesting spots on the journey, a number of which will probably appear in the Christchurch Press,

The Rangitikei polo team playing on their own ground at Bulls, which is not one of the best, defeated the old Oroua team on Saturday by one goal. Sixty girls, who are being sent out to Johannesburg as domestic servants by the British South -African Expansion Committee, left Southampton for Capetown in the Harlech Castle. Though it did not rain on Tuesday it blew a heavy westerly gale, and the threatening look of the weather deterred many from travelling by the special excursion train. Mr C. Devlin, a prominent member of the tlnited Irish League, has been elected for Galway City in succession to Colonel Lynch, who is under sentence of imprisonment for treason.

Messrs Hickson ■ and Reeves commenced stripping at their new new mill last week. The growth of flax is much to be admired. It is probable an effort will be made to send some down to their town mill.

Mr R. H. Barber has erected a fine coach-builders shop at the rear of his blacksmith’s shop. It is a fine building 30ft long by 20ft broad with a twelve foot stud. The bottom plates rest on a low brick wall around the building. Mr John Collins has the contract, Mr W. Nye having done the bricklaying. Dehala Nordenkoetter, a quack doctor, has been arrested in London on charges of enormous frauds in Berlin, where he had been sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for contumacy. Nordenkoetter’s income was £15,000 sterling yearly. Many of his medicines were poisonous. At Potsdam a soldier in an Uhlan regiment, aged twenty, for some offence, was held upon a table by noncommissioned officers and beaten with sticks. He was taken to the hospital where he was released. He then com mitted suicide, fearing further illtreatment. His assailants have been arrested.

The pulping of raspberries is a very simple process; tbe berries are brought to the pulping-factory ia 'ds fresh a condition as possible, placed in steam-jacketed boilers and boiled only sufficiently long to kill the germs of fermentation —a few minutes only. It is, while boiling, placed in tins, which are immediately hermetically sealed by soldering in the usual manner. Though the United States is willing to recognise the blockade of the Orinoco if Venezuela has sufficient vessels to render it efficient, Britain, to President Castro’s dismay, recognising that the blockade will entail hardships on British Guiana and Trinidad, has threatened to recognise the belligerency of the revolutionists and apply the laws of neutrality, closing British ports against both belligerents. All the shops carried out the request of the Mayor to observe Tuesday as a public holiday and it is truly wonderful how willingly any reason for a whole holiday is seized. The Mayor flaw the little green flag with the gold harp upon it on his residence and the N.Z. ensign on his business establishment, otherwise there was very little bunting displayed. The railway department will not suffer much by the small number of excursionists as much coal has to be handled and the engine of the excursion train was utilized to take a coal train. The large import of coal to this port frequently causes the department to run extra trains, and the time is not far off when a daily service will be established if only for the benefit of the goods traffic.

The repairs effected at the wharf were shown to be of much value on Tuesday, when the steamers Gertie, Moa and Mirnatangi and the auxiliiary schooner Toroa were laying alongside, except the Moa which was outside of the Himatangi, and the Queen of the South outside of the Torea. These vessels and the dredge took up all the berthing space at the wharf.

We are always pleased to note the attention our traders pay to (heir shop windows as it shows the interest they take in their business and improves the appearance of the town. Mr Mark Perreau has always a large supply of cakes and pastry in his shop window most temptingly set out, and on Saturday nights greater efforts to please are always made. At the beginning of the week the window con tained a pretty wedding cake which has probably by this time been partially eaten. SANDER and SON-'! EUOALPYTI EXTRACT. According to reports of a groat number of physicians of the hightesl 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 cau 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.

Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a liniment and, while adapted to all the ordinary uses of a liniment, has the qualities which distinguish if from other remedies of this class. Pain Balm is especially beneficial for rheumatism, Thousands of oases can be cited in which it has effected a cure when the sufferer had previously tried the best medical service without securing relief. Pain Balm is positively guaranteed to give relief in the most severe oases of chronic or acute rheumatism.

Pain Balm heals bruises, burns and scalds in less time than any other treatment. It is " antiseptic ” that is, it prevents purtrefaotion and by so doing, generally prevents an unsightly soar remaining after the injury is healed. For lame back, lumbago and neuralgia, Fain Balm has no equal. It has the quality of “ getting to the right spot." No sufferer from these distressing affections should defers a trial of this remedy. One applieagives relief. Try it. W. Hamer, Chemist, sells it.
