Under date March. 27th Mr J. Squirrell, of Shaftesbury, writes : “ The comet was again visible last night in about the same position as when it first appeared.”

The death is announced of Mr Art Luo: M. Edwards, organising secretary of the New Z aland Liberal and Labour Federation, which took place at Woodside (Auckland) Private JL »s----pttal on Tuesday last. Deceased, who has lately resided in Wellington, was well-known throughout the colony in connecting with organising work. Mr ; Edwards was formerly a school teacher in Waikato, from w’bich he resigned to accept his late position. Mr Edwards was in Te Aroha last week. A little excitement was occasioned in 'Wiiitaker-street early on Thursday morning. Whilst assisting in hitching a pair of restive horses to Mr Geo. McCullagh’s buggy Mr A.. Storey patted one of them on the rump, to which the animal responded in auuitfriendly manner, and turned round with its head facing to the buggy. It’s mate also followed suit, and for a time things wore only middling. Order was ultimately restored and the quadrupeds were prevailed on. to allow themselves to be yoked up. All went well till the order for starting was given, when the cause of the former trouble suddenly stood upon his hind legs and landed on his back. His companion, not to be outdone in such a manner, likewise stood on his hind legs, and also turned over.. For a time a tangled mass of Legs, traces, reins, collars, etc., were visible on the road, and it looked odds on that very little would bo left of either in a sound state, but eventually the pole of the buggy broke into several pieces, and the horses were thus enabled to regain their feet without further mishap beyond smashing the pole. Nothing Like Oil.—“ln dealing with man, remember that a spoonful of oil will go farther than a gallon of vinegar.” The same may be said of children. There is nothing so good for children as the old-fashioned caster oil. However much they abhor it, it is theii best medicine fordisorderof the bowels. In the most severe cases of diarrhoea and dysentery, however Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy should be given, after the oil operates, and a quick cure is sure to follow.

The Bth clause of the Electoral Act Amendment Act, I’9oo>. raises a point of some importance to newspaper men, and one, we believe, that has so far escaped notice. The clause sets forth that “It shall not he lawful for any person to canvass for votes for or on behalf of any candidate or candidates, whether for payment, or otherwise,, and ,(here follow the penalties). It seems clear from this that amv journal which champions the cause of a candidate,, commending him to the support of electors or urging electors to vote for him, will lay its proprietor open to a charge of canvassing. It seems impossible to escape the conclusion that an electioneering.- article is the very refinement of canvassing, for its intent is obvious and it is specifically addressed, to tho electors.. We shall be interested to hoar the opinion of our contemporaries on the point. The clause in our opinion can be readily turned against any paper by an angry disappointed candidate.

McKay, Moresby, MueHler, J. Short, Jackson aud J. Eagar. About one o’clock on Friday morning the flrebell rang out an alarmJudgiug by the way in which the bell spoke the general opinion was that half the town was in flames. In a very short time the bright moon showed both young and old in a half dressed state sprinting for dear life in the. direction of the glare, only to find what might be considered the oldest quilding in Te Aroha, a four-roomed cottage situated within the pound enclosure, bein reduced to ashes. The building was unoccupied aud uninsured, and the origin of the fire remains a mystery.. The Fire Brigade arrived on the scene, but too late: to save the house.. The fire proved one thing—that the idea of hitching a horse to the reel is a mistaken one j. unless the- animal is always kept in readiness at or near the Brigade station.

A Certain: Cure for Dysentery and Diarrhoea.—“Some years ago I was one of a party that intended making a long bicycle trip,” says F. L. Taylor, of New Albany, Bradford Co., I J a., tj. S.. A. “ I was taken suppenly with diarrhoea,, and was about to give up the trip, when editor Ward,, of the Lnceyvilie Messenger, suggested that E take a dose of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I purchased a bottle and took two doses, one before starting and one on the route. I made the trip successfully and never felt any ill effect. Again last summer I was almost completely run down with an attack of dysentery. I brought a bottle of this same remedy and this time one dose cured me. Sold by W.H. Wright, Agent, Te Aroha,
