A Great Business.—The United States of America is the home of some very large enterprises, but none perhaps greater than the business conducted by Mr G. G. Green of Woodbury, New Jersey, U.S.A. He is the proprietor of the well known Boschee’s German Syrup, which is unequalled as a remedy for Pulmonary and Bronchial affections. He manufactures also Green’s August Flower for Dyspepsia and disorders of the Liver. These preparations are used throughout the civilised world and thousands testify to their valuable curative properties. Both the?* preparations have reached an immense sale solely on their merits. Sample bottles of each are sold at fid, or full sized bottles at 3s fid. All druggists keep them.

At the annual meeting of the Greytown Horticultural Society on Saturday evening a suggestion was made that a concert, consisting of old favorite songs—English, Irish and Scotch—should be got up in order to put the Society on a good financial footing. The Shows of the Greytown Horticultural Society have always been attractive to a largo number of the residents, but the subscriptions and door money have not been sufficient to pay the expenses incurred in the shape of prize money, printing, and etceteras. We feel sure that the residents in and around Greytown would be sorry to see the Society languish for want of support, and therefore wo hope that the suggestion made by Mr Nation at the annual meeting will be carried through with spirit and that the funds of the Society may be augmented to the extent of several pounds. Many of the songs of modern clays are no doubt of a high character, hut wo all know how the hcait responds 10 the old favorite airs learned in y mth, and whatsmemories they sometimes call up. Wo believe it would be a rich treat for many >•{ our old settlers who have been so long from the Old Country, and these old songs would be welcome to the rising generation. It is hoped that the public will provide a bumper house, and if this concert is a success it will be an encouragement to have a yearly one consisting of these old favorite airs. We are glad to find that several of our vocalists have promised their hearty support and therefore we look forward with confidence to the evening of Thursday, 22nd October, “ Buohu Paiba."

We beg to call the attention of our readers to the insets with this issue, containing the programme of the concert to be performed by the Wesleyan Choir, assisted by friends, in the Town Hall, Qreytown, next Friday evening. The programme is a good one, comprising eight “short racy readings by Mr F. H. Wood, and fifteen vocal and pianoforte renderings. The choir will number nearly thirty voices. The several items, we believe, have been well rehearsed, and a very pleasant “ Musical Evening" is anticipated. The Bev J. Ward is to act as conductor, and Mrs Ward as pianist.
