The recent snowstorm on Baik's Peninsula was the heaviest, say the old residents, for 30 years. The snow io many places was over the fence tops, and some drifts were 20 feet deep, and will take week? to thaw out. There is a heavy loss in sheep and cattle.' It is feared the snow is so deep on the hi«h ground that the sheep will have no grass for a few weeks. Only a few spurs along the coast are clear. At Wainui, I'rennh Farm Barry Bay, and Duvauchelles the snew is down to the wat'r's edge, and is thiwing very slowly. 6 j

' 14 MONHY PANIC IN THE OITY.-Notbi' g disorganises all sorts of business so effectually as a money pan'c in the City of London. It signifies that something is wroog with the very foundation upon which t h e whole fabric of commerce is erected. The commercial world turns gidiy as it were, and loses its head. In such a case even the : wisest man does no't know what to do. In our perfonil trouble'", happily -we are not so helpless. If we suffer from headache, indiges ion, loss of appetite, disorder of the s oinach or liver, we simply take our Holloway's Pills and we find relief. If it is gont rheumatism, bronchitis, sore throat, or weak chest which ails us, we turn to Holloway s Ointment, which is an infallible remedy for all such troubles —Advt. TESTIMONIAL.
