DIRT AND DESTITUTION AT NELSON.

On Sunday, November 30th, the death of a woman who residod in a little outhouse at the back of tho promises in Colliug- W ood-street, Nelson, was reported to the police. Inquiries elicited the facts that tho deceased was tho wifo of Georgo Twosood.who, prior to his admission to the Lunatic Asylum in 1875, was in the employ of Mr Balme, coachbmlder, and that Mrs Twoeood was about 42 years of age.' With her were living her two children, a girl of about 13 and a boy of 10, and tho mother, we learn, made a living by going out wash ine The girl slates that her mother had been bad two days, but no assistance was called in, and on Saturday ni(zht tho poor woman fell back on the bed, when she placed some hot bricks to her mother s feet. Shortly after the girl says that being ex hausted sho fell off asleep, and she apparently did not discover that hor mother was dead till ncx day _ Sho then sot out for tho Hospital to obtain ad vice and assistance from Dr. Boor, and she ultimately saw Mr Sha crass, the Rol.ev l.i<r Officer and Mrs Shallcrnsa accompanied tho child to thoir wretched home, which consisted of two small rooms. Tho room in which tho corpse lay was about four fcot wide by eight long, and just high enough to stand upright in ; it contained a sort of stretcher, and tho bedclothes _ were of tho most miserable description. A small window of about two font square, which could bo partially opened by turning on a swivel was the only ventilation, and thl squalor and povorty disclosed wore such that Mrs Shallcrass declared that with out seeing it alio could not have believed there wns such a misorable place in Nelson. The Bccond room was a little larger, but cne could only squeeze through tho doors : inside cobwebs and dirt wove tho noticeable features. Attho coroner's inquest, the jury rcturnod a verdict to tho ofiect that death resulted from apoplexy, and whilst conversing on tho matter, said thoy thought that such buildings should not bo lot for peoplo to live in; tho foreman stating that it was not fit for a dog. No rider was, however, attached to tho verdict.

A young man named Hugh Mclvor, living at the Governor Browno Hotel, was near losing his life yesterday by bolting a large piece of hard boiled potato, which stuck so firmly low down in his gullet, that he could neither get it down nor back again. Feeling that he should of a cer tainty bo choked unless it could bo speodily removed. Ho, with a oouplo of frionda, rushed to Dr. Wilkins s chambers in Queen-street. By tho time ho got there Molver was so exhausted that ho became black in tho face and fell on tho floor. Dr. Wilkins first ascertained that tho foreign substance was not in the windpipe, and in troducing a long instrument into the gullet, the recalcitrant potato was soon dislodged from its dangerous position.

Tho working committee of the Auckland Rifle Association have been hard at work preparing for tho forthcoming meeting at Henderson, and have provided 8 targets and appliances which will accommodate 100 competitors, or more if necessary, and we have every reason to believe that there will bo nearly, if not quite that number. There will be a meeting of the Committee to-night to make final arrangements for marking, scoring, So.

On Tuesday ovening last tho soiree in connection with tho eighteenth anniversary of the Mount Albert Wealeyon Church was hold, A goodly number sat down to tea In the schoolroom, whoro an excellent repast was provided. The tables were presided over by Mesdamea Schnackenberg, Kemp, Gnrlick, Turk, Aatley, Randerson, O'phert, and Miss Schnackenberg. After tea, a public meet ing was held in tho church, tho Rev. A. Raid ably presiding. The annual report and balance-sheet were read by tho trea surer. Addresses were delivered by the Revs. VV. J. Watkin and T. G. Carr. Several anthems and Christmas pieces were well rondere*! by the choir and the children. _ A vote of thanks to the Chairman, the ladies, and choir, with singing tho Doxology, brought n vory enjoyable mooting to a closo.

STUART Has for years devoted especial attention to the disordors common to her sex, and in her Reme dies ladies have the greatest boon ever intro duced to publio notice. Many years' experience in the largest female practice in the metropolis, comprising every age, temperament, and com plaint, has afforded ample opportunity for the most thorough trial of the Medicines reputed to be of value, and the Remedies now Introduced to tho ladies of Auckland have won tho highest esteem and praises from innumerable mothers and daughters restored to strength, regularity, and all the blessings of sound health. MRS DRTSTUART'S LADIES' TONIC, 3s and Is 0d Per Boitle. This is essentially a Female Tonic. It con tains the elements requisite for the peculiar constitution of woman. Whatever of value there may bo In the legion of quacks and nos trums imposed upon a too-generous and con fiding public for the stronger sex, they have proved themselves to be utterly valueless for female use. For loss of appetite, colour and spirits, palpitation of tho heart, unfitness for exercise or work, this Tonic is tho surest, mildest, and most agreeable strength-giver ever brought before Bulferlng women. MRS DRTsTUART'S LADIES' CALENDAR PILLS, 2S 6d AND is 6d Pek BOX. - ' Tho value of these Pills for periodical use cannot well be over estimated. They are prompt and certain in thoir action. They pre vent suffering, discomfort, and anxiety, and are truly the Females' Friend. MRS DR~~STUART'S LADIES' APERIENT PILLS, is 6d Per Box. Those Pills are highly recommended for In digestion, Headaohe, Biliousness, Liver Com plaints (tho latter are frequently the cause of irregularity), Giddiness, -.'Constipat'on. and especially in conjunction with the Calendar Pills, with which It is suggested (tor reasons fully explained In circulars accompanying Medicines) they should be obtained. All who have used thoße Remedies testify to tho kindliness and regularity of tho monthly sickness. In many cases of paleness, debility, and loss of appetite of months duration, causing the gravest rears of consumption, the Judicious use of the Pills and Tonic has restored the bloom of health, strength, and enjoyment of food.
