Vessel Ashore at Port Chalmers^ — The Arogante, a French barque of 318 tons, with a cargo of 500 tons of coal, went ashore yesterday at Port Chalmers, but was ultimately floated off with but little damage. Shocking Accident.— -On the Albury railway yesterday evening, a carpenter named Shields, belonging to Timaru, was caught by the cowcatcher of the train due at Timaru at half-past seven, pitched six feet into the air, 'dashed against the en engine’s head lamp (which was thus smashed), and then thrown clear of the line. The driver saw Shields before the engine caught him, but too late to avoid the accident. The injured man was then standing between the rails with his head hanging down on his breast as if asleep. After the train was stopped Shields was picked up, and his wounds —a bad one on the temple which was bleeding profusely, and another which mutilated his left hand w ere bandaged up, and he was taken on to Timaru, and attended by a doctor who had no hope of his living over the night. Shields has a wife and four children in Timaru.

Roots, Herbs, Barks, &c. of every kind. 370 CAMBRIDGE’S ORANGE-QUININE TONIC WINE IS acknowledged to be the most agreeable and efficacious Tonic Stomachic yet pro duced. It contains the valuable Tonic proper ties of Peruvian Bark (“Quinine”) with the Stomachic properties of the Bitter Seville Orange, so combined as not to be objec tionable to the most delicate invalid ; and, as a “BITTERS,” is far superior to all other preparations. Invaluable to all suffering from loss of appetite, indigestion, general debility, ner vous affections, tic, ague, and derange ment of the system. When the stomach has become enfeebled or disarranged by disease, excess, or irregularities, or the appetite is impaired by mental or bodily exertion, or from any cause whatever, it gives a regularity and tone which is not obtained by any other medicine. One, two, or three wine-glass fuls may be teken during the day by persons suffering from the above com plaints, with the greatest benefit. It is highly recommended by the medical pro fession to be taken whenever Cod Liver Oil is ordered. By pouring the required dose of the oil into half a wine-glass of the “Orange Quinine Wine” scarcely a flavour of the oil is tasted, and the wine materially assists the oil in its beneficial operations. Price, 4s. 6d. per wine bottle, and sent (carriage free) in cases containing one dozen, at 48s. Sold retail by all Chemists, and manufactured by J. M.
