Instead of being oonte»i with the fourth standard, he believed people would Insist that secondary and university education should be thrown open to all. Mr Seddon pointed out that the Hokitika High School vote had been omitted this year. The Premier said no inclination had been shown to make a start with the aohool.

ERUPTION OF TARAWERA

Auckland, July 13. There was a severe earthquake at Tara wera last night. The Europeans made a stampede for Pukeore Hill. An examination made by the Professors of the Island of Mokoia in the centre of lake Rotorua shows that the water has risen sin on the south side, and fallen Sin on the north. This shows the eruption has caused the country to tilt, and it is believed that Ohinemmu stands 3ft lower than before the eruption. Papers were read before the Auckland Institute by Mr Percy Smith, the Assistant and Mr J. Pond, en titled, “ Observations on the Tarawera Eruptions ” They challenge Dr Hector’s theory of local eruptions, assert the fertility of the volcanic mud deposit, and express a belief that as the waters fill up lake Botomahana and cover the present steam outlet, there will be a further out break of hydro—thermal action ; that the probable outcome will be a gradual increea of the hot springs in surrounding district, and their concentration at Tarawera.

St. Mary-Street, Peterborough, November 29th, 1881. Sir, —It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the benefit 1 have received from Seigel’s Syrup. I have been troubled for years with dyspepsia ; but after a few doses of the Syrup, I found relief, i nd after taking two bottles of it I feel quite cured. I am, Sir, yours truly Mr A. J. White. William Brent. September Bth, 1883. Dear Sir, —I find the sale of Seigcl’s Svrup steadily increasing. All who have tried it speak very highly of its medicinal virtues ; one customer describes it as a “ Godsend to dyspeptic people.” I always recommend it with confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vincent A. Wills. Chemist-dentist, Merthyr Tydvil. To Mr A. J. White. Seigel’s Operating Pills are the best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating sub stances, and leave them in a healthy condition. They cure costiveness. Spanish Town, Jamaica, West Indies October 24, 1883.



Dear Bir, —I write to inform you that have derived great benefit from “ Beigel’ Syrup.” For some years I have suffered from liver complaint, with its mauy and varied concomitant evils, so that my life was a perpetual misery. Twelve months ago I was induced to try SeigeVs Syrup, and although rather sceptical, having tried so many reputed infallible remedies, I determined to give it at least a fair trial. In two or three days I felt considerably better, and now at the end of twelve months (having continued taking it) I am glad to say that I am a different being altogether. It is said of certain pens that they “ come as a boon and I blessing to men ” and 1 have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of the statement, a can truly say, however, that Scigel’s Byrn has come as a “ boon and blessing ” to me I have recommended it to several fellow sufferers from this distressing complaint, and their testimony is quite in accordance with my own. Gratitude for the benefit I have derived from this excellent preparation, prompts me to furnish you with this un solicited testimonial. I am, dear Sir, Yours ever gratefully, (Signed) Carey B. Berry, A. J. White, Esq. Baptist Missionary. Preston,Jßeptember 21st, 1883 My Dear Sir, —Your Syrup and Fills are still very popular with my customers, many saying they are the best family medicines possible. The other day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said •' Mother Beigel ” had saved the life of his wife, and he added, “ one of these bottles 1 am sending fifteen miles away to a friend who is very ill. I have much faith in it.” The sale keeps up wonderfully, in fact, one would fancy almost that the people were beginning to breakfast, dine, and sup on Mother Beigel’s Syrup, the demand is so constant and the satisfaction so great. I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) W. Bowker.
