SPRINGBURN.

From Our Own Correspondent.

MACKENZIE'S CONCERT?, Last Friday evenirg Mr Mackeczie, of the Mackenzie-Glover company, g^ve one of his very popular entertainments m Staveley Hal!, Springburn. Owing to a very short notice, some two clear days, the ha I! was not aa well filled as might have been ; but had the music-loving public had such a lofty idea of Mackenzie's ability to entertain - either aa singer, actor or hutroriati--as he proved himself to have been, there is no doubto but few would have missed the opportunity to hear him. From his first appearance on tho concert platform until the fall of the curtain, he and his talented company were greeted with rounds of applause, such as have never been given to any performer m Staveley Hall. Mr Mac kenzie possesses the secret of at once getting on good terms with his audience, and then keeping them good humored and spell bound. Of the performers, they are too well known, and have been commented on m your uolumna before. Suffice it so say that each one ably carried out his or h< r part In turn, and did it so well that every item was redemanded. One novelty on the programme, however, needs to be specially mentioned, viz., the charming scene from 11 The Bonnie fishwife," introducing a triple Highland fling, and the singing of *• Oallei Herrin," m costume, by Miae Glover. At, the commencement of the entertainment Mr Mackenzie apologised for the absence of Mrs Oiaridge, who was unavoidably absent from th» piano owing to aa attack of ißfluenz*. Har plaoe was ably filled by Mm. Neil, of j Staveley, who at the last minute assisted j with the accompaniments, and very materi ally added to the success of the entertain ment. Mr Mackenzie at the oloee announced bis intention of returning next Friday •vening, and will aing a Dumber of songs ipeoialTy asked for at the last concert. Given a fine night the hall should be paaked, as it is seldom or never an entertainer of his ability visits Btaveley. He now holds the honor of being the first to visit the district | with a company. j

TEA-MEETING. A moat successful tea-meeting was held m the tchoolroom on Friday evening, the pro ceeds of which were devoted towards the Wesleyan Circuit Fund. Tables had been provided by ladies of the district, Mesdaraes Widdowson, Wallace, and Dent, and the Misses Johnston and Pearce. These were Assisted by Misses Maidens, Dent, and Wallace (2) ; and under such an efficient staff of attendants, the wants of all present could oot bub be Admirably catered for. Tea was kid at 6 p.m. ; and the gaiety and pro fusion of the scene compared very favourably with anything I have ever before witnessed at country tea-meetings, and once again served to bear out the tasks and ability of the ladies m the provision of good things. One fact worthy of notice was the commend able spirit shown by those of the diatricr, outside of the Wesleyans, m turning out as they did, regardless of sect; and to this fact was due m very large measure the success of the gathering. As soon as the appetites of all had been gratified, the tables were cleared, »nd removed m preparation for the concert which followed. Mr Clark, pastor of the circuit, presided over the meeting, supported by the Rev R. Taylor, from Ashburton. Mr Taylor gave a very pleasing address on " Human development," m which he laid down several lines to be followed before the satisfacoory growth of character could be arrived at. Musical items were well rendered by Misses Orr and Steel (from Ashburton), as also by Mrs Bands, Miss Clark, and Messrs Sharp, Johnston and Walker. Hearty votes of thanks, proposed by Mr Widdowson and seconded by Mr Wallace, were accorded to the ladies, the chairman, and to Mr Drummond, who had been good enough to lend his piano for the oacasion. After a most onjoyable evening, " Doxology " was sung, and on the benediction being pronounced, one and ail returned to their homes, universally pleased with the success 1 of the gathering. j

SANDEti Sc ssons Euoa- s lypti Extract. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI i EXTRACT, which is recognised by the 1 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 tate: — It proved by testa by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz,Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substaocoa, adherent to primary distillation, will develops the sanative qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Litter, of England, and.to j Drs. Bsuer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc,, of America, is the only extract correspond ing to scientific testß, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. i SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be classed mong the turpentines, which have, .when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency m pundgent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called euoalypt xtracts, are applied by mistake m cases of roup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appalling. For safety always ask for SANDER & SON'S EUCA LYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well tested, andreliablepreparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDER & SONS.
