Business .x- otlces. WAB WITH RUSSIA.—At the pret sent juncture it would be difficule for any one except a prophet of th highest 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 full information as to what is 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. Now is the time, therefore, to lay in a stock of olothiog, before the g jneral ad vance 'begins. In order 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 we are prepared to offer at unusually low prices for cash. Regarding style and fit, It is slmost needless for ns to repeat what everbody knows, viz, that by our scien tific mode of catling, and the care exer cised by us in fitting the figure, a nra-fit is an impossibility.— Craighead am) Co., Merchant Tailors, Tanored street

Windermere, 6tb June, 1885. Gentlemen, —Yonr requisition, inviting mo 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. 1 therefore have the honor to accept your invitation, and will take an early opportunity of addressing the electors. Saving 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 to the establishment of any industry which gave promise of flourishing m the laud ; 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object to the imposition of heavy duties to stimulate enterprises which would collapse whenever that support might be withdrawn.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 1 regard as a work of Colonial importance, which the vi over ament should take in hand immediately, should it not be taken up by a London Syndicate. Upon the question of Federation, 1 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 Sonth beas, and other matters iu which there could be no clashing of Australian with New Zealand interests I am, Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, EDWARD G.

I am happy to sayjyour Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and children almost im mediate relief in coughs and colds, and ! many to whom I have had the pleasure of recommending your specific have spoken of it as invaluable.

Other cases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir la a remedy of no mean order. From C. F.
