Additions are made to Messrs Abraham & Williams’ Palmerston stock sale. Tenders are called for the purchase and removal of timber from Presbyterian churchyard. Mr R. Moore, in a change of advertisement, announces that he is appointed agent for the New York Life Insurance Co. Intending tenderers are reminded that tenders close at Sanson to-morrow at noon for the Kari Kari drain road contract. Mr E. Shep Dixon, proprietor of Dixon's cordial manufactory, Palmerston North, paid a business visit to this town yesterday. In his advertising space he notifies that be has made Mr P. Robinson his Foxton agent, and all orders entrusted to him will receive prompt attention. The following pathetic incident recently occurred at a railway depot in London. A young German, who by four years’ hard work in a brewery had saved enough money to make a home, was waiting for his betrothed, who was to arrive from Germany. She embraced him on her arrival, and when he tried to disengage himself, her bands were firmly clasped about his neck in death. Her heart was literally broken with joy.

A Masonic ball is spoken of as likely to take place in Foxton shortly. On Thursday evening at 7.30 o’clock the installation of the Mayor (Mr G. Simpson), will take place in the Library Buildings. Owing to the Borough office being closed in the Town Clerk’s absence the specifications for the Manawatn County Council’s contract can be seen at Mr P. Hennessy’s store, Mainstreet.

The voyage of Tanner’s Ark, which set out from Wanganui recently or what was intended to be a trip round the world, came to an end on the beach between Oban and Terawhiti. where the boat now lies as the result of its being unable to beat against a -outherly breeze and a strong tide. < Mr H.

Our dairying population has been largely added to, but many of the milkers plead they cannot attend. If Providence were to intimate that He would take away the cows from any man who could not come to church, all the milkers would soon be church-goers.”—Waikato Anglican Church report. A novel suggestion A motion was passed recently by the Ashburton branch of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union, suggesting that railway tickets should be issued for 300, 500, or 1000 miles, and that passengers should be permitted to travel any part of the distance at one time, and the balance when the purchasers’ travelling requirements best suited.—Lyttelton Times.

We undetstand that the Railway Department have been approached to alter the railway time-table again so that the trains now leaving Foxton on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, will leave under (he new arrangements at 9 a.m. This will practically bring the service to almost what it was originally, with the exception that there would be a mid-day train from Pal merston on Mondays, and the difference in time of arrival of trains on Satqrday night in Foxton.

A senseless individual has lately been amusing himself by acting the ghost on the main road a short distance north of Amberley, Canterbury. About a fortnight ago some children received a scare from a white sheet-covered figure, and last Saturday night a young man cycling along the road was suddenly confronted by the apparition and fell of his machine with fright. On regaining his feet his courage returned, and pulling off his coat he offered to fight the ghost. The masquerader was equally ready for a bout, and the encounter ended in the cyclist being left tangled up in his machine, and his assailant making off across the railway line and the fields beyond. Two young men riding from Waipara towards Amberley came on the scene when the struggle was in progress, but they were so alarmed at the apparition that they turned their horses and took the back trail at top speed. At the Supreme Court in Napier on Tuesday afternoon during the hearing of a serious criminal case those assembled in the place provided for the public indulged in an outburst of laughter at a portion of the evidence, which drew forth the remark from his Honor to the Inspector of Police : “Do you know who that was ? Arrest any person you see doing that and I will send him to gaol.” The Inspector (says the Telegraph) pointed out a young man who had his face buried in his hands, and he was marched before the judge who said “ Why were you disturbing the Court ?" The prisoner plaintively replied that he did not know, and that he did not do it intentionally. His Honor: “On other occasions I have sent prisoners to gaol who have done what you just did. I will let you off this time. You had better retire from the Court if you do not want to get into further trouble." The young man acted on the suggestion, and those who remained refrained from further outbursts of hilarity.

■SANDER and SONS EUOALPYTI EXTRACT. According to reports of a great number if physicians of the hightest professional standing, there are offered Euoalpyti Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities. In protection of the world wide fame of Zanders and Sons preparation we publish a few abstracts from these reports, which bear fully out that no reliance can be nlaoed in other products Dr. W. B. Rush, Oakland Fla., writes It is sometimes difficult to obtain the genuine article fSander and Sons). I employed different ither 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 we 1 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 '•reparation other than Sander and Son . as I found the others to be almost useless.” Dr J. T. Oormell, Kansas City, Kans.-, says —“ Care has to be exercised not ro be supplied with spurious preparation-, as done by my supply druggist.” Dr H. H. Hart, New York, says—“ft goes witho. t saying that Sander and Sons’ Euoalypi Extract is the best in the market.” Dr James Reekie, Fairview, N.
