The Bev. Andrew McQueen, of Aberdeen (brother of Mr John McQueen, of Inveicargillj preached at the Goie Presbyterian church on Sunday. He commended to the congregation as its motto for the year " Thy God; thy Glory," and, in doing so, commented on the marked fewness of bibles brought to church by worshippers in this colony. • Tne New Zealand Band is to leave Wellington for London on March I<J. Lieut. Herd has made his final selection, and among the players chosen are J. W. Glennie, solo comet, Southland Battalion Band ; G. M. Nichol, solo cornet, Bluff Naval Band ; A. l'Vrguson, second euphonium, Southland Battalion Band; and C. Hansen, BHat bass, Southland Battalion Band. Writing with regard to the selecion of the band and it* prospt:cts t Lieut. Herd says:—"ln making this selection, I 'wish it to be distinctly understood that at least three good players lost their chance of being included in thtj band owing to iheir unwillingness to play subordinate However, all things considered, the band is a very strong one, and, with diligent practice for four weeks prior to leaving the colony, and with six weeks' practice on the way Home, it should do honor to New Zealand." A shocking fatality occurred at the Falmerston North railway station yesterday morning, Alexander Buchan, head storeman, being run over by a shunting train. Death was almost Jnstantaneous. The accident occuvred while deceased was passing between carriages, which were in motion. His right, leg was severed at the knee, and practically at the hip, and the left leg was also practically severed at the hip. Deceased expired before he was ex'ricated. He joined the railway service in 1879, at Wanganui, was aged 50, and leaves a wife and daughter. A Waipawa message states that the aged Maori chief, Hemi Turupu, was burned to death on New Year's eve at Kairnkau through his whare accidentally catching lire. Only the legs and arms were found, the body being consumed. The first wool sales of the season at Dunedin yesterday resulted in deadlock. Buyers asked whether the conditions were to •be amended in the direction of giving a rebate of tid instead of 3d off the delivery charges to buyers who do their own carting. The auctioneer replied in the negative, whereupon the buyers rose in a body and left the hall. Inquiries made subsequently seem to show that both sides are obstinate. Dysentery caused the death of more people than small pox and yellow fever combined. In an army it is dreaded more than a battle. It requires prompt and effective treatment. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhcea Remedy has been used in nine epidemics of dysentery in the United States with perfect success, and has cured the most malignant cases both of children and adults, and under the moßt trying conditions. Every household should have a. bottle at hand. Get it to-day. It may save a life. G. E. Wharton, Chemist, sells it. The McCormick Harvester is the only machine tbat is good enough for everybody.— (Advt.) The McCormick is built for clean work, quick work, perfect work. Its gears are the strongest known.—(Advt). •
