“If there is anyone here who. has not 4Jd worth of loyalty to their dead Queen, well, I will lend it to them,” was a remark made by Mr Witty at Papanui last week in defending his action in voting for £15,000 towards Ihe Queen’s memorial.

Ellison, the wellknown footballer, who was recently committed to the Porirua Asylum is dying in that institution.

An almost incredible story ot a girl being buried and leaving bet grave is published in the paper at Vienna. The girl was Helene Frilsch, the daughter of a rich farmer at Egerszeg, in Hungary. She was buried with great pomp, md the rings she wore were left on her fingers. At nine o’clock in the evening of the same day there was a knock at the window of the sexton’s house, and the sexton was horrified to see the face of the girl he had buried. Three fingers of her right hand were missing. She stated that she had been awakened by feeling great pain, and on opening her eyes saw two men climbing up a ladder from the grave. The top of the coffin had been smashed in by the men, whose object was to steal the rings she wore. They had cut off her fingers, and it was the pain they caused that roused her from her death-like trance. SANDER and SONS EUCALPYTI EXTRACT.
