Moses, Moss & Co., Sydney., General Agents. Mr Panter has rempved, during the alterations to the old block of buildings, to those premises lately occupied as Powell's Dining Rooms, where he is prepared to supply the wants of his customers as heretofore. ' Messrs J. and W. Williams, tho popular drapers of Newton, have removed to now and commodious premises opposite the grocery store of Mr Worren, where they hope to hold a levee, and see all their old friends and customers as usual daily. " You must be careful in your use of nitric acid," said a professor of chemistry to his class, " for, when benzoylnaphtylamid is treated with acid, two isotneric monitrobenzoylnaphtylamide are formed, one yielding monononamidobenzonoaphtylamide, the other akydrobenzodiamidonaphalene, and an explosion is sure to follow." Can't Peeach Good. — No man can do a good job of work, preach a good sermon, try a lawsuit well, doctor a patient, or write a good article when he feels miserable and dull, with sluggish brain and unfltrung nerves, and none should make the attempt in in such a condition when it can be so easily and ■cheaply removed by a little Hop Bitters. Look for. Mrs Lester's saloon is now the fashionable sresort for hairdressing, &c, both sexes receiving every attention at the bands of this skilled manipulator of the cranium. The lady's specialities, such as her Condition Cream for restoring the hair, and other specifics, are steadilyj coming into public favour and demand. See advertisement for testimonials. Mr Oppenheimer has a splendid spec 1 in that gamfield, and deserves success as the reward of his ■enterprise and pluck. Of course, the precise value of this monoply cannot at present be accurately estimated, fcut judging from the enormous business done by finerchauts iv New Zealand, and the large profits derived • from the g-um trade, Mr Oppenheimer is on the laiglixoad to fortune. We wish him success. Hitchous' Blood Restorer appears to have lost none of Ls efficacy, and is evidently highly appreciated i>E the printer, who recently increased tho price to 15s peV bottle without any authority from the patentee. We have pleasure in making the correction, because it has been stated that tho medicine is worth its weight ii gold, and the printer appears to have believed it to be silver, whilst its intrinsic worth still remains unchanged, .and its real value priceless and unparalleled. "Brief." March 1881.— The "Royal Amethyst" Velveteen is one which will become a great favourite, the colour being excellent, being blue black, without possessing that extremely blue tint some velveteens have, and which fenders them unfit for imxing with other black materials. The " Royal Amethyst" is [distinguished by the peculiarity of having it same stamped upon the Belvedgc of the veWeteen.where it can be easily seeu. The pile is perfectly fast, and is very close and firm, the fabric itself being thinner and lighter than velveteen usually is; it makes up much better r and is more like Lyons and Genoa Velvets in wear.. w^The fatal collision between the two New Zeathe Waitara and the Hurunui, which took pTiSS last June, so graphically described by the London •qp^ecial correspondent of the Star, shows the amount of pluck and presence of mind exhibited by all concerned ; -.and the account of the affair, given by a young lady from Dunediu who was on her return to New Zealand, ; sliould make all the inhabitants of this part of the jglobe proud of her. According to her statement, on ffeeling the shocfc she jumped out of her berth, stopping ;±o put on a pair of stockings and an ulster to keep oat •■the severe cold ; and she afterwards attended to tho .^rescued and administered to their comforts as only ••woman can do. Now the ulster she wore was made of New Zealand tweed, now beooming popular everywhere, <±he celebrated Mosgiel tweed, otf which Messrs Mimro :and Milligan, of Hobson- street, havo just received a large and choice shipment, and everyone proud of the land they live in should pay their establishment a visit And get a suit.
