THE LATE ACCIDENT AT PETONE.

? TO THE EDITOR. Sir— From the question asked at Dr. Gillon's lecturo by a relative of A. James (the lad who met with an accoident lately, at the Petono workshops), it would appear that tho deceased had not received proper treatment at the hands of his shopmates. These aro tho facts of the case. Immediately after the accident Dr. Wilford was sont for from the Taita, » distance of about three miles. As tho lad was lying in an unconßcions state, and tho chances of finding the doctor at home uncertain, it was thought advisable to send him to town at once. He was placed on a stretcher and brought into Wellington by a special train, in oharge of five men. On arrival he was taken to Dr. Henry, who ordered him to the Hospital. In conclusion, we not knowing the natnro of the injury, think it rather ungrateful for the relative to oast such a reflection on us, when we did all for the beat. We are, Ac, PBTONK WORKMIN.

An accident occurred at Ngahauranga this morning. A butcher named Louis Riohards, in the employ of the Wellington Meat Preserving Company, was in the act of gettinsr into a spring oart, when the horse bolted, and threw him on to the road. One of the wheels of the vehiole passed over bis back and thigh, doing considerable injury. Ho was taken to the Hospital this afternoon. World-Wide HoNOUits.— Tho great German remedy, St. Jacobs Oil, stands honoured with the highest distinction ever paid to a medioine. This is not only tho oase in this country, but abroad everywhere. At the New Zealand International Exhibition, 1882, it received the magnificent First Prize Medal, here reproduced, together with tho highest diploma, for being, according to critical tests, the best pain-curing and healing remedy known to mankind. Our Indian Empiro— Atthereoent Calcutta International Exhibition the jurors awarded the gold modal. The Englishman, of 6th May, commenting on the unparalleled sucoess of St. Jacobs Oil, says :— " Disclaiming irreverent tendencies, St. Jacobs Oil improves on acquaintance, and the jurors have, after mostoruoial tests, conferred upon it the gold medal." No other proprietary medioine has ever been distinguished by such an acknowledgment.
