The ' Sydney Morning Herald ' of 23rd May has an appreciative notice of Miss Jeannie Ramsay, who toek part in a fashionable concert the previous evening. There are many in Gore who will be pleased to hear that the lady ia decidedly strengthening her position with concert-goers.

An Edinburgh piper has a rather warm article on " Hospital Practice in New Zealand," the grievance of the inoictment being in the alleged fact that at the Arrowtown Hospital — of whose preciee locality the editor professes ignorance, though he believes it to be near Dunedin — a, broken leg wa3 set by the warder, au old sailor, there being uo resident surgeon at the time, owing to a dispute between a former surgeon and the hospitnl committee. However, as the operation thus performed proved a success, it is a.imitted that no harm was done in that instance.

The ordinary meetiDg of the Gore Blue Ribbon Society was held la6t Tuesday evening, and was one of tbe best that has been held for some time past : the " eruption " at tbe annual meeting seems to have infused new life into members.

Hollowiy's Pills.— Weasry of Life.—Derflngement of the liver is oue of the most efficient caus( s of dongerous diseases and the most prolific of those melancholy forebodings which are wortfl than death itself. A few doses of these noted Pilla act magically in dispelling low spirits and repelling tbe covert atfackß made on the health by excepsive heat, impure atmosphere, over-iridul-gencp, or exhausting excitement. The most shattered constitution may derive benefit from Holloway's Pills, which wil 1 regulate disordered action, brecj tae nerves, increase the energy if the iftteileclual faculties, and revive the fniing memory. By attentively studying the instructions for taking these Pills, and obeuienfcly putting thtm in practice, the most detp indent will soon feel confident of a perfect recovery. ! Mr Bichard Soley, contractor, had a very j narrow escape from 'a serious accident last j week. While driving a loaded wajgon with | Mr Bowie to the latter'd farm, they had to descend a slight gully.

The wheel of the waggon passed over Mr Foley's right hand, but fortuaatcly no bones gre broken, though he is severely injured otherwise. Tp show {jew narrow waa his escape from deAfch, we may state that the wheel actually grazed the light side of his cheek, taking feme of the tkin from bis cheek and ear. Mr Foley will not soon forget the fright be got orj tljjs occasion, as he sa^- the wheel as he thought about to crush bis bead whilst he was unable to move OUC of the w*f t

Instone) in prtaenc^ of a number of members, presented Mr H.

Wuile a<.me of Host Howells' best champagne was being discmsed, ao were reminiscences of spoit in this province aud other parts of the colony in the early days, aud m*uy kindly references made tv thoae men (some of whom luve passed away) who had done their best to keep horse raciag alive during the many ups and downs the eport baa experience i in Southland.

At the Invercargill R.M. Court on Tuesday, before Mr O. E. Rawson, R.M., F. V. Raymond sued 0. Muir for the recovery of L 7 18i8i, for law costs. Mr K. W. Hall appeared for plaintiff and Mr Wade for dafendent. It appeared that, instructed by Mr Raymond, auctioneer, of Wyndham, as ageat for filuir, plaintiff nad prepared a conveyance and mortgage under the old Act in connection with the sale and pureh aße of some land near Wyndham. Defendant signed the documents in dua course an d admitted that he knew they were dr awn by plaintiff. Defendant, however, disputed the agency of the auctioneer, and obj cc ted t" payment on the ground that, whil c he had beea led to believe the ccst to him would be about the amount aued for, another solicitor had also been employed by the mortgagee whose charges, L 5 sj,5 j , for parusal, he, defendant, had also been obliged to pay Thfo plaintiff contended \v»s a necegsuy legal expense, and had nothing to do with his charges or service rendered ; that if defendant had been in any way misled it wa3 not by him, and that his rjmedy was against h s agent. Defendant did not object to plaintilt's charges as excessive, but averred that he had been called upon to pay a much larger sum, putting the two accounts together, than he had been led to expect, or was necessary. His Worship thought the auctioneer should not have caused the defendant to iucur two sets of costs, which expanse would have been avoided had he referred him to the vendor's solicitors inetead of to the plaintiff. Judgment was given for L 3 83, with costs 1 2 6*. — la reply to Mr Wade his Worship said that plaintiff's charges were reasonable, but that defendant had beeu put to unnecessary expense, for which the judgment »i lowed.

The No Fuss Clearing Sale afc Beattie';. — Crowded all the titre, and I would kindly ask our townspeople to come any day but Saturday, as I am so overcrowded wlih country paople ou that • ay that I canuofc devote the time and attention I could wish to them. Therefore if convenient come any of the other five days during my cheap sale. In saying this I must apologue for lack of hands to serve all on Saturday last, and will try to meet the demand this coming Saturday and all the time throughout this sale, i thunk my customers for the kindly way they have responded to my cheap sale, and am hippy to say thac if it continues as begun it will more than realise my expectations. N.B.— Beware of the Red Danger Flag when hoisted by comparative strangers who have aacunfc relic 3 from two or tin cc shops to dispose of as new and fashionable goods. It was just too thin of our red flag friend that ticket yarn ; he should speuk the truth and shame the deil. He hrs brought up these soiled tickets from Invercargill to save expenses of printing clean ones in Gore. Moral : Anything is gooi enough for Gore. Advt. i-erwnly the oeot medicine Known is A.

" The red flag again." \V. Lewis and Co. 'a great clearing sale is still booming ahead. We hold the largest, the best selected, and the best bought stock of drapery, men's and boys' clothing, etc., held by any firm trading in Southland. Our combined stocks — (Jore and luvercargill— amount to Lip,OOO. We are therefore prepared to offer the choicest selection, aud the manner in which the purchasing publio patronise our great sale is in itself ample proof as to the yulue obtained at our establishment. The adverti ement of one of our respectable rag men leads— "Beware of the red flag." (W. Lewis and Co.'s). This fog-horn note of despondency fails to accomplish the desired effect. The writer seems to have forgotten that there is an exception to every rule. Strategy is not in all cases the greatest art of war. There has been NO fuss made about the affair, but the individual in question has been lost in a mist, which, upon being aispelled by the rising sun, revealed to his astonished gaze W, Lewis and Co.'s much desplsei red f}ag, the sight of whicty to all in.tents'arid purposes lias had tfye same effect as the proverbial red rag before the infuriated " taurus." W. Lewis and Co.'s goods will bear inspection. We make no Fuss abaut this interesting statement : it is proof positive, or at aoyrate goes to show that our prices are, to say the least, very attractive. The tickets attached to goods displayed at the doors of our establishment have been repeatedly thumb-marked by -the trader who makes NO FUSS abaat trying to convince the publio that he is busy all the time. Vf. Lewis an.d Qi. T,yill jj'ave s'nepiar'lißes during thfis week, 1 Just "to hand, a few real Eider down quilts at sale prices — W. Lewis and Co., Main street, Gore and Invercargill. The N.B. notice of our " No Fuss " friend no one believes although it is evidently intended for 'nother blister. In utter prostracioa he takes to moralising ; every expression ia characteristic of what Burns terms a " raxin' conscience." Let him call in the Inspector of Nuisances before he flits from his " old curiosity shop.H The moral iv thts case jsrtha't ipewia ana Co. are doing the' business and "No Eusi" would like to see the linn annihilated .
