I It is to be hoped that the Hospital Commission will take the evidence of the Hon. Dr. Grace and Dr. Johnston, the Honorary Consulting Surgeon and Physioi&n. They should be able to give valuable testimony. The meeting of creditors convened for this morning at the Supreme Court Buildings in the estate of John Heinrich Meyer, oabinetmakor, Willis-street, lapsed for want of a quorum. The liabilities, consisting of small debts, amounted to 4347 12s, and the assets comprised furniture valued at .£lO. The Junior Cup Match to-morrow between the Poneke and Wellington Clubs should be a very interesting contest. The Union are still considerably in debt owing to the many engagements this season, and donations will be taken at the gates. The match will start at 3 o'olock sharp. Messrs. Elliott & Co., boot and shoe vendors, of Willis-street, in consoquence of advioes of large shipments from Home, have begun a three week's sale of their present extensive gtook, in order to make room for fresh supplies. Thoßo who remember the last sale advertised by this firm neod not be assured that the bargains offered will be genuine. Messrs. Elliott A Co. call the Bpeoial attention of visitors to the Exhibition to the exceedingly low prices at whioh they are now offering the best olass of goods. The Star of Wellington Lodge held its weekly session last evening at No. 9> Boom, Athencoum, when Bro. W. Johnson, W.0.T., took the chair. Several matters were spoken of b,y the delegates who hod attended the meeting tho previous evening relatiye'-to the coming demonstration, and also respecting raising means -to support the temperance looturer Mr. Glover for three years' in the colony. After the usual routine business hod been transacted, the question-box was passed round, and a number of instructive and interesting anawerß were given. Next session an extraordinary meeting is to take place, and it is hoped that every brother and sister will be there to take part. " That'll You Take?"— Mr. Jerry P. Thomas, President of the Gourd Club, and well-known as a dispenser of tho most enjoyable compounds to the habitues of Central Park Hotel, 59th Street and 7th Avenue, New York, United States of America, writes aft follows !— " Laßt summer I suffered fearfully with Neuralgia, and oould not get any rest night or day. A friend who had used St. Jacobs Oil thought so highly of its healing qualities that he gave me some to try. I tried it, and obtained the first night's reat in weeks, and waa cured. I have foumd it to be the yery best remedy. I keep it oonstantly in my house for my family, have reoommended it to others, and would not be without it on any account." Great oaks from little aoorns sprint?, Great aches the little toe-corns bring; Bttt'for every oorn That over was born, St. Jacobs Oil is just the thing.
