The Young Men's Christian Association will hold its first meeting iv Mr Campbell's schoolroom to-morrow evening. In a letter to the Ashburton Echo, Mr Alfred Saunders speaks of the Agent-Gene-ral in the following terms :— " I have the utmost faith in Mr Vogel's ability to place this colony before the British public in the best possible light, but those who know our Agent-General will not think him exactly the man to be leffc alone with millions of money, even if it were his own." A cable message from London the other week announced the loss of H.M. Eurydice and 404 souls. The following particulars relative to the ill-fated ship are given by a Sydney paper:— The Eurydice was the last of the sailing ships in the Royal Navy. She was a sixth-rate, and considered to be the handsomest vessel in the service. She registered 1014 tons, carried four guns, and was ÜBed as a training ship for ordinary seamen. She was commissioned on the 7th February, 1877, and was returning from the West Indies. The following is a list of her officersr—Captain M. A. S. Hare, Lieutenants F. H. Tabor, W. E. Black, S. A. B. Burney Navigating Lieutenant N. Child, Staffsurgeon J. W. Whitney, Paymaster F. Pillman, Sub-Lieut. Hon E. N. Gifford, Surgeo,n N. Murdock, gunner E. Allen, boatswains j. Warren, W. Brewer, assistant clerk W. Lamont, and a crew of 300 blue-jackets. The strong common seme of the public is always in the end more than a match for fraud, imposture, and pretention. Probably within the last twenty years, five hundred attempts have been made to imitate or pirate Udolpho Wolfe's Schikuam Aromatic Schnapps, all of which have been disastrous to the parties concerned. Neither sceret fraud, nor open competition can affect the popularity of this famous invigorant. It stands at the head of the tonics and corrective of the age, as the supreme remedy for dyßpepsia, general debility, nervous weakness, urinary disease and rheumatic affections. — Advt. The freedom of New Zealand from snakes and venomous reptiles is a matter of great rejoicing ; but good people of New Zealand look well to yourselves, and see that no lurking serpent is nestling within you. You may be neglecting the stealthy encroachments of Borne deadly serpent in the form of insidious disease. Take the antidote ere it be too fate. Whatever stage of disease you may be suffering, those marvellous medicines, " Ghollah's Great Indian Cures," can save you -Testimonial — Eve-street, Invercargill, Ist March, 1876. SiR,-Having been relieved and greatly benefittedby Ghollah's Aperient, 4. Have no hesitation, in testifying to its value.
