A -Sensible Man. —A gentleman as sured his Efe in the office of the Mutual Assurance Society of Victoria, cn the sth instant, for L6OO, and took a receipt; ahd on the 12th instant he was accidentally hilled before the office had eve n been al lowed time to issue the policy. The ■ amount, which makes a prbvisi on for his family, will be paid forthwith. The case clearly shows the prudence of life assur ance. This society has presented all its officers with a bonus of 10 pe ‘ cent, on f their salaries.— Age. ; ; Letting the Cat our op tie Bag.— This is how the New Zealand Licensed Victuallers’ Gazette reveals trade secrets : —“ The agent of a large brewery firm, . not long ago, finding himself with a large quantity of beer that had gorie. pffi and himself on the verge of an ‘anrahgemefit with his creditors ’ in consequence, sent for ah analytical chemist/ exjtlaning .the 'case ahd asked him what was tq be done. The chemist considered the ni after, and recommended a process of i treatment which would restore the tone o| the beer, although still leaving it with {a peculiar taste. The beer was accordingly treated as advised, advertised as a peculiar tonic ale, and sold in enormous jquantities. The beer is now one-of the moat popular ; it is drunk by invalids, praised by the faculty, and believed in by the (public, al though before it was chemically treated it was not worth twopence a, hogshead, and the brewer merely called in a chemist as an alternative to a fiat in bankruptcy.”

Holloway’s Ointment and Pills. — Though it is impossible, in this) climate o changing temperature, to prevent ill-health idtogether, yet its form and frequency may be much mitigated by the early adoption of remedial measures. When hoarseness, cough, thick breathing, and the attending Slight fever indicate irritation of the' throat |and chest, Holloway’S Ointment should be nibbed upon these parts without delay, 'and his i Pills taken in appropriate doses, to promote |its curf tiye action. No catarrhs or sore throats can resist these remedies. Printed directions envelope every package of Holloways _ miedicaments, which are suited to all ages and conditions andl to every ordinary disease to which humanit, is liable.—Advt.

rjlflE FUTURE OF NEW ZEALAND. As the future prosperity of these sunny isles depends in a great measure on the support which is given to colonial manu factures, A. Craighead & Co., MERCHANT TAILORS, Tanot gd street, Have determined to encourage the manufacture of Colonial Tweeds as much as the requirements of their business will permit. By following this course they will be enabled not only to foster the growth and development of the internal resources of New Zealand, but will also be enabled to offer to their friends, patrons, and the general public a very SUPERIOR A iinCXiß AT A MODERATE PRICE. To cany this idea to a practical issue they have just been favored with a large consignment of the CELEBRATED KAIAPOI TWEEDS, Manufactured to their special order for the coming season. As these Tweeds are equal, and in some respebfcs superior, to anything of the same class that can bo imported, they feel confident that, by strict attention to business, and by the exercise of their usual care in cutting and fitt'ng, they will continue to give that satisfaction which their rapidly increasing business warrants them in believing they have given in the past.
