A Good Account.— «To sura it up, six long years of bed-ridden sickness and suffering, costing £40 per year, total £640, all of which was stopped by three bottles of American Co's Hop Bitters taken by my wife, who has done her owa housework for a year since without the loss of a day, and I want every- I Wdy to know it for their benefit.

It was discovered that Mr' Bird had his right leg broken at the ancle by a 2 "ck from a horse which he was cL "igin a dray, and he had fallen on the road and was unable to go fu her. He wss brought on to Mr Tanner's residence where he was attended by Dr Moir, and is progress 1 lg favourably. J*tyi Saturday night what is belL ved to have been a water spout /broke over the ranges between Katikati/nd Paerpa. In a short time the streams /and rivers were in high flood. At Ka^fkati fhe hotel and roadway were under/ water, Considerable damage was done shjfep, fencing, and haystacks on the low-lying ground having been swept away. This morning- again the Uretara was in /lood and traffic stopped on the roads. f Tn extraordinary series of actual and attempted cY?d murders, the circumstances oi which point to the same agency in each case, has occurred in Sydney. On May 13th, the body of an infant six days old was found on the road to Tj Jinio with a tape tied tightly round its nock. At the inquest next day a verdict of "Wilful murder aguinst some persons unknown." While the inquest was proceeding another fn ile child was found dead with a tape tied tightly round its neck in stables in Harris street, Ultimo. This child was six days old, and the case presented exactly the same features as the first. Almost immediately afterwards a newlvbom infant was found at Alexandria with" a string- Hed round its neck. The child was still alive, but suffering from the effects of the at:empt at strangulation. No clue to the murderers has yet besn obtained. The Napier Evening News thus comments upon the advent of Sir John Hal), who is hailed by the Conservative Press as the coming political saviour of the country : "It wus during the administration of Sir John Hail that about the worst scandals that ever-oc-curred in the history- of ihis colony in connection with the Government took place, and from every point of view S ; - John Hall is the most dangerous public man that has ever had anything to do with its affairs. It was Sir John Hall who publicly declared that the psople were only: fit to be governed and not to govern, and his political nature] rests upon that extremely narrow sentiment. Ho is a Tory of Tories, and tho advent to power of such a man must be resisted skenuously by the whole strength of the Liberal party of tPs country." The co-operative dairy system, which prevails so extensively in Schleswig-Hol-steiu, has recently been copied in Denmark by the association of about SO of the peasant proprietors for the purpose of raising a loan to cover the expense of the construction of buildings and the purchase of material in order to inaugurate a huge co-opera-tive dairy. The pi-stnary expenses amount to £1 400, out of which, £SOO was devoted to land and buildings. Ine first six month's operations produced a p?'ofit of £440. The milk of 592 cows was involved iv the operations, and produced on the six months 21,199 kilos of butter, which found a ready market in London, at the same time furnishing a profit of 10 per cent upon the capital of the association. A correspondent of the Star says:— "lf you will allow me a little space I will try to ventilate a state of things that should not exist _ in the present condition of financial depression. While the white population are scarcely able to exist, the natives of Rotorua have indeed a good thing on. Some months ago they applied to the Government for employment on the Rotorua railway. It was at once acceded to, and sections of the line laid off and given to parties of about sixty each. One of the parties wishing to know how much each man's share was, came to a gentleman who is now in Auckland to figure it our for them. The result was about 11s 6d eaoh day the work had been in hand. Thia is giving work to unemployed with a vongeancs, while Aye have hundreds of respectable tradesmen and others who would jump at the opportunity cf earning one-third the money; but they have no Native Office or pakeha Maoris to forward their interests and they are not blustering natives with lots of land. Moeal Tubpitu.de. — Blame attaches to a jury of intelligent men when they condemn a man for crime whose moral nature has been perverted by indigestion, diseased liver and i kidneys. A thoughtful judge may well consider whether society would not be better served by ordering a bottle of American Co\s Hop Bitters for the unfortuuate in the dock instead of years of penal servitude.
