There is no tonic so po'ent *s vr<rc atnms-ph-ie. nor is tice any medicine 1 alt so pie i ant and ell'- ctuah as a preventive and em-dive, as the I rachig air, tem-ered by the g.iiid warmth of the sun. Oamaru.s s-i iibri' us cliimre pos-esses in an eminent deree these (i ualiimalions. No one is ever heard to excluin in Oamaru. '" I 'ear me. this weather is almost intolerable," a complaint as common in buuedin. only GO mile-; south, as mud in the Civets of ti.at city in winter, ni d du.-t in summer : but we hive otten heard pu>p!e .1- , lore the long spills of Laiadis:aoal weather with which Oamaru is favour, d, for the leas.n, we suppose, that variety is charmirg. To the inva.id. the 111spbation of i lie ozone in our atmosphere imparts new life-, whilst the. Lcauiiful see nery bv which our town is suriouiid d tends in n<> small degree to a leviate ihe pangs of suffering ami to divert the mmd. A more peifeet e-K slum it would be diihcult to tmd. it is. then, not surprising that those who have been subjected to prolonged illness in populous centres shou.d take r. i'uge m Oamaru as a sanatorium that will aid recoveiy to health, if anything will. We h ve seen peifeet wrecks of hum..ni y, after a residence in Oamaru of a few months, d< p. rt in a f.dr way to attain to a state of \igorous health. '1 lie uuexc died climate of < Uunaru, coup eel with the commercial prosperity ot the d.s rict, is fast increasing our popu ation. Gradually our u if.pio wlute st.uic town is bursting into a full-blown city, and. in pmnfc of ini abitants and an earauce, it wilLh-'i'tly ! e. better entitled to the latter appellation i'i.iu are other New Zea'and cities whose names we rei'iain from mentioning lest we should make some elLsalislied with their lot. The next addition to our business men will be Air. Thomas Leveiidge, of Dunedin, who has carried on a largo tailoring business there since the early days of the settlement of this Provincial District. It is, we lelieve, Mr. Pcveridge's intention to join Air. .Macfarlane in business. We believe that Mr. lieveridge will conduct the tailoring department oi Mr. Macfarlane's business.

'•' Our Cirls," said to be the most sparkling of all Byron's brii iaiit comedies, v> ill be performed this evening, for the first time m Oauii.ru, by Mr. J. L. Hall's Gaiety Company Ti.is com [any Las been greatly strengthened since it was here some few nienhs ago, and ha< been playing m l>imedin with eon id rab c success ''imr Oiris drawing crowded hoii-es ni.ht after night. In addition to "Our G-i:ls" Mr. Hall intends treating the residents or Oamaru to severed other capita! pieces, a<.d we trust his efforts to amuse and instruct will meet with a tiering amount of support. '1 he e are those in our community who cannot, lor a variety of reasons, visit a large city and witness the

performances of a full company such as are, as a rule, only to be found there. Such persons, who are mostly iadies, have usually to content themselves with the newspaper reports of hovy other people enjoyed themselves, which, j.ii-2v Ail., is but m-xl?rateiy satisfactory. Mi. Hail is ivuordirig the Oamaruviaiis something more substantial than newspaper criticisms commenting upon the great succe-s of Byron's sparkling comedy of "Our Giils." He has brought his large company here, and, so far as the acting is concerned, ilie performances wi'.l be just as good as tho-e which called forth the most nattering enconiums from the Dunedin Press that we have read for some time. Mrs. Hall's first appearance in (laniaru will doubtless prove an attraction, after the popularity th it lady has gained wherever she lias appeared.
