Jolley, 35 years of age, mailman, left Tatu oa Sunday for Whangamoinoua with the mails. The diatauae is 25 miles, and he baa not since been heard of. It is surmised that Jolley lost His life crossing the Tungarakau River, whioh intercepts the road at three places on his route. At the last crossing the cage was defective, and Jolley may have tried to cross the water and was sweot off the bridge. Jolley was a native of Gippsland.

The three men are heavy losers, particularly Mt Hoffeins. Saddles, bridles, watches, money and aix months provisions, were consumed by the fire. The loss is eatimated at £IOO. How the fire originated is a mystery.

The launch was evidently swamped, and the men were drowned. The Court found that the r vessel was seaworthy, but had not a ,-. duly qualified master on board, and s that the owners were not justified in g sending the vessel on the voyage to i- Porangahau. Costs amounting to b £3 13s 8d were given against the 3 Akitio Totara Sawmillmg Company. Auckland playgoers are just now ° marvelling at the ingenuity of a novel kind of entertainment being supplied to them by , the Stonham, * Morrison Company, with an instru a ment called the "Gaumont ChronoG phone." According to the Aucklfc land dailies this wonderful piece of 'f meohanism produces what the manir agetuent aptly desoribes as"articulate ing pictures," that is to say the anil- mated pictures when projected also d sing, talk, laugh, and whistle in a »i way .that is described as wonderfully , h realistic, and the audience quickly h '- forgetting that meohanioal means i- are resorted to, are led to believe that tbey are aofcually listening to and watohing at the same time the } '„ motionß of real vocalists. So realisr tic are the results that encores are '® invariably demanded, whioh clearly shows that the audience is for the time being entirely carried] away. g The "Ouronophone" was invented r " by a Parisian, and although caren fully patented throughout the world 16 the secret and meohanism is never- ? theless zealously guarded by the management, whose only explan--7 ation is that the results are obtained entirely by eleotricity. That is borne a out by the faot that the Company travels with its own engine and j. d(ynamo whioh is evidently iodiupeui sable. The papers describe the enj[ tertainment as the most interesting a and ingenious form of amusement d ever brought to the colonies. The ;0 "Chronophone" had a big run at tho ;o London Hippodrome, and the New in Zealand tour, judging from the it Auckland reoeptions should prove a ie great success. The Company will a- play a short season in Masterton flj shortly. 8 Can he Depended Upon. 36 Chamberlain's Colic Cholera, and diarr0. hoea Remedy is the most] successful medi y.

After hearing the evidence, the Court reduced tbe valuation in tbese six oases, one, however, being subject to a condition that tbe Court bad power to do so. The farm in this \ case was leased by a mother to ber ' eon, who paid the rent.

Sir Joseph Ward, interviewed at San Franoisoo, urged a reciprocal treaty between Amerioa and New Zealpnd. He stated he was sure that the colony would agree to the intro\luotion of printing paper and tinned salmon in exchange for wool and kauri gum. He was not favourable to reciprocity as regards mauufao-, tured articles as tbe industries of New Zealand had a most important bearing on tbe oolony's industrial life and articles equal to those of any other country could be turned out by the colony's workmen. In his representations in America be had urged consideration of natural products and was emphatic in stating that manufactured articles from Amerioa, or elsewhere, could not be considered. He had received a great deal of praotical support in placing the two items, wool and kauri gum, on the reciprocal list, for printing paper and tinned salmon, and stated that doubtless other products, without detriment to either country, could, after oloso investigation, be considered.

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 Thaiui is highly commended by many authorities for the last 30 years as a safe, reliable and effective remedy.
