suits. Certain it is that the system of infant teaching is altogether outside that of the ordinary schools, and is not to be estimated or gauged by the ordi nary coarse masculine mind. It needs the delicate perceptions, the affectionate instincts, of the feminine character, to judiciotisly control, strengthen, and estimate infantile intellect, lam of opinion that Mrs Frances is exception ally endowed by nature with capacity for this undoubtediy great work. That I am not singular in my opinion was demonstrated years back by the warm interest taken in the school, and tlie eulogiums passed upon the mistress by the late lamented, genial, kindhearted, progressive Sir John Richardson. I commend the school to the attention of the ladies of Wellington ; it is always open for inspection.

He had to be taken to the hospital. On. in Heavy Seas. —The New Zealand Times (Wellington) of Tuesday contains the following interesting paragraph rela tive to the use of oil in heavy sens “The Lucy and James, from Pelorous Sound, arrived in harbor early yesterday morning for shelter, and experienced some very rough weather in the Strait. When within fifteen miles of the Heads, the j seas were rolling along like mountains, and considerable fear was entertained by those; on board. The master, however, was equal to the occasion, and having a supply of colza oil on board, determined to try the experiment, ordering some of the fluid to be thrown overboard. As each large sea was seen approaching the little craft, oil was thrown on the troubled waters. The effect, Captain Holst re ports, was almost magical. Instead of the ! seas breaking they merely rolled under ■ neath the little craft, which rode out the dangerous sea like a duck on the pond. Holloway’s Ointment and Pills. : Though it is impossible, in this climate of Ranging temperature, to prevent ill-health altogether, 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 rubbed upon these parts without delay, and his Pills taken in appropriate doses, to promote its curative ' action. No catarrhs or sore throats can resist ' these remedies.
