For sal© by all chemists and storekeepers,

A smart shock of earthquake was felt at Wanganui at 8.2Q this morning. A north-west wind blew with hurricane force at an early hour this morning, but fortunately the gale did not last long. , Mr Bates's weather forecast as telegraphed .to-day is as follows: Southerly moderate to strong winds; rain is probable, and it will probably be very cold to-night; the glass will fall slowly, and it will be squally. Another low barometer is due about the 22nd. Mr John Argyle, Havelock street, Ashburton, announces that he has all kinds of steam and household coals on sale. In regard to the escaped prisoner who appeared at the Magistrate's Court to-day with several aliases, it is stated that his real name is George Keys, arid that he is not unknown m Dunedin. According to a Methven correspondent, last week was an exceptionally busy time at the Methven railway station, when an umisualjy large amount of 'grain was railed from the district. The Railway Department is running a special train almost every day to cope with the exceptionally heavy traffic m grain and fat stock. Farmers are complaining at the delay m getting manure, etc., carried on the line. Only a certain quantity-can be carried on the run up, and consequently sometimes goods have to lie at Rakaia for days before they can be taken to Methven. , ' A large gathering assembled m the Baptist Tabernacle on Wednesday evening to hear Miss E. M. Gainsford, who is visiting the Baptist churches of the dominion m the interest of the New Zealand Baptist Missionary Society. The missionary spoke of the good work that had been accomplished, and showed the great possibilities of the work which the New Zealand Baptist Church had undertaken m India. She assured her hearers that India's millions were anxious to hear the Gospel, and she rejoiced to know that the awful darkness which has prevailed for centuries is slowly but surely passing away. More workers were needed, and Miss Gainsford urged all present to do their utmost to sup*ply this great need.
