At the -Resident Magistrate's Court at Spring Grove to-day, Lawrence Dron was fined £1 and costs £1 16s for assaulting John Palmer, or in default seven days imprisonment. Having made the mental calculation that £2 16s for seven days was qqual to eight shilliugs a day, a rate of wage not easily obtainable in these dull times, Mr Dron elected to " take it out," and in consequence was a free passenger by the afternoon train eh route to her Majesty's gaol in Nelson.

Evert Temperaxce Laav hitherto framed admits the necessity of stimulantskis medicines, and no teetotaller of sense denies that they are essential elements of cure in . a variety of diseases. Only fanatics deny the utility of an alcoholic preparation. The rapid and positive cures of nervous debility, dyspepsia, kidney, and bladder complaints, uterine ailments, wrought by Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps. give the lie to those who deny the utility of spirituous medicines. — Advt.
