A high compliment is also paid to the proprietor’s energy and enterprise, a 
sentiment we feel sure will be endorsed by Air. Kennedy’s many friends. 
We hare received a copy of Ingham’s Central Queensland Almanac for 1886. It 
is compiled by Mr. Thomas Ingham, Pharmaceutical Chemist of Rockhampton, and 
contains a very large amount of useful information in its 130 pages of closely- 
printed matter. Air. Ingham’s name is well known throughout Australasia in 
connection with his preparation of euphorbia pilulifera, the Queensland cure for 
asthma and bronchitis. 
Me. W. Sheppebson, of the firm of Burroughs, Wellcome and Co., London, 
desires to inform his many friends in the colonies that he has safely arrived at 
Calcutta after a pleasant run from Australia. The only part of the journey 
that was very hot and uncomfortable was about five days before reaching 
Ceylon, and an unfortunate three weeks’ detention in Colombo, on account of the 
Calcutta ship Khedive having broken her shaft, and being detained an extra 
eight days at Suez. Lnder the most favourable circumstances passengers from 
Australia for Calcutta have to wait ten days at .Colombo. This ought to be 
arranged differently if possible. Air. Shepperson expects to reach London, vis, 
Bombay, at the beginning of April next. 
Mb. .J . Heale, chemist, of Ballarat, was sued at the Prahran Police Court 
on the 28th January by W. G-odfrey, furniture dealer, for £5 12s. 8d., being the 
alleged balance due for the hire of furniture. The sum of £17 had been paid 
off a total amount of £27, when the defendant, being about to remove t© 
Ballarat, returned goods for which he had been charged £15. This, the 
defendant alleged, closed the whole account ; but the complainant stated that 
the goods were returned on the understanding that he was to value them and 
place whatever amount he thought fit to defendant’s credit. One witness valued 
them at £3 os. The bench gave credence to the defendant’s version, and made 
an order in his favour with five guineas costs.
