Pkoit.e nro seeking information rts to the ramii d'etre of that abominably ugly lamp ' post wh ich, with such shocking taste, has been stu ck up in the centre of the Church steps. If it is to be suffered to remain there to spoil the view during the day (which it is to be hoped for the credit of the town and Council it will not bo for long) they argue with some show of reason that it might be madejas useful asit is unornamental by lighting the gas on a dark dismal Sunday night when a number of people are moving'about in that locality. Thir was not done last night, and therefore it is that the question is being asked more frequently and more loudly than ever— Who put that lamp post there, aud why did he or they do it? The following Volunteer appointments are gazetted : — Second-Lieut. Burton West to be Lieutenant, date of commission, Feb. 7th ; his Lordship, the Right Kev. Andrew Burn Suter, D.D., to be Honorary Chaplain. Nelson Artillery Cadets : Charles Sharp to be Captain. Date of commission, Feb. 28th. A telegram to the i W dated London Hth inst. says : — " A most desperate and successful resistance is being made to the occupation of Bosnia by Austria. The Bosnians are completely triumphant, and have compelled the whole of the Austrian divisions to retreat. The matter assumes a serious complexion, as involving a danger of grave European difficulties and complications." In consequence of representations from Reefton and Westport the proposed changes in the Warden's Courts are not to be carried out until the end of the session, when certain alterations will be considered imperative. We see, by advertisement, that Mr Greenwood, dentist, has arrived in Nelson, and may be consulted professionally for a short time. The usual monthly meeting of the Permanent Building Society will" be held this evening. The monthly meeting of the Tradesmen's Athletic Club will be held this evening at half-past seven. The blessing of old age is health and comfort. These are assured to the careful in middle age ; but accident or misapprehension of the best modes of maintaining the system in a well-balanced state of health often lead to the retting up of diseases in the constitution, which show themselves in after life. Persons of 7G years of age have been cured by the use of "Ghoixaii's Gheat Indian Cukiis," which can be had of all Chemists. Testimonial.— 109 Elizabeth Street, October 13, 18(39. Sir, -I have great pleasure in giving my testimony to the effect of Ghollah's Indian Cures. I have been afflicted for several months past with diarrhoea and dysentery, so much so that it was with difficulty I could attend to my work as engineer. I took three bottles of Ghollah's Indian Cures, and I. am quite recovered, aud as well as ever I was in my life.
