EVERY true oolonist must have felt a glow of pride when reading m the Governor's Speeoh that the earn.Dg power of the people bad been increased, but the Speeoh omitted to give the reason wby there had been a saving last year of over £20,000 m the coßt of toa consumed m New Zealand. The reasons are obvious to evory housewife who ooneiders her tea expenditure — lst — It ia because Suratura Tea has oome into euoh general uae m oonsequence of its strength, flavour, economy, and purity. 2nd— That it goea so muoh further than ordinary brands. Theae oharaoteristio3 ore co generally eoknowledged that it iB remarkable that io the Governor's Speech there was no indica- tion of a Bill to authorise tha purohase bj tha State tf tho whole growth of Suratura Tet, with the oljeo:, of Eupplying the inhabi- tant of Now Zealand, and thereby decreasing the burden upon the necessaries of life.

Floods m the JNortH ■» A MAN DROWNED. GRE\T DAMAGE TO ROADS AND BRIDGES. Auckland, June 25 There is a serious flood m the Ohinemuri river. The Paeora township is inundated, and business is suspended. The water rose almost to the level of the large bridge, and wharves m the lower township are sub- merged. Considerable damage has been done along the river m the up-country dis- tricts, and nearly all the bridges have been swept away. Communication with Waihi by road is completely cut off. All the coaches have been prevented from reaching their destinations. A man named Charles Brown fell into the river and was carried away by the torrent and drowned* This body was found this morning below Adams 8r03.' store. The flood was the most serious that has occurred here for many years. The water m the riv<?r rose till the .ailway wharf and other wharves' were covered, and a large tract of country was flooded. The road to the Junction wus covered, and the Waitekauri bridge leading to Waihi was carried away and cannot be replaced for a week or two. The bridges leading to the Golden Cross mine and Graco D.irlin.z were swept away, besides the suspension bridge near Karanga- hako. A Email storage shed at the upper wharf, Paeroa, was carried bodily down the stream and dashed to piece?. Altogether considerable damage w.s done. '1 he river his now gone down. -Napibr, i\piil 25 The rain which set iv on Tuesday con- tinues unabated. All the rivers m the dis'rbt are m a high state of flood, and a considerable portion of ths low-lying lands i« under water. There is a very heavy sea m the bay, Keportsfrom the up-country districts show that much of the low-lyiag land is com- pletely submerged by the fl >od waters. The Ng«h*uroro River broke its banks near Kitio'__, and tlvre is three feet of water on the Omaha road. The tops of the fences are just visible m places. Roads are sub- merged everywhere and all the country to the west is a vast shining lake, dotted about with the tops of trcrs. The railway bridge there is surrounded by floating timber. The rivers continued to rise rapidly until noon, and a great extent of low-lying ground was several feet under water. Fortunately the rain then ceased for several hours, and though ifc started again m the evening it has cleared up again, and promises to continue fine. Great damage has been dove to roads and bridges throughout the provincial dis- trict. -Roael traffic m msny places is quite suspended, and the lite trains to-night could not get through, owing to water on the line at Ciive. No large losses of stock are, how- ever, reported ao far, aa the rivers rose slowly, and the settlers had time to remove their stock to higher ground. Part of the Waipawa railway bridge and the approach to the Ashurst railway bridge at the other side of the Gorge have been washed away. Traffic has been auspended owing to the lines being m a daDgerous con- dition through the floods. I

{Indigestion, Sleeplessness, Loss of Strength and Appetite, and Nervous Disorders, __.___^--'__'" : KM_-v The following letter from Mrs. S-Gash, of Kent Town, So. Australia, whoso portrait is given above, is additional testimony to the remarkable health-giving power of Ayer's Sarsapariila: "For two years or more I suffered considerably from indigestion, sleeplessness, and loss of strength and appetite. When I did sleep I was not refreshed, and I always bad a severe headache m the- morning. I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsapariila and was more than pleasea at tlie result, for after taking three bottles my complaints disappeared, and I have been m the best ©f health ever since. I can strongly recommend Ayer's Sarsapariila to any one afflicted as I was." The wonderful success of Ayer's Sarsapariila m purifying the blood and restoring health and strength to systems enfeebled by disease, or the enervat- ing effect of a warm climate, has led to the placing on the market of other preparations called Sarsapariila. Remember that imitation is the sincer- est form of flattery, and be sure that you get AVER'S SARSAPARILLA which has stood the test of time, has won the highest awards at the world's .a-reat expositions, and has been a blessing to the people of Australia, and all civilized countries, for more than a generation. No other medicine operates so effectually m removing general debility, languor, and all outward symp- toms of the grave mischief caused by disordered nerves and impure blood.
