EDWAKb PEARCE. THE PUBLIC TRUST OFFICE. Guaranteed by the State. A LTHOUGH this office has been in J\. existence for a period of more than seven years, it is believed that the objects for which it was established are not sufficiently known or understood. It is desired to Bet forth in a concise form information respecting the bnsiness which this office undertakes :—: — 1. The charge of all kinds of money trusts, such as Marriage Settlements, moneys to be invested for the benefit of Minors, moneys bequeathed for charitable objects, moneys the title to which is in dispute, or whose legal owner is unknown or cannot be <>und, &c, &o. 2. The administration of the wills of persons who by appointing the Publio Trustee as their executor secure the guarantee of the State for the due fulfilment of their wishes, and avoid the risk consequent on the appointment of private persons as executors, who not unfrequently, though earnestly desirous of acting for the benefit of parties interested, fail to carry out legally the objects for which they were appointed, and consequently involve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to protect in costly and harassing litigation. 3. The administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to incur the responsibility of administration, or cannot from any cause obtain the necessary powers to act. In such cases it is the duty of the Public Trustee to discharge all legal debts so far as the assets extend, and divide the residue amongst the next of kin. 4. The administration of the estates of lunatics, lunatic patients, and oonviots. 5. The charge of all lands lying waste and unoccupied of whioh the owner is unknown, or who has been absent from the colony for ten years, having left no known agent. The coßt of administering estates is very small. Information may be obtained from all agents. — R. C. HAMERTON, Public Trustee.

SWEETS are the necessities of childhood and youth, henco Providence has wisely implanted in the young 1 on almost insatiable desire for Bugar. Without this element largely mingled with its food, the healthiest born infant would die in a month. In vain would it nestle on its mother's bosom, in vain its exposure to the warming sunßhine, and in vain the softest blankets and warmest furs to encase its body, for the warmth which sustains human life comes from within, must be generated by the internal combustion of carbonaceous food as found in all sweets and fat. It is the most inveterate of all prejudices in civilized life that sweets hurt children ; on the contrary, they are a prime necessity, and to deprive them of their candies, if pure, is barbarism — W.
