The local Court was crowded on Thursday last to hear the assault case of Harris v. Lester. It did not occupy much time, only about an hour, as Mr Brodrick, for the defendant, did not call any evidence. People who live sedentary lives, people who sit in offices, people who get very little exercise. All these suffer more or less from stomach troubles. It would give such a great surprise what a few dozes of Noxol would do for them. Try it. 2s at chemists’ and stores. At the hearing of the assault case on Thursday, Mr Brodrick asked a witness, who is a well-known farmer, and about one of the earliest of the old pioneers on the goldfields, if he thought this was much of an assault; also, how they would have dealt with it in the early days ? The reply was prompt and to the point. “ They would have fixed it up next morning with a drop of whisky.” The weather has been very mild all last week, consequently the splendid rains wo have had will be much more beneficial than was expected, as the snow is away from the low county, a nice spring of grass is coming on, and if it keeps mild for a few more weeks the outlook for the stock for the winter will be fairly good. No more pain, no more bad liver troubles. A remedy has been found —Dr Crossland’js Noxol which is a certain cure for indigestion, constipation, liver and stomach troubles. Try it. 2s at all chemists’ and stores. A correspondent writes: “Work on the Otago Central Line is progressing favorably, and the pile driver is now at Muttontown Gully, and there is a clear run for the platelayers to the Manorburn viaduct, and two months should finish all the cuttings to the third bridge. The ballasting is proceeding on the heels of the platelaying, and it is generally expected the line will be completed to Clyde by New Year.” A very large number of Bannockburn residents were in Cromwell on Thursday in connection with an application for water that was down for hearing that day. It is a rather complicated matter, one applicant wanting to lift the water from the gully at the head of the sludge channel and return it again. An objection is lodged to the granting of this application. The hearing was adjourned till next court day, 7th Juno. Mr John D. Rockfeller, the millionaire, who is hiding from process servers at his Lakewood, New Jersey, estate, is under the care of a specialist (says the New York correspondent of the London Daily Express). Mr Rockfeller, jun., refuses to discuss the report that his father is suffering from mental derangement, but it is known that the millionaire is undergoing treatment for “ nervousness.” Mr Rockfeller’s habits have changed greatly within the past twelve months. He now wears a waistcoat made of newspapers. He insists on walking barefooted through the park before breakfast. A few weeks ago he sent bushel of potatoes stuffed with five-dollar gold pieces, to the pastor of a Cleveland church. The millionaire is said to have been greatly affected by the illness of a near relative, who is suffering from the delusion that he has suddenly been reduced to poverty, I hereby certify that if sufferers from constipation, indigestion liver and stomach complaints will take my prescription 89878, known as Noxol, according to the directions on the bottle, it will cure them. —Signed J. Crossland, M.D. Sold everywhere by all patent medicine vendors at 2s per bottle,

Myrtle Grove Cigarettes are manufactured in London by Messrs Taddy and Co. It is said that at Myrtle Grove, Sir Walter Raleigh was soothing his mind with tobacco ho had brought from Virginia, when his Irish servant, thinking his master was on fire, dashed a bucket of water over him to put him out.. Little drops of Peppermint Made by Mr. Wood, Don’t they do a body Such a world of good. Little drops of Peppermint Cure Make you well again, Drive away that hacking cough, And every ache and pain. In consequence of the formation work 8 on the Otago Central lino nearing completion, over forty men were discharged at the beginning of the week, and these have been transferred to other public works throughout the colony. As soon as the pile-driving is finished on Galloway Flat a start will be made with the driving of the piles for the viaduct across Muttontown Gully, between Alexandra and Clyde. Some of the ironwork for the Manuherikia bridge (third crossing) is expected to arrive short!}', when the erection of same will bo at once put in hand, and this structure should be completed by the time the rails are laid to the bridge.—Alexandra Herald. Owing to the action of the King, drastic changes in the style of dress coat are likely to bo made during the coming season, says the Tailor and Cutter. Already blue cloth is being used, while velvet collars have lately become a conspicuous feature in the up-to-date dress coat. “We hear,’’ says the chief organ of the tailoring trade, “ that the King has expressed his disapproval of doublebreasted garments for evening year, and is having specimen stylos prepared for him by leading West End firms, with the view of bringing about a change. It is, therefore, highly probable that the trade will be on the alert to tako up any changes that may be suggested by his Majesty, and the result will be a revolution in the style of evening dress in the immediate future.”
