A Friend to Man*.— We are exceedingly sorry to hear of the death of Mrs Dalton, who foe very many years has held the position of matron and head nurse at the Nelson Hospi" tal. It is between 25 and 30 years ago that the Nelson Provincial Government scoured the services of the deceased, who txij that timo was a nurse at the ' Addenbrook Hospital, Cambridgeshire, and during her many years of service at the Nelson Hospital, Mrs Dalton has earned the gratitude of not a few by her general kindliness and constant attention. Some few weeks ago she complained of some irritation in the foot, but daring the present week arrangements were made for ampnta^ tion, as gangrene bad set in, It was found, however, that tha operation wag mprg than the patient could stand, and yesterday the kindly attendant of others passed away. There are many, we are sure, who will experienoe very real sorrow at her decease. Wbetobed Weather. — According to the oldest inhabitants, such a succession of unpleasant weather as that which has been experienoad in Nelson of late is altogether unprecedented. It is little consolation, too, to know that other localities have fared worse. A visitor from Blenheim states that for six weeks bad weather has prevailed there, and that daring that periodVthe town has been flooded five times. Prom Wellington and other places accounts are equally unfavorable, but it is sincerely to be hoped that the clouds will soon roll away, for the continued wet weather is depriving many men of employment. The Cos jregational Church.— The Bey. W. A. Evans, who is at present on a brief visit to Nelson, will conduct the services at this Churoh to-morrow, and we are oonfident that very many will be glad of the opportunity of again listening to a gentleman of such eiuditioD. In the morning Mr JSvans will take for his sabjeot '• Suffering, a Condition of Service,", and, in the evening, '• The Christian Basis of the State." On Tuesday next the rev. gentleman will lecture on Oarlyle. Insanity vebsds Sanity. — We have received a letter signed " Fair Flay," commenting upon the aotion taken in respect to a person of whom our correspondent says, " I do admit that his intellect is slightly deranged, but not sufficiently to warrant the steps which have been taken." " Fair Flay " says that upon religious subjeots the person alluded to held very strange notions, but the manner in which ha attended to his own affairs Bhowed he was no lunatic. The actions of certain persons are commented upon in such a manner, however, that we cannot give publicity to the letter. Our correspondent urges that the authorities should look into the matter, but seems to overlook the faot that every person before being committed to the Asylum must be examined by two medical men. However, if "Fair Play" believes that an injustice has been done, and oan showgrounds for such belief, we feel sure that a representation of the case to the authorities will lead to an enquiry. " Fair Play" Bays " people who have koown this person could swear that he is not a lunatic" Let these people join in a demand for an enquiry if they believe a wrong has been done. To publish a letter containing libellous statements would not mend matters. Football. — Owing to the unfavorable state of the weather and ground, the Matoh Committee of the Rugby Union have postponed the trial matoh whioh was to have token place this afternoon. It is understood that the match Senior v. Junior probable representatives is to take place on Monday afternoon, and that day being considered a general holiday, no doubt the whole of the players selected will be able to be present, — The Gollege-Biwaka Junior Gup matoh will take jpjape on the letter's ground on Monday next.

H Mackenzie will conduot the services at this Church to-morrow. §|St John's Chdboh; — To-morrow's services at St. John's Wesleyan Church will be conducted by the Eev John Nelson, who recently arrived from/England. ,;• A Good Thing.— Some few days ago we reoeived a bottle of John Martin's Eoyal Universal. Balsam together with numerous printed testimonials as to its efficacy in affording relief in oases of aches and pains, but at the same time we were requested to test its worth. Two suitable cases came; within our knowledge, and in respect to both has the Balsam proved all that is claimed for it. : A sufferer from Rheumatism in the arm, and who had been unable .to lift any weight for some time deolares that although the wet; weather that affected him continues he is now able to use the arm freely ; and in the other case alluded to, a sufferer from neuralgia, states, that after using the Balsam he had a better night's rest than he had had for many days. Such testimony speaks for itself . The Balsam is obtainable from the chemists, and; at the stores. Tq-dat Messrs Bisley Bros & Co. will sell by public auction, at their Farmers Sale Booms, at 11 o'clock ; 6 sets of harness, sulky, drapery, boots and shoes, 14 sacks carrots, barley, apples, cocksfoot Beed, &c.

They have given hope, relief, and comfort to millions. In irritation and debility, generated by excesses of any kind, or in general prostration of the system, their effect is rapidly soothing, renovating and restorative. They rapidly drive from the system the morbid cause of ailment, and renew in the frame its pristine animation, health, and vigour. They greatly increase the appetite, give tone to the stomach, assist the digestion, and impart elasticity to the spirits ; their essence enters the circulation and, carried through its course, exerts its cleansing power over every organ. In the lungs they affect most striking changes, converting the impure venous into pure ar:erial blood, by which the whole frame is recruited.

mittee, he had placed himself in the hands of the Board. He had not sought the appointment in any way, there was only one member of the Board, Mr Phillips, that ho was friendly with. He was quite dear of any seeking or canvassing for the appointment, which had come to him from the Board in a purely voluntary manner. He had called upon members -of the Oommittee, but that was after the Board had appointed, him. (Members of Committee assented.) He thanked them foc^thur * sympathy; . and accepted their disclaimer of having no other mptive3in . opposing his appointment. He ateo thanked them for their courtesy. During the. week he had not reoeived any individual discourtesy from boy or man.; even the boys when he spoke to them had wished him- good morning, and from them he had received perfect courtesy. He was aware that many of the boys who had called out the previous morning did not belong to that school, but he thought little of that, he knew what sohooiboys were, and he could understand how they would enjoy the situation. He would not entertain any bitter feelings, and the respect with whioh he had been treated would certainly live in his mind. Mr Graham expressed his pleasure at the remarks i in reference to the boys' conduct made by Mr Ladley. Mr Ladley then shook hands with the members of the Committee and withdrew.
