A strange story of the disappearance of a large parcel of gold—l3o ounceshas been going the rounds lately (says the Cromwell Argus). The treasure was the result of a washing-up in a claim somewhere in the vicinity of Kirtlebuxn, and not cariDg to have such wealth about hit person or premises, the managing partner snugly stowed the gold away among the rocks adjacent to a pig stye till a more convenient season. To his dismay, on going to his "plant" some time after•wards, lo! it had disappeared, and no trace of the precious metal was to be found. Me Wm. McCdelottgh having been appointed tigonfc on tlie Thames for the Imperial Fire Insurance Company, is prepared to take | risk? a! the lowest rates. The Imperial Com pany was established in. 1803, and has a j capital of £1,600,000, wilh its head office at No.. 1, Old Broad street, London. The Mcl bourne directory has upon ifc some of the most j influentiiil men in that city, and the name the Company has gained for itself by itß prompt and liberal seLtlement of claims, while charging moderate rtii.es, has secured a large amount of business not only in Australian Colonies, but in all parts ot the world in which agencies have been established. —AI>VT. HOLLOWAVS PILLS.—Safe, yet Effective.—No other Medicine combines the same purifying, alterative, and tonic properties, which have raised these Pills so highly in the estimation of the public. In diseases arising from unhealthy situations, close apartments, and sedentary occupations, no means so potent for cooling, cleansing, and regulating the human body can be found. Holloway's Pills wonderfully improve a weak digestion by augmenting the gastric secretions and moderately rousing the functions •of the liver, hence their well-known power of removing tainted breath, and remedying every -other dyspeptic unpleasantness. They entirely overcome the lethargic symptoms attending bad digestion, and have for years been esteemed the best and the safest family aperient. * They are particularly suitable for young females and children.
