Business notices. WAR WITH RUSSIA.—At the pret •eat -juncture it would be diffioule for any one except a prophet of th rank to aay whether or not the present negotiations between England and will lead to a general European WBV* or whether they will end in smoke. The absence of full information as to what Ss transpiring between the two countries may indicate that the political breeze is blowing harmlessly past; or, it may be the awful silence which generally precedes a'storm. In either case, we ought to be prepared for the worst. If a general war breaks out the price of nearly every article of commerce will rise. Among other commodities, wool and labor will go _ up. How is the time, therefore, to lay in a stock of clothing, before the g moral ad vance begins. In ord«r that we may not be caught napping we have just purchased a Splendid Assortment of Winter Tweeds and other mateiails necessary to a well ■ equipped tailoring establishment, which ws are prepared to offer at unusually low prices for cash. Regarding style and fit, ft is almost needless for ua to repeat what everbody knows; viz, that by our scien tific mode of cntting, and the care exer cised by us in fitting the figure, a mis-fit is an impossibility.— Ckaighkad a»d Co., Merchant Tailors, Taocred street. j IBSOLXJTION OF PARTNERSHIP.

Windermere, 6tb Jane, 1886. Gentlemen, —Your requisition, inviting me to stand for Wakanui, adds one more to the many tokens of goodwill which I have received from my fellow settlers in the County of Ashbutton. Although I would much prefer at the present time to take no further burdens upon my shoulders, I feel that a requisition such as that which you have pre sented to me is almost of the nature of a command to discharge a public duty. I therefore have the honor to accept your invitation, and will take an early opportunity of addressing the electors. Having been amongst the first to invite Sir Julius Vogel to stand for Ashburton I shall, if returned, be prepared to support whatever measures he may bring forward in the interests of the Colony. I would support such measures of the Customs Tariff as wou ; d conduce t the establishment of any industry which gave promise of flourishing in the land ; but I would object to the imposition of heavy duties to stimulate enterprises which would collapse whenever that support might be withdrawn. 1 should vote for the purchase of the District Railways, at an equitable price, as between the shareholders of the railways and the ratepayers of the colony, and would advocate the repeal of the Act as a measure which should never have been placed upon the Statute Book. The Railway between Canterbury and the West Coast I regard as a work of Colonial importance, which the Government should take in hand immediately, should it not be taken up by a London Syndicate. Upon the question of Federation, I am of opinoin that New Zealand should, as far as possible, retain independence of action, and that the questions to be deter mined by a Federal Council should be limited to defence against a common enemy, the exclusion of European criminals from the Islands of the South Seas, and other matters in which there could be no clashing of Australia*, with New Zealand interests I am, Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, EDWARD G. WRIGHT. To Donald Williamson, Esq., and the other gentlemen signing the reiaition.

After seven years’ experience 1 hare great pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of your “ Lung Preserver,” having proved it in my family to be a specific for coughs,- 1 colds, eta, a few doses invariably subdu ing the nasty harassing cough, while re lieving the throat and chest, it does not, like other nostrums, disorder the digestive organs by inducing nausea, constipation, headaches, loss of appetite, eta I can heartily recommend it as the best, cheapest and most palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, eta iso highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand. FromW. B. Scon, Esq., Builder, eta, Peterborough reet, Christchurch, December 4,1883. Some years ago I was recommended to try a bottle of your “ Pulmonic Elixir and Lung Preserver," for tightness in the chest. I did so, and from that time 1 have never been without it in the house. 1 have found it to answer in every respect for coughs, colds, and sore throat, and would strongly advise those that are suf fering from such complaints to try it.
