The Great Landslips in Queensland.

< Most extraordinary landslips in conse quence of the late rains and floods have occurred at Minden, one of the farming centres in the Rosewood scrub, which gave rise to a report that a severe earth quake had taken.place there. Cracks and fissures of many feet deep have opened in all directions, and large areas of land moved bodily. Houses were destroyed, and whole farms ruined. A Courier " correspondent visited the locality, and the following is his description of one case out of several: An elderly German farmer, named Gadischke, was on Monday last sitting inside his house with his family, the rain outside falling in torrents, while the wind blew with the force of a gale. Suddenly a report like that of a hundred ton gun startled the family, and threw them into consternation. This report •was followed hy a second, and then a dull rumbling noise like thunder ; but they knew the sound came from underground, and the house commenced to rock in all directions. ■ Gadischke ran to the door just in time to see his barn totter and fall to the ground. He was terrified. He saw the ground cracking in all places, and felt it moving. A third horrible report taking place, he , rushed inside again, determined at Sti&hazards to take hia family, who were all screaming with fear, to some place of safety. The house was still shaking and the rumbling continued. The family fled to the d 0.0% but seeing that great gaps were continually appearing in the moving ground, they were afraid to venture from the house lest they should step into one of the fissures and disappear. A galvanised iron tank full of water along side the house was thrown off the stand, and, rolling down the hill, crashed into the cowhouse. Simultaneously with an other deafening report, Gadischke saw his cowhouse become a wreck. The rumbling continued and the ground moved for two and a-half hours, not stopping till 4.30 in the afternoon, loud reports going off at intervals during the whole time. The rain continued to fall in blind ing sheets the whole time The poor old man removed his terrified family to some friends, then himself went back to sco what, he could save. His land in this part, extending over 12, acres, is entirely destroyed, :a£id within £lthis area ■were the whole of the unfortunate old Uow'3 buUdjngs, and these are bppe

lessly wrecked. Back of his farm another large area, extending over eight or 10 acres, has moved, and this was covered with a nice crop of com. In the fruit garden cracks and fissures can be seen 12ft to 20ft deep. The whole of the man's property is hopelessly destroyed. Other farms had suffered in a precisely similar manner, and at least 80 acres of land have bodily shifted in some places to a depth i, of 40ft. The farmers are completely ruined. The occurrence caused great ex citement in the district.

STARTLING EVENT IN A VILLAGE.

To the Editor of "Saturday Night," Birmingham. I recently came into pos session of certain facts of so remarkable a nature, that I am sure you will be glad to assist in making them public. The follow ing letters were shown to me, and lat once begged permission to copy them for the Press. They come from a highly re sponsible source, and may be received without question. MESSAGE from George James Gost ung, L.D.S., R.C.5.1., Ph. C.1., Licentiate in Pharmacy and Dental Surgeon. Stowmarket, July 18, 1889. To Mr White, The enclosed remarkable cure should, I think, be printed and circulated in Suffolk. j The statement was entirely voluntary, and is genuine in fact and detail.—G. J.G. "To the Proprietors of MotherSeigel's Syrup. "Gentlemen, —The following remark able cure was related to me by the husband. Mary Ann Spink, of Fin borough, Suffolk, was for over twenty years afflicted with rheumatism and neuralgia, and although comparatively a young woman at the time she was attacked (she is now fifty), she was compelled, in consequence, to walk with two sticks, and even then with difficulty and pain. About a year and a half ago she was advised to try Mother Seigel's Syrup, and after taking three bottles and two boxes of Seigel's Operating Pills, the use of Tier limbs was restored, and she is now able to walk three miles to Stowmarket with ease, frequently doing the distance in three quarters of an hour. Any sufferer who doubts this story can fully ascertain its truthfulness by paying a visit to the village and enquiring of the villagers, who will certify to the facts." " Appended is the husband's signature to the statement. " (R. Spink), " G. S. Gostling,' " Ipswich Street, Stowmarket." This is certainly a very pitiable case, and the happy cure wrought by this simple but powerful remedy, must move the sympathy of all hearts in a common pleasure. This poor woman had been a cripple for twenty of her best years ; years in which she should have had such comfort and enjoyment as life has to give. But, on the contrary, the was a miserable burden to herself and a source of care to her friends.. Now, at an age when the rest of us are growing feeble, she, in a manner, renews her youth and almost begins a new existence. What a blessing and what a wonder it is! No one who knows her, or who reads her story, but will be thankful that the good Lord has enabled men to discover a remedy capable of bringing about a cure that re minnds us—we speak it reverently—of the age of miracles. It should be explained that this most remarkable cure is due to the fact that rheumatism is a disease of the blood. Indigestion, constipation, and dyspepsia cause the poison from , the partially digested food to enter the circulation, and the blood deposits it in the joints and ■muscles. This- is rehumatism. Seigel's Syrup corrects the digestion, and so stops the further formation and deposit of the poison. It then removes from the system the poison already there. It is not a cure-all, It does its wonderful, work en tirely by its mysterious action upon the digestive organs, But when we remem ber that nine-tenths of our ailments arise in those organs, we can understand why Seigel's Syrup cures so many diseases that appear to be so different in their nature.

Holioways' Pills.—Nervousness and Want of Energy.—When first the nerves feel unstrung, and listlessness supplants energy, it is the right time to take some such alterative as Holloway's Pills to prevent disorder running into disease. These ex cellent Pills correct all irregularities and weaknesses. They act so kindly and yet so energetically on the functions of diges tion and assimilation that the whole body is revived, the blood is rendered richer and purer, the muscles become firmer and stronger, and the nervous and absorbent systems are invigorated. These Pills are suitable for all classes and all ages. They have a most marvellous effect on persons who are out of condition; they soon rectify whatever is in fault, restore strength to the body and confidence to the mind.
