Business N otices. TTTAR WITH RUSSIA.—At the pret it would be difficule lor say one except a prophet of th* ' frfgWt rank to say whether or not the present negotiations between England and Russia will lead to a general European war, or whether they will end in smoke. The absence of fall information as to what Is transpiring between the two countries may indicate that the political} breeze is I blowing harmlessly past; or, it may be Ihe 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. Row 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 materails necessary to a well equipped tailoring establishment, which ww are prepared to offer at unusually low prices for cash. Regarding style and fit, it is almost needless for us to repeat what everbody knows, viz, that by our scien tific mode of catting, and the care exer cised by ns in fitting, the figure, a mis-fit /is an impossibility. 1 — Obaighbad asd Co. , Merchant Tailors, Tsnored street s t>C OF PARTNERSHIP.

Windermere, 6th June, 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 Ashburton. 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 be may bring forward in the interests of the Colony. I would support such measures of the Customs Tariff as would conduce to 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object to the imposition of heavy duties to stimulate enterprises which would collapse whenever that support might be withdrawn. I 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 Australiau with New Zealand interests I am, Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, EDWARD G. WRIGHT. To Donald Williamson, Esq., and the other gentlemen signing the reisition. Freetradeßakery NEAR BRIDGE.

TESTIMONIALS : From Ret.

In one case when every remedy tried was powerless to give relief (the cough was so distressing) the first dose of your Elixir proved moat effective. In another case (sore throat) a cure was soon brought about that the patient resolved in the future to take no thing else. Other cases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. From C. F.
