In the House of Commons the Premier, while declining to announce before February next the ship-building programme of the Admiralty, declared that the Government would maintain distinct naval supremacy. Severe gales have been experienced alone; the British coast, and many vessels have been driven ashore. There has been much loss of life and property, and in inland towns falling chimneys caused sad destruction. The Tasmanian Premier, in an ad dress to his constituents, stated that the proposals which" the Ministry will submii; to the *new Parliament are much the same as those already pub lished. The prisoners placed in gaol in Bris bane during the shearers' strike have been released, having completed their sentences. On leaving the gaol walls they met with a most enthusiastic re ctption from the trade societies.

ALFORD STATION. The following is the Meteorological report for the week ending .November 19 1893:—

THE GENERAL ELECTION.

MR PUBJSBLL AT DROMORE.

Mr Purnell addressed a large meeting of the Ashburton electors at the school house, Dromore, on Saturday evening last. Mr Thomas Wilson, who occupied the chair, when introducing the candi date, pointed out that Mr Purnell was the only local resident amongst the several candidates for the Ashburton seat; that, if elected, he would be easy of access to persons who wished to see him upou public business, and in this respect possessed a considerable advantage over the other candidates. Mr Purnell ad dressed the meeting for about an hour and a quarter upon the various political topicH of the day, and resumed his seat amid long continued applause. Upon the motion of Mr Anderaon, seconded by Mr (rough, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Mr Purnell for his address, and the proceedings terminated with the usual compliment to the chairman.

CRICKET.

The first match of the season for the Association Cup to be given by the South Canterbury Cricket Association was played on the Domain at Ashburton on Saturday last between the Ashburton and Temuka Clubs. The Ashburton club went first to the wickets, being put in by Temuka who won the toss, and knocked up 141 runs for 8 wickets when the innings wm de clared closed. Temuka then took pos session of the willow but only succeeded in putting together 44 runs for 9 wickers when time was called, and so ander the rules, made a draw pf the match. This is the first time an innings has been de T cjared closed on our Domain and although good reasons can be advanced why matches with outside clubs cannot always be played our there is something unsatis factory in making a draw of a game in which one side has made more than three times as many runs as the other for the same or a less number of wickets. The batting and bowline scores in these matches will also count in the averages for the Ashburton Club's trophies. Denshire 57 not out, Fooks 25 and Jackson 17, including a leg hit for 6, made top scores for Ashburton, and both Russell and Todd bowled well, the former taking six wickets. For Ternnik* the only double figure reached wasll2 by Ferguson, Hayhurst being most effective with the ball. Appended are the scores; — AsEBUKTON—First Innings.

SWIMMING.

Swimmers have a treat in store for them at the Domain bath on Wednesday in the performances of Mr Ernio Cavill, the champion swimmer of Australia. This young athlete does some of the most wondeiful things imaginable m the water —so wonderful that one would think he so controls the ordinary functions of hia body that it would be impossible to drown him. He is in fact the most extraordi nary swimmer ever seen in these pirts, and his performances are a lesson in themselves on the art of swimming, as well as an exhibition of the gracefulnass of the art. Ah Mr Cavill cannot get a close day the exhibition will be open and a collection will be taken in his behalf. 411 interested in swimming, ladies mor3 especially, should attend. Ihe pro gramme is a full one, and includes items by local swimmers, as well as Mr Oavill's contributions to it, and great fun can also be promised.

In order that these crude oils may not be taken, Our Pure Volatile JEuca lypti Kxtract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878 we state :— It is proved by tests made by the Mcdicial Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswal i, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Olinic at Greifswald, that only produces that are saturated with oxygon and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant, SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT according to these authorities, and according to Pro fessor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of i merles, is the only extract correspondingto scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. Those so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received dist nctian at Exhibitions »s commercial articles and are used for mechanical pur poses only are discernible :— 1. By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extrac de velops most freely through its surplus of oxy nre ). 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density through the presence of acid*: S. By their taste, the result of the contracting ten ' dency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, ao called eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in omaeu of croup, bronchitis, diph theria, internal inflamwitions, dysentery, wovmdH, the theensequencesre njost appalling.
