THE Manawatu Herald. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1873.

Oiving to heavy pressure upon our apace from reports and advertising, we are compelled to hold over our leader, and several locals of interest to various parts of the Coun'.y. Otaici Post Office.— "We aye p-lad to see that the Government are pushing on with iho new Otaki Po.st Office and Telegraph Station. The new building' is c I little farther away from the centre of the town, than the present "shed" which sorves as an ofuoo. The instrument room will ba lCft x lift iv size?, and thoro will also be ample accommodation for tho ! oiiicor-iu-ch.irge, JVTr Pace. Th.; works are j being carried out by Mr Kus.sell, of Wc-1-I linglon. The new buildings ;:ro icuch I nceuciT, and we congratulate tlia residents of Otaki on the great improvemont they will make to their township. School.— Wo learn that the results of the recent examination are vory satisfactory. We shall publish the particulars ia next issue. Sale. - Messrs Thyuuo, Lintoa and Co holl a sale of general merchandise at their mart to-morrow. Valuer Wanted.— ln another column, Iho Otaki Highways JJoard call for tenders for the office of valuer. Rather Amusing.—- During the hearing of the case at the Court on Wednesday, in 5 which a German named Henrich John was charge! with insulting Dr Rockstrow, a rather amusing episode occurred, Mr Staite was asking another German, who appeared as witness through Mr Hulke, who acted as interpreter, whether his companion was drunk or not, when before Mr Hulko could put it to him in German, he promptly replied " No, no ;" Of course those Court burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter, in which Liench, counsel, and people heartily joined, and his Worship remarked — " He understands somo English, at any rate." Choual Society.— A very good practice of the above Society was held in the lublic Hall on Wednesday evening. The concert has been definitely fixed for the 18th inst, and we anticipate a most successful evening's entertainment will bs given. Besides the vocal music, two orchestral selections will be performed, viz., Scotson Clark's celebrated "Marohe Aux Flambeaux," and Lecoq's La Marjolaino Waltz, from his charmin« opera of that name. New Discoveby In Medicine.— Since the opening of his Model Hall in Wellington, Mr J. Mcmteifch haa spared no eftbrt iv acquiring information as to the new medicines that are being continually introduced in the great Medical Establishments in Europe, his experience having convinced him that a careful study of this question would enable him to place before the public of this city some of the many advantages which are reaped by tho inhabitants of the old world centres Iv consequence of the rapid whirl of Colonial life, there are many people who are ■weaned and troubled with neuralgia, nervuus headache, indigestion, and such-like complaints. But it is stated that the introduction of a now medicine known as the Wine of the Citrate of Iron of Quinine, is a most invaluable and infallible remedy for these distressing complaints, wlale another new medicine, Tho Compound Decoction of Red Jamaica, and Sarsaparilla, with Dandelion and Potash, recently intro* duced into the great Paris Hospitals is stated to be, without exception, the most effectual remedy known for cleansing the blood ; and makes the patient feel as if he had obtained a new lease of life. The sole right to the sale of these two valuable medicines for the Colony of New Zealand has been acquired by Mr Monteith, and ha it has been truljr Baid that the physician or chemist, who introduces a new medicine, and thereby materially aUeriatefl the sufferings

of poor humanity is worthy of all honor, we hope that the enterprise of Mr Montcith will result in both honor and profit. — Evening 1 Chronicle.
