The Foxton Brass Band make their first public appearance on Saturday evening, when they intend giving several selections in Main-street between 8 and 9 o’clock. We regret to learn that last night as Mr W. Dudson was riding homewards, he fell from his horse and met with severe injuries to his head. Dr Graham was at once sent for, and on arrival ordered Mr Dudson’s removal to his hospj||l, whence he was taken by train this morning. Four constables are scouring Blenheim district in search of three escapees from the Dungree prison works. Two of them, O’Keefe and Smith, were serving sentences for burglary committed at Dunedin, and the former has a lengthy list of convictions against him.

The festive butcher boy has been distinguishing himself at Gore. On Friday two butcher boys had a quarrel In the hack part of a shop. One (named Booth) got a pea rifle and fired a blank cartridge at the other youth (named Russell). He then procured another cartridge, which Russell states contained a bullet, but which Booth affirms was only loaded with soap, and fired it at Russell’s foot. The charge, what;e,ver St whß, went through Russel’s boot' and cut the flesh of one ot his toes. A search failed-ip reveal the presence of a ,bullet. ' "

What we negroes need is more education. We need schools, and we dont need to learn songs like " Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow,” a song that I would not tolerate being sung in my presence.”

For the last week or so (writes the Norsewood correspondent of the'* Dannevirke Advocate ’’ of Saturday) there has been quite a sensation in Takapau. Two men out rabbiting on an estate in the vicinity came across a steer shot dead, and ahindquartergone, and later they came across a sheep also killed and skinned. The police were sent for, and, after some search the miscreant’s camp was found in a rata tree. A sheep skin was on the ground, on which it was presumed he had been lying, and the crevices in the tree were blocked up with bark, so that the light from the fire could not be seen. There were no signs of the man himself. However, nothing was heard of until the day before yesterday, when a man, seeing smoke in a section adjoining that in which the outrage had been committed, got a number of men together and made for the smoke. The man was too smart for the party again, as only a camp similar to the last was found. There is some excitement and many commas 39 tQ vfto U cap be.

A death of an infant occured at the Waiokura pah, Manaia, the other day, under most peculiar conditions. The child, which was about five weeks old, was left by itself in one of the whares for a stretch of seven or eight hours, and, when the mother went for it, found to her horror that the baby had been attacked by rats. Portions of the face and arms were eaten away, while the body did not escape the attention of the rodents.—Waimate Witness. An unwelcome visitor to a house _ at Feilding who admired the charming daughter of the family tfot a little rebuff the other night that made him think a bit. The young lady had just finished a vocal effort when the chap said, “ that’s a lovely song; it always carries me away.” “If I had known how much pleasure It could give us both I would have sUng it earlier in the evening,” she replied. He sat still and thought—then saw it—and went home. Footballers and intending spectators at the Biitaiu-New .Zealand football match in Wellington on August 13th, take it for granted that special excursion trains will run in connection with the match, but so far the'W. and M. Railway Company has not made a move in the matter. There is no doubt as to the paltortage that would be accorded specials both on Friday night and Saturday morning, but a return train on Saturday night would be an indispensable part of the concession which, if acceded to, Is likely to prove a most remunerative one to the com' pany. —Standard; Felix fanner, o£ ” Tanfier’s Ark " notoriety, writing to a Waihi friend, states that some of the newspapers assert that he is mad because of his ark excursions. Mr Tanner adds thst notwithstanding these statements,!' tbecct was considerable theory in bis madness, because in the event of his voyage proving a success he should be some hundreds of pounds the richer. Mr Tanner goes on to say that it was Captain Voss, of the.Tilikqm, who, putthe idea into his head, tyif be ahHci pated that the first attempt would fdtl. This was fully borne output his second attempt from Wanganui to. Wellington failed by only eight miles out of a hundred traversed. The barrel craft, ..Mr Tanner states, provided a good sea boat, and his experience warrants him building another, SANDER and SONS EDOALPYTI EXTRACT. According to reports of a great number of physicians of the highteat professional standing, there are offered Euoalpyti Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities. In protection of the world wide fams 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 products:—Dr. W. B. Rush, Oakland F>a., 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 oamphora, the objectionable action of which is well known.” Dr H. B. Drake, Portland, Oregon, aays—"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. Prestot’s Lynchburg, Va., writes—" I never used a;,y preparation other than Sander and Son s, as I found the others to be almost useless,” Dr J. T. Cormell, Kansas Oily, Kans.-, savs —“ Care has to be exercised not 1.0 b > supplied with spurious preparation -, as done by my supply druggis .” Dr H. H. Hart, New York, says—"Jt goes wuho it 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 Eucalypti Extract that I carry it with me wherever I go. I find it most nsefnl in diarrhoea, all throat troubhs bronchitis, etc.”
