A boy named Thomas Watson, aged ten yean-, son of Thomas Watson, engineer of the steamer Tui, was found drowned in the harbour at the Gas Works this morning. It is believed he was fishing off tho trestle work used in connection with the reclamation and foil off.

To the Public— l, the undersigned, do this day make the following statement, in hopes that others who have gone through a similar affliction may profit thereby ".—For many months have I been sick ; so bad that life was a burden. The mental depression and physical prostration were something that cannot be described. Doctors and patent medicines I have tried without any relief, but getting worse all the time. As a forlorn hope I called on Dr. Speer, Palmerston Buildings, Queen-street. He examined me, and without asking a question, gave me every symptom I had. Said he would treat me. From the first teaspoonful of his medicine I felt relief, and have been constantly getting better ever since. Words cannot express my gratitude. The above statement I make without any solicitation, and I am willing to verify the same before a J.P.— Respectfully yours, R, ADAMgOW, Charlotte-street, Eden Tcrya.ce.
