AN ELTHAM SENSATION.

The Elthaui Argus reports that on Tuesday morning, while Constable Eedican was posting some letters at a pillar box, a man named Thomas Norris, whose brother was committed to the asylum the previous day, came up and made some rambling statements to which the constable listened quietly, suspecting from previous knowledge that there was something wrong. The constable had noticed the man's erratic and suspicious demeanour on Monday, and. his conduct now made it necessary to put lN tae man under restraint and have him examined by the doctors. In order to carry out this intention, the canstable suggested to Norris that he ought to accompany him to the residence of Mr Norris, senr. Norris made no objection, and both set out for the fathers residence. On the way thither, they passed the house of Ike Norris, and Tom Norris remarked that he would go in and see his brother. The constable, anxious to obtain sufficient assistance, went on to the father's place and told the father and the other brothers what he intended to do. In the meantime Tom Norris, without seeing his brother Ike or delaying in the house, passed to the rear and crossed the paddocks towards Constable Redican's dwelling. At the door he met the constable's son and, taking him by the throat, flung him violently aside ana kicked him. Entering the house, he proceded to wreck the place. He damaged tbe furniture in the parlour and in one of the bedrooms. He tossed everything about and seizing one of the chairs he bashed the piano with it until he had broken tbe cover over the keys and crushed the woodwork down through the keyboard. He smashed the mirrors, tore the curtains, and in his wild frenzy left nothing in the two rooms undamaged. Mrs Redican and her children, who were terribly alarmed, heard the work of destruction going on, but were too frightened to intervene. In fact, their only thQught was to save themselves. The man had been there only a few minutes and had just left when Constable Redican arrived searching for him. The constable found him at Mr Partridge's, in Derby Street. Norris submitted to being arrested without showing any violence, but he remarked that if his brother (the man committed on Monday) were let loose, they would both sweep the town. Later in the day Norris was medically examined and certified to be insane by Dr Harrison and Dr* Wake. He was " brought up subsequently at the Magistrate's Court tmd oonoanitted to- Porurua Asylum.

ADVICE TO MOTHERS.

Children are often troubled with worms, of which there are three* kinds — the taeaia or "tap© worm,"' aaearidee, or small "seat worm," and the teres, or "round wtfrm." They are not the cause of disease.but aimply the effect of a bad condition of the body. There is nothing more tedious or troublesome to parents, whose children are thus afuicted, and whicn, despite the use of worm cakes, candies, and powders, still infest the body. Obtain a bottle of Impey's May Apple from your chemist, and use it according to the directions there given, and you will be gratified with the result. "Worms rarely exist in a healthy child, and the use of lmpey*s May Apple makes the delicate child happy, healthy, and strong. If unable to obtain Impey*s May Apple where you lire, it will be sent post free for 2s 6d by the wholesale agents Messrs Sharland and Co., Ltd., Wellington—Sold by Mr H. Wilton, Chemist, Wanganui.
