CHARGE OF MURDER.

A Relic of Maori Barbarism.

Press Association— By Electric Telegraph Gisborne, February 25.

A charge of murder is being heard against | a native named Paneri Tawera, alleged to be a tohunga or wich dootor, m whose hands the patient died, the treatment by accused having, it is sworn, been moßt extraordinary and painful. The case m which Paneri Tarawera is charged with the murder of a Natjve named Kapu Wiremu m September last, was before the Magistrate's Court all afternoon. Hene Parekau, widow of the deceased, gave evi dence that she took him to accused, who said he had been bewitched by trespassing on tapued ground. He called twelve men together, who were kept awake all night for three nighls Paneri and an assistant named Te Whitu, continued night and day to poke their fingers into the man's stomach, where the pain was greatest, and he called out loudly, as if m pain. This treatment continued for a week, when Kapu died, Paneri and his followers also went to the place alleged to have been desecrated by I Ktpu, and gatherer! some grass, which they j instructed witness to place under the sick | man without his knowing ib. She paid accused seven shillings whan first consulting him, and afterwards he demanded £4 10s, on receiving which he said her husband would be perfectly well m three days. Be» lieved har husband died from internal pain, external violence, and keeping food from hrn. The case was adjourned till to-morrow i morning. j

THE PRICE OF WHEAT.

TO THE EDITOB.

Sir, — Allow me through your columns to call the attention of farmers to the faot that New Zealand wheat is now over 53 a bushel m London. Iv three months it will be over 6s. Sailing vessels can be laid on at 25s per ton ; three shillings per bushel advance can be obtained. The outside cost need not exceed Is per bushel. This will give s=> certain, possibly and probably more. The millers can re-import it. That is their business. I would therefore advise farmers to ship their wheat Home. — I am. etc., t Wm. Hackee.

Since 1878 there have been nine epidemics of dysentery indifferent parts of the country m which Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysentery, when epidemic, is al- most as severe and dangerous as Asiatio cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of the most skilled phyeicianra have failed to check its ravages This remedy, however, has cured the most malignant cases, both of children and adults, and under the most trying con- ditions, which proves it to be the best medicine m qhe world for bowel complaints.

Africa, July 11, 1896. ' "Shortly after leaving Johannesburg, where we had resided several years, I contracted a fever, which left me m a very weak state. I was a long time without any improvement, and none of the various remedies 1 tried, under the doctor's direction, did me any good. My husband finally persuaded me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which cured several acquaintances of ours who had suffered from impoverished blood and general debility. I therefore began to take the Sarsaparilla, and its good influence was soon apparent. Within less than a month I was as well as ever, and could eat and sleep like a child. Gratefully yours, k ■&? Lily Forbes." f Mr. Henry Forbes writes m confirmation of his wife's testimony, and ' adds that he had suffered from dyspepsia and loss of appetite, and that he was cured by - r Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Beware of worthless substitutes. See that the name— Ayer's Sarsapa* rilla— is on the wrapper, and blown m the glass of each bottle. , Prepared by Dr. J. O. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass., U. S. A. -~
