WESLEYAN QUARTERLY MEET ING.

; The usual quarterly meeting of office bearers of the Ashburton Wesleyan circuit was held last night in the vestry of- the Cameron street church. There was a very good attendance both of town and country members, and the Rev. W. Xeall presided. A deputation from the congregation at Waterton was present, and a statement made concerning the services which had been held at that place during the last quarter. The report of the deputation was considered very en couraging, and it was decided that in future Waterton should appear on the preachers’ plan, and service be con ducted there every Sunday. Mr Thomas Moses was unanimously elected Society Steward at Waterton. Mr H. M. Jones succeeded Mr John Orr as Senior Circuit Steward, the latter gentleman’s term of office having expired through effluxion of time. The meeting accorded Mr Orr a very hearty vote of thanks for the very valuable services he had nndered the church while occupying the position of Circuit Steward, and general regret was manifested at his desire not to be re elected. Mr Chas. Dixon was appointed Junior Circuit Steward, and Mr J. E. Buchanan elected as lay representative to the annual Conference to be held at Christchurch early in January. The balance-sheet, as presented to the meeting, Showed an income for the quarter of L 144 2s 3d, which included a grant of LSO from the Home Mission fund ; the expenditure being Xilso 2s Bd. Of the latter amount Ll 5 17s 7d had been forwarded to the Home Mission Treasurer, L 45 had been allocated to the trust fund of the church, atfid: a debit balance of L 22 Is 4d, carried forward from last quarter, helped to swell the item of disbursements. A debit balance of L 6 Os 5d was carried forward. The . Secretary of the Sunday school reported that the school was working well, and gave the following statistics ;—No. of scholars on the roll, 141; average atten dance, 99 ; teachers and office-bearers, 16; average attendance of latter, 13. Con siderable discussion took place in connec tion with the conveyance of local preachers to their appointments, and subsequently the matter was left in the hands of the Circuit Stewards and Mr H. Crisp to make the best arrangements possible. Other matters of more or less interest were gone into by the meeting, and after deciding to hold the usual watch-night service on New Year’s Eve, and a deputation being appointed to visit Allenton with the view of instituting religious services in that neighborhood, the proceedings terminated at rather a late hour.

COOKSON’S NEW STABLES.

,We inspected the plans of the new stables shortly to be erected for Mr E. Cookson, on the site of the buildings recently destroyed by fire, this morning. If the new premises only look half as well in brick and stone as they do on paper, they will make a handsome addition to the buildings of the place ; and the plans certainly reflect great credit on the architect, Mr J. C. Maddison, of Christ church. The new stable will be of sub stantial brick and stone, with a semi circular roof of iron. The building will be about 87ft long by 50ft wide, ~nd 35ft high. The front elevation, as shown on the plan, is very tasteful, the stone facings giving the building a neat appear ance, and relieving altogether the heavi ness of the brick. The central entrance gate will be 14ft high by 12ft wide, and will be flanked on either side by a large window. Immediately over the central gate will be a circular window on either side of which again will be a fan-shaped window. The stable will be lighted by a large sky-light on the roof, and by a large square window at the rear. Inside, the arrangements are very complete. A com modious loft will run all round the interior, about Bft high by 12ft wide. In addition to offices, saddle, and store or feed rooms, there will be sixteen stalls and four loose boxes, while the passage running up the centre of the building will be 28ft across, from stall-post to stall-post. The ventilation will he very perfect, and in - fact every detail has been carefully considered. The rear wall will be of iron, and so constructed that the building can be easily extended if necessary at any time. The estimated cost is LI,OOO, and tenders are called for the work, particulars of wjiich appear in another column. The ndw stable will (approximately) be finished about February next, and we trust that Mr Cookson may nrosper in his handsome new premises.

ALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HATH. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. Gd. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which, most of the hair preparations of the day do. This prepare tion has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read the follow- ( ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, ] Walkden : “ One of my customers told , me the other day he had had grey hair i for thirty-five years, and after using one i bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer 1 \ sold him, it was restored to and kept its t natural color.” It may he had of any ' respectable Chemist, Perfumer, qr Dealer j in toilet articles.in tbe kingdqm, at 3b. 6dJ ’ per bottle. —Prepared' by HENRY'©.'

ENO’S FRUIT SALT.— From the Rev. Dr Hurst, Vicar of Collorly:—“I have nsed your Fruit Salt for many years, and have verified your statements. The thanks of the public are due to you for your unceasing efforts to relieve suffering humanity. Long may you live to be a blessing to the world.” ENO’S FRUIT SALT.—"After suffering for nearly two and a half years from severe headache and disordered stomach, and after trying almost everything and spending much money without finding any benefit, I was recommended by a friend to try ENO S FRUIT SALT, and before I had finish <1 one bottle I found it doing me a great deal of good, and now I am restored to my usual health; and others I know that have tried it have not enjoyed such good health for years.—Yours most truly, Robert Humphreys, Post Office, Barrasford.’
