Petone Councillors were treated to some caustic remarks in a letter received from a ratepayer protesting against proposed heavy traffic bylaws.

A disturbance was created at a house in the Epsom distriot on Thursday afternoon, says the New Zealand Herald, by a man who demanded admittance to see one of the occupants. On his request being refused he became violent, and smashed the glass of the door, and made forcible entry through the hole made. The lady in charge vainly endeavoured to eject the intruder, and it was not until Mr Alex. Beatty, a neighbour, and others, came to her assistance that the man was got under oontrol. He was then roped down, aid tied hand and foot, and the police were communicated with, and the man taken into custody. A gentleman's boot awaits the owner at the Age office.

In an action, the cause of which was flagrant misuse of our firm name and other gross misrepresentation by an imitating company, which was tried before his Honor, Ch'ef Justice J. Madden, K.C.M.G., L.L.D., in the Supreme Court, at Melbourne, the prosecution showed: — 1. That Sander and Sons' Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract contains all medical constituents of the eucalypti, in a highly refined and pure form. 2. That it is much more powerfully healing (antiseptic) than ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 3. That it does not depress the heart like ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 4. That it contains no harmful ingredients, and 5. That it is highly commended by many authorities for the last 30 years as a safe, reliable and effective remedy, Spme imitators have tried to deceive the public by simulating our get-up; others have relied on the "just as good" game; Therefore take care and obtain the GENTJTNE SANDER AND SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT.
