A Napier telegram to the Post says that Mrs Fairchild, the wife of the captain of the Hinemoa, has been presented by the Government with a handsome set of diamond earrings and lockets to match, for services rendered by Captain Fairchild in recovering the broken end of the Cook Straits cable. Capt. Fairchild refused any remuneration on his own behalf. A Napier telegram, dated December Ist, says:— Early this morning a lad named Filing hatn, aged fourteen, accidentally shot himself at Waipawa, the gun having been presented to him by his uncle the day previous. In attempting to measure the gun with one of his father's, which was loaded, in lifting it up the hammer caught the edge of tha bed, and the gun went off, the contents lodging in the lad's side. This is the third accident in the same family this year. One of the sons lost his life drinking boiling hot tea out of a teapot, one was drowned, and another shot. An _ attempt to rob the sick of a means of cure is nothing less than a crime. Many such attempts have been made by clothing inflamatory nostrums with imitations of the labels, style of bottle, etc., of the most genia 1 . tonic and active remedy for derangement of the stomach, liver, bowels, and breathing organs ever prescribed by the faculty and used by the public. But re'ther trickery nor competition has been able to affect the reputation of the medicine referred to, Udolpiio Wolm's Schibdam Aromatic Schnapps.— Advt.
