WANGANUI DROWNING CASE.

. ; The Chronicle says Watts had just >& attained his 36 ch year, and was a man of Bterling character. The name of the woman who was the caaae of the tragedy is Bessie Scott, 24 years of age, and daughter of Mrs A. Scott, of Okaiawa, a well known and thoroughly respected settler residing on her farm in that district. The unfortunate young woman came .' to Wanganui and entered the servioe of ' Mrs Greig, wife of the manager of the local branch of the Bank of Australasia. Mrs Greig gives her an admirable character, and Btates that during the 1 time she has been in her servioe no fault whatever could be found with her. So far as is known, there was no necessity for her entering service at all, but as her health was such as to necessitate a 1 change she presumbly preferred to take 9 a situation. Mr Greig informs us that the y girl has of late appeared to have some* c thing troubling her. She has been a depressed in spirits and has complained of a pain, or dizziness, in her head. '• "**" — —^^^— c '• The Styneß' benefit concert, which takes v place at the Opera House on Wednesday next, promises, from what we can hear, to be a big success. Leading vocalists and c musicians, together with the Patea amat teurs, should undoubtedly supply a very , a good programme, and we hope to see a big g house. , j 1 Notice has been received from the South Kinsington School of Art that Mr H. J. f t Babbage, of Hawera, was awarded the sum of £2 '2s, on account of marks for work ' sent up to Sftuth Kensington, f A Yorkshire vipar tell how he ono c received the following note from one of hi 8 parishioners: — "This is to give notioe I that I and Miss Jemima Bearley are 1 coming to your church on Saturday • afternoon next to undergo the opeiation ' of matrimony. Please be prompt, as the ' cab is hired by the hour. Forewarned is forearmed." When in conversation with one of our 1 invalided boys from South Africa, a gentlek man asked the question, And how do the 1 boots worn by our boys compare with those 1 worn by "Tommy Atkins?" The youth's i face brightened. Why sir ! Itß just the same old cr/ : our New Zealand products often imitated but never equalled ; our boots beat theirs badly. Our readers will ' remember that Hannah and Co. supplied tho Government with boots for the con tingents. They were made at the rate of 500 pairs a day, so no time oould be given* to the selection of material. They were made as their boots and shoes are generally made, with the best of material and workmanship. REMARKABLE CURE OF RHEUMATISM. dlflZ) Kenna, Jackson Co., Wa., Ya. About three years ago my wife had an i attack of rheumatism which confined her to her bed for over a month and rendered her unable to walk a step without assistance, her limbs being swollen to doable their normal size. Mr S. Maddox insisted on my using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I purchased a fifty-cent bottle and used it according to the directions, and the next morning she walked to breakfast without assistance in any manner, an,d she has not had a similar attack since.— A.
