A monument has just been erectcd in flic yunerotown Cemetery to the memory of tho late licv. Jolin Ryan bv the priests of iho dioccsc of Duncdin. The memorial is a handsome Celtic cross in white marble, about 7ft. in height, with trim Celtic ribbon traoory and rope borders, and was specially executed to the order of the clergy bv Mr li. Fraowell, monumental sculptor, Dunodin.—Tablet. The new coats just to hand are i.he prettiest wo have opened for many a day, reaching from below the knee to the bottom of tin dross, and _ mn.de from rainnroof tweeds in pretty check stripe and fancy mixtures. They are beautifully finished, and, boin.? tailor-wade, tlicy fit like a glove and (rive astviLsh and ladylike appearance to the wearer. Tho prices this year are extremely moderate, running from 15« 6d. 17s 6d, 19s 6d, ?.ls, 255, and 29s to 455, and am well worth the careful consideration of every lady contemplating buying a new coat at T. Ross's, direct importer, 130 Prtnccfi street.... On Tuesday (says tho Southland Times) a young man suffering from mental hallucinations was brought before Mr G. Froggatt, •T.P.. and remanded till Thursday for medical examination. The young fellow has a firm belief that medical men have, by some occult means, placed in his abdomen a number of coins, which at periods set up a secies of olcctricity, which renders his movements beyond his control. For instance, should this imaginary galvanio action occur while lie is ridinp his bicyelo lie acts under tho illusion that he is unablo to stop pedalling, and consequently rides until the imagined action ceases. He is also of opinion that tho. thrill from those coins communicates with fellow workmen, and induces in belli himself and them an utter exhaustion which renders thorn unable io continue their work in his company. One result of tho Ohristehurch Exhibition will be that of raising tho estimation of locally-manufactured products, and it is hi<rh time. Take, for instance, the splen-didly-finished "l'atrinla" men's boots, manufactured in Auckland. How many people appreciate the fact that they are made by New Zealand skill and sinew? The patriotic colonist should insist on tho " Patriata" brand, especially when _it actually ranks as "the pcrfcclion of New Zealand-made footwear." The prices run from 10s 9d to 22s 6d. We instance a few Miles in men's Balmoral boots:—(a) Soft nnx hide, Roloshed, new medium locs. 10s Bd. or with sewn soles 12s 9d; (b) pliant "Bovine" leather, pointed toes, a really strong, nick) hoot. 14s 6d; (e) box calf whole Roloshed, with Fancy edging, medium box toe, 16s 6d.
