A Maori named Hikaerc Te Papa, being of unsound mind was examined yesterday at Marton, and committed to the Wellington Asylum to-day.

PROFESSOR ANDREW JAMIESON PRINCIPAL of the COLLEGE Of ARTg AND SCIENCES, GLASGOW (Scotland), gives his evidence as follows :—: — " Five weeks ago I got from you a Waterbury Watch j and having been previously annoyed by my lever watch stopping ana keepihg bad time whenever I went near dynamo machines, I inserted the Waterbury Watch between the poles of a tenhorse power dynamo. Of course the watch instantly stopped; but on being started again I only regulated it twice within two days, and have found that for one whole month it did not vary two minutes from correct Greenwich time. I now prefer it to my former and more expensive watch, aud consider it an excellent timekeeper for workihg men and othors connected with electric lightinc.

If you want correct time and a watch, which, in event of accident, can bi cheaply and efficiently repaired, AVOID the cheap trashy, Swiss burglar-baits sometimes sold to the unwary as timekeepers. Consult public opinion in the matter — not the interests of some pettifogging dealer, who too eagerly foists upon you a useless, rubbishy, and worthless article for the sake of gaining a little extra profit, and who cares little for your execrations which will surely be showered on his head in the near future. If you consult publio opinion you will beyond a shadow of a doubt BUY A WATERBURY, the testimony in favor of ob a reliable and accurate timekeeper is overwhelming, and whioh, moreovor, Jin event of injury can bo (efficiently repaired at low cost by taking or sending it to any of the company's repair agencies established in various centres of tho colonies. The Waterbury may be obtained from any leading or respectable storekeeper, price (scries E) 13s 6d, series (J or L) 20s.
