I have no doubt with nursing it will yet be a good sole of grass, though it has been fully 12 months in the ground beforo germinating. The thing seems incredible, hut it is a solemn fact."

We lately paid a visit to the shop of Mesci-s T. and IT. Cooke at the foot of lirey-street, and nnar Q.ieen street, Auckland. Messrs Cookc are ono of the oldest firms in this line in that city. The skill, thoroughness and finish displayed by thnrn and their able staff in thair manufactured goods are the theme of general remark ; while the taste, beauty, value and variety of their stock are admitted generally. Those things and the admirable way in which the firm manage their business and the liberal manner in which they treat their customers entitle them the former to the great success and confidence they have so long enjoyed at the hands of the latter. Their suites of furniture and cabinet waro genorally are always the best of their class. In tho matter of price the latter compare favourably with goods manufactured by other firms. Persons furnishing should call and inspect Mossrs Cook's stock.

Its curative properties are borne testimony to by thousands of suflerers amongst whom are many learned respectable, and influential people in Canada, Nova Scotia, and British North America and elsewhere. Amongst these are several well known clergyman, who had no interest to serve but those of truth and suffering humanity. As the general agent will be here shortly and will appoint subagents we recommend our readers to either write f"r the medicine to the Auckland address or secure it through the sub-agents when ap[:oint?d.
