The Dannevirke newspaper has been thrown into a state of excitement by hearing that Count Bernstorff, the late German Ambasador at Washington, was at one time a resident of Dannevirke, and was for a time the guest of Mr. F. G. Cowper. At ; hat' time he was known as Baron Ernst. The gentleman “had a most persuasive manner, and was an adept lady’s man. He had a charming way of conversing with ladies, and he had a way of acquiring information from them that in the light of after events was particularly subtle.” After leaving TCaitoke, Baron “Ernst” went on a sketching tour to Woodville, and proceeded on to Wanganui, where he spent some time with Mr. Cowper’s relatives. These incidents are said to have occurred 31 years ago. SHARLAND’S Malt Vinegar is PO i only palatable—it is wholesome. Thai is guaranteed. No mineral acid ii. SHARLAND’S.
