The headmaster of the Auckland College and Grammar School, Mr C. N. Bourne, has been offered the headmastership of Christ College Grammar school, Christ church. Mr W- Pattman, late of the Somerset Hotel, arrived by the Doric. He has bought a property at Home where he intends to settle down, and his visit to the colony is on business. He left Mrs Pattman at Home in good health. Sunday's thunderstorm was very severe in the Rangitata district. Our Eaiing cor respondent writes that on Mr Baxter's pro perty the gate at a water race was struck by the lightning and shivered into splinters and the ground ploughed up in two directions from the gate. The gone fences on the same property were set on fire in three plaoes by the lightning, which was the most vivid and the rain the heaviest that the residents in tho district had ever seen, i Fortunately, our correspondent adds, the , shade trees in the grounds of the new school | escaped injury. A few days ago a paragraph appeared in one of the Christchurch papers to the effect that a Mr Pick, formerly of Rangiora " had arranged to enter upon the Criterion Hotel, Ashborton." This announcement was un derstood by many in this district to refer to the Central Hotel, Ashburtcn, but we have authority for stating that not only has Mr A. J. Kelly aot parted with his interest in the hotel, which he has conducted success fully for the last four years but he has secured the renewal of the lease when his present lease expires. Under Mr and Mrs Kelly's letseeship the Central has been made a comfortable and respectable hotel, and their many friends will be glad to know that the report that they were going to leave it is without foundation. Will*' Surprise Party will give one entertainment in the Oddfellows Hall, the date being Thursday evening. It will be remembered that this excellent variety troupe gave a season in Ashburton about three months ago, and drew large and well-pleased audiences, one ot their special features being quartets of part songs that have been established favorites. The quartet party is made up of good voices, well trained, and as the songs are sung with cultivated taste, and a precision and accuracy born of long and steady practice ijhe effect is pleasing in the extreme. So far as the humorous part of the programme is concerned, we understand that it is still in the same hands, and has fallen off in nothing while new faces have been added to the troupe.

HOLLOWAT 8 MM ASJ>. UINTMKNT.—It mpowible entirely to prevent the noxious vapours which are given off in mines and tttftul*, and those who, like miners and railway operatives, have to work day after day in such vitiated atmosphere?, suffer in health and strength in consequence. The chest and liver often become clogged with , the product* of coal combustion, necessitat ing great attention to fche health. No remedy is more valuable for miners and the like than Holloway's Pills, as they carry off all effete matter from the blood, and healthily stimulate the liver. They are also invaluable for costive bowels and for all bilious dis orders. The ointment is a priceless remedy tor piles, sprains, ulcer*, and all manner of sores. The best medicine is Sander and Sons Eucalpyti Extract, Test its eminent power ful effect* in coughs, colds, influenza, etc. — the relief is instantaneous. Thousands give the most gratifying testimony. His Majesty the King of Italy and medical syndicates all over the world are its patrons. Read the official report* that accompany each bottle- We have no occasion to offer rewarda in proof of the genuineness of our references. The official reports of medical clinics and univer (uties.theofficialcommunications of the Consul General for Italy at Melbourne; the diploma •warded by the International Exhibition, Amsterdam—all these are authentic docu ments, and, as such, not open to doubt. We add here epitome of one of the various cases treated at the clinic of Schultz, M.D. Pro fewor, etc.—"C. 8., 24 years old; conges tional abscess on the thigh. Incisions made in two place*. Although Lister's dressing was applied, the secretion became, two days later, very copious, and had adopted a fcetid decomposed character. The temperature rose enormously. In consequence the dressing was'removed and in its place were made during the day-time repeated irrigations with j Eucalypti Extract. The offensive fceter dis appeared very soon, the fever abated within a few days, and the patient recovered after the lapse of several weeks. In this instance we must not lose sight of the fact that th« latter treatment saved the patient's life.— Advt.) _ ■?.-
