"We have been compelled to hold over letters from Lothair and Xenophon, owing to pressure on our space this issue. They will appear in next issue. Mr Henry Reynolds is now busily engaged in visiting the various milk factories in Waikato, so far the offer he has been able to make to the different suppliers has been satisfactory. On Thursday, October Ist, Mr J. McNicol, in conjunction with Mr James Bodell, of Tanranga, will hold a clearing sale at Tauranga. Full particulars will appear in Tuesday's issue. Notwithstanding: several very tempting offers for his thoroughbred entire Muskapeer, Mr John Browne has decided to travel his horse in the Waikato this season, and in consequence of the favour that he is held in, the proprietor has limited the number of mares to eighty. A number of farmers interviewed Mr Hudson when the train arrived at Cambridge on Thursday, and pointed out that the loading pens were much too small for the amount of cattle traffic done at the station. Mr Hudson thought the roquest reasonable, and promised to have the matter attended to. Mr Coom, the Engineer, was not abls to be present at the meeting. Mr Charles Barwell, of Cambridge, sent a case of his cider on Wednesday last for the use of the guests at Mr Reynolds' banquet on Thursday. Through an oversight of his in not advising the committee of his wishes the cider did not appear upon the festive board. Mrs Gwynne baa however taken it in hand and will take care that this specimen of our local industries is brought to the notice of the public. The wife of Mr Medland who lives a short distance out of Hamilton and supplies milk to the Waikato Hospital and to several customers in Hamilton met with an unpleasant accident on Thursday. Just before reaching Mr Booth's house some part of the harness gave way and the trap tipped up, pitching the occupants and the milk-cans out at the back. Mrs Medland received a few nasty scratches hut otherwise escaped with the loss of the milk supply for the day. The gold medal to be uresented by Mrs Bright to the best all-round player in the Hamilton Football Club during the present season is now on view_ in Mr Howden's window. The medal is in the form of a Maltese cross, having engraved on one side a footballer in the act of kicking a goal, and on the reverse the inscription, the name of the lucky player having only to be added. The medal has been made to the special order of Mrs Bright, and is an excellent specimen of Mr Howden's skill as a jeweller and engraver. The committee of St, Paul's Church bazaar, Cambridge, met on Saturday last to make Hnal arrangements. The bazaar is to be held on the 18th and 19th September, in what w*s Lewis and Simpson's store, and His Worship the Mayor is to be asked to open the proceedings. The number of articles for sale, their variety and their quality will make a gay and useful show, Se\en ladies are to preside at the stall, and Mrs C. Hunter is to take charge of the refreshment stall. The first day will close at 7.30 p.m., as the committee do not mean to clash with tho Library concert. Luncheon at noon and tea in the evening (tickets Is each) are to be provided in the long room attached to the Council Chambers (kindly lent for the purpose), and as this part of the movement is under the management of Mesdames E. B. Walker, and R. Reynolds, the pnblie may know what to expect. An advertisement will shortly make known full particulars. We would direct the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Mr E. Hare, harbalist, hygienist and electrician, of Turner-street, Auckland, which appoars elsewhere. This gentleman is said to be a most careful, skilful and reliable man, and the judicious combination of herbal remedies with electricity have produced, in many instances, marvellous results in curing various forms of disease. Mr Hare, having for 15 years made a study of the sciences of physiology and phrenology, is in a position to diagnose the heart, lungs, kidneys, and the various vital organs, and this he does, besides giving a phrenological description of the character and treatment by electricity, free of charge. It is quite invigorating to go into Mr Hare's consultation room and be subjected to the shocks of various electrical batteries adjusted to their several degrees of strength, according to the patient's powers of endurance. Mr Hare charges very moderate prices for his medicine, which aro all compounded from the purest and most wholesome and curative hnrbs, all of which are indigenous to New Zealand. An instance of what might be called artistic surgery has been brought under our notice by Mrs Moyle, of the Wade, who called upon us with her little son of three years. Tho httlo follow fell upon a hot camp oven about nine months ago, with the result that his face was terribly burned. As the skin healed, a hard sinewy substance formed, and drew the upper eye-lid away from the eye just as if it were crumpled. Pain and discomfort followed, and the eye-lid was useless to protect the eye from dust or the sun's rays, while when he was asleep the hard creation drew the lid inside out, and it was returned only with difficulty. Dγ Wilkins was consulted, and undertook to restore tho lid to its original form, which he did under chlorform some six week ago in a very remarkable manner. The doctor carefully dissected off the hard and contracted sinewy substance from the lid before mentioned, leaving a gap wound to fill up one inch and a quarter square. He then removed a piece of skin a little over an inch and a half square from the back of the child's arm (surgeons acquainted with this sort of surgery knows that transplanted skin shrinks to about one fifth of its original size), and transplanted it to the gap to form the upper new lid, retaining it in position by 1G horae-hair stitches. The transplanted piece of-skin took kindly to its naw quarters to restore the normal position of the lid. The shrinkage enabled it to just fit in. The result of the operation, as anyone can see, is all that could have been desired. The child can open and close tho new lid equally mh well as he can his sound and natural one. The mother is naturally delighted at the result of the operation, and desired that we should make it known for the benefit of othere similarly afflicted. —Star.
