At the Mutual Improvement Society last night the members exercised themselves in extempore speaking, when several important and interesting subjects were brought forward and dealt with in a creditable manner. A girl in Kentucky has recovered £lOO damages from a steamboat company for naming a boat after her without asking her permission, and they must rename the boat. She took offence at a marine item stating that “ Kittie Marshal took the lower chute and ran her nose into a plantation," In connection with the early closin’ of hotels the following dialogue was overheard in one town in which early closing was enforced ; “ I say, Jim, will the Gentlemen’s Club be closed?” “No, my boy !” ‘‘Then be jabers I’ll open a Gentlemen's Club myself at seven o’clock tc-morrow morning I” We have received a circular calling attention to the latest development of tbe social wing of the Salvation Army. Tbe Central Office was opened on June Ist, at 48 Manchester street, Christchurch, and comprises three offices, where fjles of newspapers are kept, also writing materials, and accommodation for employers and workers to meet for the purpose of completing engagements. Officers have been appointed to the special charge of the Labor Department, and it is intended to open branches in Dunedin, Wellington, Auckland, and Greymouth. Every officer is an agent, and correspondents are also to be appointed in every town in tbe colony, General Booth’s recent visit to Scotland nearly " promoted him to glory." He was in a prostrate condition, and it was the remark of some critical person that he was done for, that roused him up, and set him on the way to get well. He thought he could not afford to die yet.

Body-Snatching. TORN FROM THE GRAVE. An Extraordinary Case has lately come under our notice. It appears that Mr H. A, Crane, who travels over this and the adjacent colonies in the interests of qne of the largest importing firms in this city, and therefore is a well-known man all over the colonies, has lately been in indifferent health. He has suffered from a severe shaking at the Windsor Railway Smash, and had teen under the treatment of the best physicians in Melbourne and Sydney. The most troublesome sytnpsom was Neuralgia, which was excruciatingly painful: he had been a sufferer from this complaint en and off for years, but since the accident he had Buffered ten times worse than ever. He con? suited physician after physician without benefit; they told him amongst them, he had every oomplaint from atrophy of the liver to heart disease, His case was so remarkable that we give his own version of it in his own words, considering that he has had a miraculous escape from acute suffering, if not from an untimely grave. He says For the last seven years I have been a victim to ths most excruciating agony from neuralgia, and also saft'orod from extreme nervousness. I tried hundreds of so-called specifics, but without avail, and, being a commercial traveller, am particularly liable to colds from exposure to draughts, &c.; A slight one even always fled to my facial nerves, and caused acute neuralgic pains, preventing sleep, and causing excessive sympathetic headache. I saw CLEMENTS' TONIC advertised, procured a bottle, and In two days the pain was completely oured, a consummation I hnj never expected, end am deeply thankful for sama. This was four months ago. and from then till now I have never had the slightest twinge of the excruciating torture I used to have. You may make what use of this you like, Yours gratefully, henry a. crane. We also received similar letters from T. Garrett, Esq , M.P., who says “He has found Clements Tonic a great aid to appetite and digestion," and from Mrs Whalley, who was quite worn out, tired, weak and unable to move. She took seven bottles of Clements Toxic, and now can oat, work, and sleep, and is stronger than over before,
