LOCAL AND GENERAL.

The Breakwater tram car got off the the rails at the Egmont Street corner about C 30 p.m. on Saturday, just at the time of the heavy downpour. The car was got on the line again very expeditiously, the service only being delayed about twenty minutes. Mr. C. A. Wilkinson (Egmont) gave notice in the House on Friday of his intention to move: "That there he laid before this House a return showing the number of arrivals and departures to and from the Dominion as from the outbreak of the present war of all foreigner*, also Asiatics claiming to be British subjects: the return to show the sex and nationality of such persons."

Commenting on the transfer of Southern Taranaki from the Wanganui Education District to the Taranaki district, the Hawera Star says: "The admisintration from New Plymouth, we hope and believe, will be such that the same may be said of it by those who have to review it in time to come. The past is reassuring on that point W< have quite grateful remembrance that when this portion of the district was under Taranaki management in respect of hospital and charitable aid, no pains were spared at New Plymouth to make the institutions here efficient and successful." Our contemporary is to be congratulated on the public spirit evinced in the above remarks

Four very beautiful stained glass windows, which have been erected in St. Mary's Church in memory of the late Mr. Clement W. Govett, will be unveiled on Sunday, July ft. One set of windows, representing' "Our Lord Blessing Children," was presented by Mrs. F. G. Evans, in memory of her brother, and the other two windows, "Mary, Martha and our Lord," have been erected to the memory of the late Mr. Govett by parishioners of St Mary's. The windows are of extremely handsome design, and form a very valuable addition to the church. A memorial brass to the late Archdeacon Govett, which is being placed in the transept, will be unveiled at the same time as the windows.

Speaking on the agricultural vote in the House, at the close of Friday night's sitting, the Premier said the Board of Trade was doing good work. He had received a letter from Auckland which stated that as the result of the board's visit the price of coal had been reduced there bv 2s per ton. As the result of the board's visit to another town the price of bread had been reduced. So far as sugar was concerned, he did not like to make a premature statement, but he could inform the House that the existing arrangement had been renewed with the Sngai Company, which was estimated to save the people of this Dominion £300,000. The board was settling down to work, and he had no doubt it would fulfil the expectations of those who were responsible for it.

While the Dominion Dairy Show is on. F. J. Boase and Co. are making a special display of farming books mid presentation goods for "the man on the land." Visitors to Hawera are invited to inspect the showing. See the firm's advertisement in this issue of the News. IT IS THF DISTINCTIVE QUALITY OF SANDER'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT—its freedom from resins and woody impurities, its great antiseptic healing, stimulating powers, and its aa f e tj—that prompted the highest medical authorities to recommend it as the only eucalvptus produced fit for internal use'. At the Supreme Court at Victoria a witness testified that he was made much worse by a substitute which was sold as "just'as good" as SANDER'S EXTRACT, and his trouble (ulcer) was healed rapidly by the GENUINE SANDER'S EXTRACT afterwards. In disease it is the drop which cures that counts, and the common eucalyptus which is fit for mechanical purposes, such ns making varnish pnly, should never be employed' as a remedial agent. SANDER'S EXTRACT can be used on the most tender surface or internally with perfect safety, and when taken as directed will always benefit.
