The Empire Hotel, Featherston, had a very narrow esoape from being burnt down yesterday during the strong gale of wind that prevailed. An eye witness informs us that the chimney caught on fire and with the strong wind from the hills was soon blazing several -feet above the house. Men were stationed at the Railway Station with buckets of water in ordor to prevent the burning soot and sparks, wbioh were blown down, from igniting the building, and for about twenty minutes there was great fear of the hotel, Luckily it has an iron roof, or it must inevitably haye been burnt to the ground,

Mr Bunny had a large and attentive audience at Grey town on Tuesday evening there being over two hundred persona present. Mr P. H. Wood fclio Mayor waß voted- to the chair, and in a few well obosen remarks claimed for Mr Bunny a fair and patient hearing, Mr Bunny was received with applause, Ho necessarily wont over the same ground as at Carterton, During the course of his speech ho wished. to oorroofc a mistake which ho had made at Carterton with respect to what Mr Buchanan had said at Feathorston in re9pect to the Customs duty.. He had been misinformed and, he was quite willing to admit his mistake. In answer to questions he said that he did support the division of the Wairarapa Into two electorates, and Wellington Into three, people often make mistakes. Mr Brooks asked if he had been consulted as to the allotting of members for the different ridings in the county, and if so, why Greytown had only received one whi je all the others received two. Mr Bunny could not remember whether he had been consulted or not. If it was so he was sorry for it. but sometimes ridings were belter with one member than two. Mr A Gray asked if tho candidate did not know that the fine for killing a ferret did not affect anyone who killed one era their property without their sanction. Mr Bunny said Mr A, Gray probably knew more about the law than he did. He might have made a mistake If it was aa Mr Gray said the law was as he wished it. Mr A. Gray asked why Mr Sutton's name had been imported into that meeting, and if Mr Bunny had seen two telegrams in that day's Daily, in which the Hon Mr Dick had said that they had chargeß against Mr Sutton, and that his remarks about Massrs Beetham and Buchanan were incorrect. Mr Bunny said Mc Buohanan had introduced the question at Featherston, and that was the reason he brought it up. He was not going to be dictated to as to what he would say at a public meeting. Mr Gray disclaimed any such intention.' In reply tO_Mr Brooks he said that he was not going into leading strings to Mr Beetham it would; be more fitting for Mr Beetham to follow him. In reply to Mr E. Gray he would support Hansard being sent t'o all electors who applied for it. After a fa* questions from Mr O'Connor and Mr Trotter, Mr H. Jackson asked if Mr Bunny were in favor of impuitiug stoats, weasels, ferrets, &o. Mr Bunny said that if fairly represented that they were required he would not pledge himself to vote against their introduction. Mr E, Gray asked if he was in fa\or of the toll gate being done away with.

The date of Mr Beetham's Gladstone meeting is altered from Thursday to Friday at 7 p.m. Mr Bunny made a ridioulous statement at his Greytown meoting last eveninn, viz., that the Eev W. Booth wrote a certain leader which appeared in the Wairarapa Daily. _ Mr Booth has never whiten a single line in our leading columns since the Wairarapa Daily was published I Mr Bunny appears to be making endless mistakes—and very stupid ones into the bargain. Mr Dick, speaking to a N.E. Valley meeting last night said that the present management was not calculated to render railways a commercial success, He therefore would be agreeable to trying tho experiment of a non political railway board, When a new Parliament was elected no party would be strong enough to command confidence, and there must be coalition. He was not altogether satisfied with his own party, because in some matters he did not agree with them and quite possibly might not find himself prepared to follow the lead as ho had done in the past. He' hoped a party warfare simply for treasury benches be done away with,

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS. nro never imitated or cowiierfeited This is especially true of a, family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of tho highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H, 8,, and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8,, with variously devised names in which the word " Hop " or " Hops" were used in a way' to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word ■" Hop" or " Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them, Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bimch.or cluster of Green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule's name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and Chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counterBits.
