Sir J 3?ayrer, the President of the Preventive Medicine Section of the Health Congress, in a paper which he read, said it waß now pretty generally understood that about one-fourth of all the mortality in England was caused by preventible disease, that the death rate of large communities might be reduced much below that at whioh it had been wont to stand, that the average duration of life might be lengthened, aud that the conditions of living might be greatly ameliorated. Preventible disease still killed yearly aboutl2s,ooo, and consider, ing the large number of cases for every death, it had been calculated that 78£ millions of days of labor were lost annually, which meant £7.750,000 per annum. This did not include the days lost by the exhaustion so often induced by the still too numerous unhealthy houses of the poor. Towns, villages, and houses were still built in an insanitary way ; the death rate was still higher and the expectancy of life lower than it should be ; and though we had got rid of the terrible plague of the Middle Ages, yet in this cenim-y now closing other epidemics had made their appearance. Cholera had four times visited us ; fevers, eruptive diseases, and diphtheria had prevailed, influenza had appeared several times, even recently, and after leaving us last year ouly to return with renewed virulence, caused in the United States a mortality almost equal to that of the plague.

" THE GRAND " HOTEL AND "HOUSE OP COMMONS" WHISKY. A MONGST colonial hotels " The Grand " jljL occupies a proud position, and stands in the front ranks. It is a magnificent building, and architecturally b.aß no rival either here or in the Australian colonies. With its artistic capitals and symmetrical columns, its tasselated and fireproof floors and decorated dome, its solid stone staircase and large and lofty rooms and admirable modern facilities for exit in case of fire, ifc reminds one of the splendid colossal hotels that grace the large cities of the British Isles, America and the Continent of Europe. Under the efficient management of the proprietors, Messrs J. and J. Watson, it goes without saying that it is about aa cosy and comfortable a hotel as can be found in a day's march ; and notwithstanding its palatial nature the tariff is the same as that which obtains in any ordinary hotel. The attendance ia prompt, and the attendants are courteous and obliging ; as for the food, it is all that culinary art can make it. In the cellars we noticed, amongst other choice nectars, all "fib for ye gods,' the famed Buohanan's •• House of Commons'' Whisky. We were informed that this spirit— of whioh the Messrs Watson speak iv the highest praise— was very popular with their many customers.— Wholesale Agents: —Castendyke and Focke, Wellington. 1 NELSON INDUSTRIAL 00- OPERATIVE SOCIETY, LIMITED, THE COMMITTEE of MANAGEMENT beg to in«imate that Mr Ward, their Manager, having resigned his pceition, they ! have secured the services of Mr. A.
