The adventure of Mr Samuel Pick- ■ wioh in a lady's bedrooom, which in the dark he had mistaken for bis own (says tbe Melbourne Leader) had something like a practical repetition a | short time since st Toorak. A large l party of both Bexes had assembled to celebrate^ the Christmas festivities. One youog lady who possessed a keen relish for practical jokes, determined quietly on exacting the part of a ghost. Seeing an opportunity when good nights were being exchanged, my fair friend Blipped away to her o»n room and after disrobing herself, and assuming the robe de nuit, betook herself to a neighboring room, in which she anticipated another fair damsel would be located. Pending the anticipated arrival concealment was sought underneath the bed. Judge of the damsel's horror when, after some quarter of an hour's waiting, a oreature in whiskers appeared, with his bed candle, evidently intent on passing the night in the chamber. Tbo horrors endured by tbe damsal under the bed may be understood. After four hours' confinement she managed to creep out and regain her own room, trembling for fear the creature should awake. This is no romance, and the lesson has had, we're are glad to say, rather a quieting effect.

-.-_■ Vicar of Bra y is nofc 7 et dead - Messrs Woolcock and Kennedy, at the banquet on Thursday evening, intimated their intention to give Sir George Grey's Government their support during the approaching session.— G. R. Argus. There i. a great depression of trade in the North of England, Staffordshire, South Wales, and the Forest of Dean. At the latter place men are employed in making roads at 2s 6d per day. In South Wales there are thousands without employment, who, with their families, are in a state of semi-starvation. Numbers go to work without food, but carry their hampers in their hands to hide their honest poverty. Unless trade speedily revives, the prospect is very gloomy, and some national relief on a large scale will have to be rendered, as the local charitable institutions already i fl °. tn . calls u P on tbem too great. At Crickbridal the paupers in the workhouse had to go without their Christmas dinner, as many of those who supported them had to ko without food. New Zealand of the past and New Zealand of the present are two very different things. In the early days, when all was prosperity, and the denizen of the forest breathed the pure air of Heaven, the human frame and constitution had all the chance of robust health ; but now that thickly populated cities and towns have sprung up, with the attendant bad habits and worse drainage a remedy is called for that wili counteract all the baneful effects of the existing and growing evils. This is to be found at every Chemist's. Ask for •'Ghollah's Great Indian Cures." Testimonial— Dunedin. January 5, 1877. The proprietor of Ghollah s Great Indian Cures Sir— Having re ceived very great benefit from the use of your Indian Rheumatism Mixture, I feel it to be my duty to state that previous to taking your medicine I had been suffering for several years from severe Rheumatic Gout, my hands and feet being much swollen and inflamed, and very painful, and my general health much deranged. At the time I was induced to try your Rheumatism Mixture I was suffering most intensely, the pains being most excruciating and I was unable to leave the house or attend to my business. I have therefore the greatest pleasure in stating I got the most extraordinary relief in two or three days after taking your medicine, and I was able to go out and attend to my business. I have continued using your medicines, and have ever since been able to attend to my business, and have had the free use of my limbs, my appetite is good and my general health much improved I may mention that I found an occasional dose of the Gout Mixture to be of great service. I strongly recommend others to try your medicines. Yours gratefully, (Signed) Richard Hodgetts.
