OAIBIR & Son* Kucalyiitt Extract There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming rude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not betaken, OUR VURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as their information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state:— Is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr Hosier, Director of the Medical Clinic at G-reifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adnerent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities, and according to Pro fessor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific test?, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. Sander & Son's Eucalypti All other crude oils are to ba classed atnoug the urpentines,which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so-called Eucalyptio Extract which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as j commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are o ly . iscemible. By their deficiency in un'lgent oudour—which our produci, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance being reduced in specific demity through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting ten dency of resin sand ten ates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extract", are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bron hiti, diph theria, internal inflamatans, dysentery, wounds, the conseq ences are appaling. Fcr safety always ask for SANDBR & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTBACT, and get theold, well tested, and reliable preparation. —Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia.

PARLIAMENT has decreed that New Zealand shall excel any Australian colony in the numerical strength of her mili tary contingent, and it is a foregone conclu sion that Her Majesty will be advised by the Secretary of State, the Hon. Joseph Chamber lain, to reciprocate the unexpected extent of our loyalty by some recognition worthy of a devoted people, who have sent such a mili tary force to demonstrate our warlike in stincts and ability to aid old England in the event of war. That recognition will be, without doubt, a title to the originator and tactician who has carried his proposals in the face of a hostile sec ion of Parliament, No doubt Her Majesty will deem a mere knighthood too meagre an honour for a ttatesman who has shown such Imperialistic exuberance. Queen Victoria will undoubtedly enow some dis crimination in awarding honours to Colonial Premiers, and we may look forward with confidence to the Liberal Leader of New Zealand returning with something more than a " Sir" to his name. The form of title itself may not be so very easy to place. There is one which from the analogy of strength and popularity will be generally accepted at Home and abroad as apropos. The Premier will go home as plain Mr. Seddon. What if he should return as LORD SURATURA? He is Strong. Bo is Tea He has promised Economy. So does Suratura Tea He is nob a blend of India or China, No more is Suratura Tea His name i 8 known throughout N.Z. So is that of Suratura Tea ! He has a reputation. L So has Suratura Tea , He goes farther than other Premiers. J So does Suratura than ordinary Teas ! JOHN Q&R & CQ. t Agent?



A strange occurrence (saya the Wellington Post) is reported by the officers of the barque Devon port as having happened while coming round the coaat. Off Cape Howe she was struck by what the|master, Captain Eeid, describes as a rock. The vessel shook from stem to stern, and the men rushed on deck. There was no wind and very little sea, but the bnmp was as though the ship had rushed on a reef. It shook the masts and when the lead was put over there were 28 fathoms under the vessel. The Oddfellows' Hall should, and doubt less will, present a particularly brilliant appearance this evening upon the re-appear ance of Carl Hertz with farewell performance. Ali along tha line the distinguished enter tainer has turned away crowds from the door* so great has been the ciuah to view hie remarkable performances. A complete new programme will be presented, including the performance of " Stroubaika," which has bo recently created such a perfect furore in all parts oi the world, while the cinematographic will present a series of views, all of which have recently arrived from America, including the Corbett prize fight Since the farewell season is limited to the one peiformance we may safely pre dict an overflowing audience. The following paragraph from theArbroath Gtdde, & Forfarshire paper, refers to a brother of the Rev. G. B. Inglia, Ashburton :-— Lietit. •Colonel Robert William Inglis, V.D., fifth, and now the eldest surviving, son of fche late Rev. Robert Inglis, Free Church, Edzell, has intimated his intention to present a library of 5000 volumes for the use of the parishes of Edzall, Lethnofr, and Lochlee, in commemoration of the sixtieth year of fche reign of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen victoria. The library will be placed in the handsome hall which Mr logfis has gifted to the pariah of Edzell, which is now in course of erection, and will be under the charge of the Parish Council of Edzell. It is Mr Inglis'a intention to make provision for the due maintenance of the library. The Timaru police have secured tw. young men—John Pindlay and William Boobie-r-from Dunedin, who have committed a geries of thefts of horses. They left Dunedin last month for Christchurch on foot At Pdlmerston they stole two horses and an outfit from a stable, and rode them to Waimate where they turned them adrift. They walked to Pareora and entered a house and took a watch and chain and food. They then went to Totara Valley, and stole two horses, saddles, and bridles, and rode to Geraldine, where they impounded one horse, and took 12a for "driving" fees. They left Geraldine with two fresh horses, t (draughts), which they sold next day to a farmer at Rangitata, and afterwards ran sacked his home. They returned to Geraldine and sold a third horse and saddlery. Findlay was captured in Timaru as he was preparing to leave by steamer. Scobie was caught near Winchester, where tried to sell some more stolsn saddlery.



tie The public are to be congratulated on the liberal manner in which they have re sponded to the invitation of our leading bookseller, stationer, and fancy goodsjvendor, to supply themselves with cheap stationery, good literature (for winter reading), and fancy goods. As this month is the record sale of the decade—the firm giving great in ducements so as to reduce the stock—we have no doubt that the premises of H. N. Anderson, late L. F. Andrewes and Co,, wilt be well patronised during the remainder of the sale.—(Advt.)
