THE WELLINGTON SEAT.

■ ♦ — Wellington, November 2. A largely signed requisition waß presented to Mr Duthie to-day, pressing him to re consider his decision not to seek re-election for Wellington city. In reply, Mr Duthie aaid that lo come forward again would mean a sacrifice, and he would like to have been excused on account of business and family affairs. However, if nobody could be found within the next few days who would come forward, and business affairs would permit it, he would endeavor to contest the seat. He could not give a definite answer at once, and he was not in a position at the present time to take 10 the plitform. If, as he was assured, Mr Bell was also to be a candidate, and contingent on no one else being found, he would within the next few days give a definite answer.

Hollo way's Ointment and Pills. — These world-renowned remedies are confidently recommended to miners, navvies,' and all who have to work underground, or where noxious atmospheres exist. The minute particles of coal or metal which permeate the air in such places tend to block up the lungs and air tubes, giving rise to bronchitis, <*Bthma, and palpitation of the heart. In Holloway's remedies will be found a safe and easily used medicament for the pene- --^trating properties of the O ntment relieve the local congestions and the mildly laxative effeots of the Pills cause the liver to act freely, and the breath to become unem- barrassed. An eaily resort to these reme- dies many a serious illness may be averted, and soundness of health maintained. Public noticks. RONTGEN X RAYS. TRIAL IN ASHBURTON.
