and loving of men, yet now he was cross jvnd surly to his family. Then something new developed. There came a pain under his left shoulder blade ; his wrists and knees grew swollen and painful; this was Rheumatism, caused, the doctors said, by the undigested and fermented food having poisoned the blood. Kidney and bladder complaint followed -for they also are merely symptoms of indigestion ntud dyspepsia. The policeman now felt that he must give'up, and, if he did, then what He could foresee nothing Hit destitution, Now we come to the event which sug gested the question with which this short; history begins : Was it an accident or was it a link in a saving chain 1 Entcr , ing the.Holyhead station house one, day, ill, depressed, weak, and miserable, he i saw a little pamphlet under the table. He.-pipked it up and began to read ifc. In a few mbmentJL his mind was rivetted upon its pages. In clear, plain language he found his own case fully described, just as fchdugh the book had been written for him arid for him alone. It named a care for all his ailments, a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. The plain honesty of the statements won his confidence. He procured half-a-dozeri bottleß through Mr Henry Wilson, of the Drug Hall, Holyhead. Taking it he began to (improve, and all his aches and pauis vanished in a few weeks. This •was August, 1879. Ten years have passed, but not a sign or symptori of his ailment has returned. Mr Jones entered upon a more lucrative business, and wher ever he goes. he spreads the fame of Seigel's Syrup, and insists that the glimpse of $he book on the table settled the point as to whether he should go under the sod or be the strong new man he has been ever since.

Waterton Wesleyan Church.

The celebration of the anniversary of the above church was held in the Water ton Library Hall on Tuesday nighb, November 11th, 1890. On Sunday the Her. J, A. Luxford, of Leestoh, officiated at the church, and delivered two powerful, earnest, and appropriate addresses ; the musical part of the services being led by the Willowby Choir, who had mustered in strong force to kindly Assist the Waterton congregation in their anniversary services, Oh Tuesday the usual tea was held in the Public Library; and despite the boisterous nature of the weather—the wind at times blowing with almost hurricane force*—was ah immense success, The tables were provided as follows :—No. 1, Mrs Watson; 2, Mrs Moses ; 3, Mrs Protheroe ; 4, Mes dames Shutt and Bond, and were presided over by Mrs Walson, assisted by Miss Williams ; Mrs Moses, assisted by Miss A. Donaldson; Mrs Protheroe, assisted by Mrs Cullen, Misses Ash ton and Houston ; Mrs Shutt, assisted by Miss McConnel, After the appetites, created by the long drives and the howling nor'-wester, had been satisfied by a vigorous disousaion of the good things provided, nn adjourn ment was made to the church, where the usual after meeting was held. The meet ing was presided over by the Rev, J. N. Buttle, who gave a verbal report of the work done by the church during the past year, stating that the receipts and ex penditure pretty nearly balanced each other, the weight being in favor of the credit size of the ledger. The debt on the church was shown to be £6, which, vith fcho £12 the result of the present Soiree, would be that night obliterated, find the balance of £6 carried forward to the credit of next year's account;. The Willowby Choir was again present, and dispensed the musical part of the pro gramme in a manner highly satisfactory to the audience, while it was a credit to themselves individually and to their energetic}, leader, Mr Wheeler, senr., in particular. The meeting was also ad dressed by the Rev. J. IT. Gray, who made a vigorous attack on the pulpit, advocating its removal from all churches, and an occasional alteration in the order of the services on Sunday evenings. Earnest addresses were also given by Messrs Low and Chapman, after which a yote of thanks to the ladies, speakers, choir, and all concerned in making the p,*iniyorßary a success was moved by Mr Osborne, senr., and carried by acclama tion, The singing of the Poxology and the '■"-pronouncing of the Benediction brought a very enjoyable festival to a closei

The Ashburton Rifles.

From Wellington exchanges to hand we observe that the total winnings of the Ashburton team at the military tourna ment amount to £16 10s, made up as follows:—First prize, sword-bayonet (review) exercise, £12; third prize, manual exerciVj, £1 ; third do., phy.sicn]: drill, with ami", £2; second au:l th:rd> do., tent competition, £.110.s. Referring to the various competitions, the " Wel lington Po.st" says . —Amongst the com petitors were some of the mon belonging to H.M.S. Curagoa, a 'detachment of the Rangitikci Cavalry, who came.down- by train with their horses on Saturday, and a team of the Ashburton. Rifles, and it is' pleasing to be able to state that all were successful in carrying off prizes. The man[ of-war sent out a fine lot of men, find it was> generally expected that they would carry all before them, but as it turned out they were not able to beat the local corps in everything. The Ashburton Rifles, who had been Very successful at sword bayonet contests in the South, were looked upon . as likely winners of the competition yes terday, *and the splendid way i i which they went through the drill fully justiiieu the judges in awarding them the first prize, The corps, it may be explained, now retains the Timvru Caledonian Society's challenge cup for proficiency in the exercise, having won ifc twice in succes sion. Keen interest was taken in the sword - bayonet exercise event, on accpunt of the fact thac the Ashburton Rifles and H. M. S. Ouragoa had each a team competing. The team of fchc Ash bur ton Kilie,s h;id only arrived the previous night, after an exceedingly rough passage, but despite this fact, they performed the drill re markably well, their movements being like clockwork."

MANY years since we had the pleasure to introduce to the public the BUFFALO MEAT DOGS BISCUITS, now so extensively used in the principal kennels of the world. Sinoe that time we have made many im portance improvements in their manufacture —improvements not of the nature of veget able compounds which may be added to any food of a trifling cost, but of the nature to produce good hard flesh and muscle, ingre dients which no other Biscuit or Dog F^od possesses, ami for which we J Hye received numerous medals ami h^gh recommendations, amongst which we may mention that of Pro fessor D.x &urn, who after many careful analysis and experiments pronounced these biscuits to be of the greatest excellence, and to contain double the quantity of nourish ment that is to be fojiind ii\ the fle^li, tlins farming the be£t and 'm,o,st Bucccjs3f.ul food for dogs that is possible to produce. , It is important to nptiee that every biscuit is stamped—-"Buffalo Meat, Trade Mark," the quality of which we guarantee.

The story is told that when Colonel Higg [ inson was running for Congress a few yearg ago/ a friend, working for him at the poll, came across a coloured man about to cast his ballot for the Opposite candidate. He re monstrated with him, saying, " I think your sense of honour and gratitude would lead you to voto for tli3 man who has dohe so much for your race." The coloured man looked at the matter in a more practical light, and replied : " I should tink, sah, dat my sense ob honour and ob gratitude would lead me to vote for de gemman that gib me WJ dollars and a half."
