There is on view at the Mart, Regent Street, a Bplendid collection of New Zealand ferns, artistioally arranged. The ferns are neatly placed in fanoy stands of different design, made from supplejaoks, and the various specimens are thoroughly established. The prioea run from 8s and upwards, and the amount asked is so low that it mußt effeqt speedy clearance. As an ornament to a room a stand of the ferns would be a decided acquisition.

A pleasant ceremony took place at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday, when Mrs A.

While searching for pegß, these gentlemen discovered the totara boundary pegs of some old Maori aeotions which had been put in by Mr Percy Smith in 1865.

The Stratford Settler says : An Incident which brings strongly to the front the necessity for a hospital occurred at the beginning of this week. An elderly man came into Stratford to seek medical aid on Tuesday. He was suffering from an internal derangement, and in great pain. He was operated upon by Dr Randers to afford him temporary relief. The dootor then provided him with a certificate to obtain an order for admittance to the New Plymouth Hospital. After weary, fruitless search, the man sought the Mayor's aid. "While at the Mayor's house he completely collapsed, and had to be provided with a bed. Later on the doctors were again in attendance, and only left the man at 2 o'olook next morning, when the Mayor took the responsibility of sending him on to the hospital without the necessary order from the board's representatives. We commend this case to the consideration of those who sooff at the claims of Stratford for hospital accommodation. E.U.O. invites tenders for ereotion of Otalieator house. Mr Clarson, architect, calls for tenders for ereotion of cottage.

About three years ago my wife had an ftttaok of rheumatißm which confined her to her bed for over a month and rendered herunable to walka step without assistance, her limbs being Bwollen to dpoble their normal size. Mr S. Maddox insisted on my using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I purchased a fifty-cent bottle and used it acooraing to the directions, and the next morning she walked to breakfast without assistance in any manner, and she has not had a similar attaok since.— A.
