■ are never imitated, Oj'conterfeited. This is es" Specially true of a family medicine, and it is ;positive proof .that the remedy imitated is. oi thehigest value. As soon as it had been tasted ; and proved by the whole World that Hope Bitters was the purest,, best and mos valuable family medicine on earft many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and people of the country had expressed the ; merits of H. 8., and in every way, trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H.B. Many others strrted nostrums put up in similar scyleto H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word " Hop " or "Hops" were used in '& way;to induce people to believe they were :the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name .is, and especially those with' the word "'Hop " or "Hops'" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, 'are imitations,, or; counterfeits.

Hugh Shortland, arrested on a charge of murdering his wife, has been discharged, and the charge withdrawn. We published an account of the circumstances attending his arrest in our last issup. Some years ago " Billy " Rowe was a formidable personage, politically and socially, at the Thames ; and it will be recollected he once defeated Sir Julius "Yogel for the Thames seat by a very substantial majority. But of late years he has fallen very low indeed. From the 'New Zealand Herald's' report we read that at Sir George Grey's recent meeting at the Thames' Mr Rowe was a disturber of the proceedings, and was expelled by order of the Mayor, who presided. The police locked him up till the following Monday, when he was brought before Mr Bagnall, J. P., on a charge of drunkenness. The defendant .denied being intoxicated. He asserted that, all the liquor he had taken daring the last three months, if taken within' two hours, wonld not affect him. It was the excitement caused by some of Sir George Grey's statement's' that caused him to act as he did, more especially when he heard Sir George Grey make statements derogatory to the Premier — than whom" no man in New Zealand had done more for the Thames--he was carried awry by his impulsive nature. His Worship said he was- present when the disturbance took place, and tbe constable's evidence was mainly correct. Re would say lipthing as to intoxication. . Allowing for U.i , iisdiguity suffered byMrliowe he would dismiss the case.
