' The Wellington Steam Perry Company intends to add a great holiday attraction to its property at Day's Bay, in the form of a water-obute, a "seusation-oreator" that has for years been highly popular in the Old World and America.

In an action, the cause of which waa flagrant misuse of our firm name and other gross misrepresentation by an imi tating company, which was tried before his Honor, Ch'ef Justice J. Madden, K.C.M.G.; L.L.D., in the Supreme Court, at Melbourne, the prosecution showed:— 1. That Sander and Sons' Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract contains all medical constituents of the euonlypti, in a highly refined and pure form. 2. That it is muoh more powerfully healing (antiseptic) than ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 3. That it does not depress the heart like ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 4. That it contains no harmful ingredients, and 5. That it is highly commended by many authorities for the last 30 years as a safe, reliable and effective remedy. Some imitators have tried to deceive the public by simulating our get-up; others have relied on the "just as good" game. Therefore take care and obtain the GENUINE! SANDER AND SONS EUCALYPTI EXTRACT First Business Man: "I see that Mr Up-to-date has just had that old-fashioned shop iront of his taken out and plate glass put in." Second Ditto: "Yea! Be got Sobt.

Carterton Borough Council, a dispute over the taking of laud for the septic tank site in connection with tbe Borough drainage system. On July 28th last the Compensation Court sat in Carterton to hear the oases, Bud awarded £927 to Tulls's estate, and £656 to Stevens. On tbe same day the awards were filed in the Supreme Court, Wellington. As tho amounts had not been paid by the Borough Onunoil to the Public Trust office within 60 days of the decision of the Court in accordance with the Puolio Works Act, writs of sale were issued from, the Wellington Supreme Court by Messrs Skerrett and Wylie, on behalf of Tally's estate and Stevens.

However, dur- ' ing the oourso of the day the money was paid to the sheriff by the Borough Council.

Owing to an error of statics, the work of reconstructing the fallen Campanile at Venice will have to be begun again. Six hundred Boere, wbo belong to a fanatical sect, have trekked from the Transvaal, fearing that the colony i 8 to be visited ty Divine wrath. It is asserted on reliable authority that tne Pope is suffering from gout in a dangerous form, although His Holiness is apparently well, it is feared that fatal paralysis ot the heart may occur. Mrs Devonshire the wife of a retired officer of the Indian Army, was found dead with her little daughter in the Charing Cross hotel. It is believed that she shot her daughter first, and then oommitted suioide. The vital statistics for Carterton for the month of September were:— Birth», 5; death, 1; marriages, 2.

A contemporary says that as the result of one year's testing of the Levin State Farm's herd it hBB been deoided to weed out thirty oat of 130 cows, some of them not having paid for th«* cost of keep. There Is said to fce every prospeot that the aoreage of wheat wilJ still further decrease in Marlborough this season. Barley and chaff ore regarded as the most profitable products, and barley, oats'aud peas will be soon in the greatest areas. The Taranaki Herald ventures to say that never, within its history of sixty odd years, has the Taranaki province been so prosperous as it is to-day, and that never has it had such good cause to congratulate itself upon its immediate prospeots. Dairy farmers have never had a season open with so much promise as this one. On Thursday night, says the Carterton News, the whare in Maunga' tarera Valley, occupied by one Kirkpatriok, employed by W. Booth and Co.. was destroyed by fire, and Kirkpatriok, who is a native of Glasgow, had a narrow esoape from death. He was aroused by the actual oontaot of flatnes;witu his body the fire naving penetrated the bad and bis underclothing. He escaped, butlost every thing, including £5 15s in money. origin of the fire is a mystery. According to o return prepared on the motion of Mr Stallworthy, M.H.R., and presented to Parliament, 59,661 owt. offish, of the value of £106.078, was exported out of New Zealand from 1886 to 1904, the period during which a bonus was paid. The total amount of bonus paid was £13,149. During 1905 1,229 owt. of fish, valued at £6,446 was exported and for the half ye,ar ended June 30th last the quantity exported was 480 owt. valued at £2,159. During these latter periods no- bonus for exportation has beeu paid. If tnero was ever any doubt as to the effect of the Australian tariff agreement upon the local flourmilling industry (says the Oamaru Mail) it would be sat at rest by the quotations of flour being forwarded | to the colony by Australian mills. One local baker has been offered Australian floor at £7 15p a ton, landed in Oamaru; that is 15s a ton cheaper than the local millers can manufacture it at the present price of wheat; while the .baker will also have the added advantage which aoorues to Australian flour: the fact that it makes considerably more loaves to the [sack. The M6roar.tile Gazette aireots attention to a matter which should be taken In hand by the Legislature. Under the old Debtors and Creditors Act, of 187G every bankrupt was discharged by the operation of the statute after the lapse of threw years from the day upon which hw was adjudicated. But when the Debtors and Creditors Act was repealed by the Bankruptcy Act of 1883 the section un der which the bankrupt became discharged at the expiration of the third year was not re-enacted and since then every bankrupt remains a bankrupt until he has receive 1 his discbarse in open Court. In oonseqnence of this the Gazette thinks it is not mis stating the fibres when it says that 75 per cent, of those who have become bankrupt since too Official Assignees came into office are undischarged. This is held to be moat undesirable in the interest of the community, no good purpose bairn? served permitting a considerable section of our popnlntion to remain under this disability.
