Square should become thickly populated, and such open spots absolute necessities. Be naturally supposed that some people were anxious to erect grain stores on this ■ite, and would do everything in their power to get them. , The Mayor denied that he was actuated by any selfish or interested motive. Cr St. Hill had made up his mind to oppose this thing, and oppose it he would, whether it was right or wrong. Cr St. Hill was proceeding to use further objections, when his Worship asked him to confine himself strictly tp the point. . Cr St. Hill said he was doing so. He would speak, for he was put there by the ratepayers to do so, and would say what he had to say if he stopped all night. After some further stormy discussion, the motion was carried, Crs St. Hill and Harrison alone dissenting. DOWNES’ KATES. Or Bullock said that he was not present at last meeting, and he would like to say a few words in explanation of Mr Downes’ letter read.at last meeting re rates. He (Cr Bullock) had never paid any rates on the section, but this was purely a per sonal matter between himself and Mr Downes, and he would have no objection on this occasion to pay tne rates com plained of. VALUER and tenders. It was resolved that a vainer be ap pointed at next meeting, and that tenders be called for dog collars, half-yearly balance-sheet. The balance-sheet for the half-year was read and adopted. GAS. The Town Clerk stated that the Cor poration’s contract with the Gas Com pany had now expired. NOTICE OF MOTION. Cr St. Hill gave notice of motion, for consideration at next meeting as follows^: .—“ That in view of reducing the expendi ture in the Borough, this Council ascer tain the cost of lighting the town with kerosene, and also cost of lamps for same. engineers’ repout. The Engineers reported as follows: The Labor Gang have been engaged in re forming Havelock street West and filling up low places in Park street. Portions of Wills street West require some filling, and we consider it most advisable to take the soil from where the men are now working, both on account of its being the nearest point for obtaining the stuff and in order to avoid carting over new-made ground. Several bridges and culverts have been made and fixed, door fixed at immigration cottages, and other matters of detail attended to. There is nothing calling for particular comment. INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES’ REPORT. The Inspector of N uisances reported as follows: —Be Closets.—l have no com plaints to report, and those closets men tioned in my last report as requiring new pans are mostly all supplied with them, those that are not are to have them by to morrow evening, when Ibell will put them in on his rounds. Be Slops and other Refuse Matter. —There is no accumulation of refuse matter since my last report. I have had one or two complaints of dead poultry lying about on some of the unoc cupied sections, and have attended to them and had the nuisance removed. Also have inspected the river-bed from time to time, and find that Ibell continues to bury the refuse satisfactorily. ACCOUNTS. Accounts amounting to LSO 2s 2d were passed for payment and the Council ad journed.

A DISCLAIMER.

To the Editor.

Sir, —Having been informed that Mr Ivess and others impute to me the author ship of a letter appearing in your issue of Saturday last, reflecting on Mr St. Hill’s action as an Orangeman in connection with the Wakanui election, I beg to em phatically deny that I am either the author or in any way connected with the same. 1 am astonished at Mr Ivess endeavoring to connect me with it, since he made it a special point to personally see me some days ago, and ascertain my views of mixing up religious questions with politics, which I plainly told him I never should do either myself or in any way countenance. Further, lam in clined to think Mr Ivess must have a desire to still fix the authorship on me, since he has declined to insert the dis claimer in his paper. lam extremely sorry that the religious question has been allowed to crop up, as it can really do no good ; and though lam far from being a supporter of Mr Ivess, still I think the electors as a body have perception enough to see who is the best man, without trenchi ig on the religious question.—l am, &c., S. E. Poyntz.

MR TAYLOR’S CORDIALS.

To the Editor.

Sir, —In reply to Mr T. Taylor’s letter, which appeared in your paper on Satur day evening, the Agricultural and Pas toral Association did not offer any prize for cordials, so the judges did not think it necessary, beyond giving a highly commended, to make any other award. It is generally understood that articles shown under the heading of “ extra ex hibits ” are sent to the Show merely for the purpose .of advertising them.—l am, &c., Geo. Jameson, Sec. A. and P Association. Ashburton, Oct. 31, 1881.

Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.— Outward Infirmities. —Before the discovery o these remedies many case of sores, ulcers, &c., were pronounced to be hopelessly incurable, because the treatment pursued tended to de stroy the strength it was incompetent to preserve, and to exasperate the symptoms it was inadequate to remove. Holloway’s Pills exert the most wholesome powers over the un healthy flesh or skin, without debarring the patient from fresh air and exercise, and thus the constitutional vigor is husbanded while the most malignant ulcers, abscesses, and skin diseases are in process of cure. Both Oint ment and Pills make the blood richer and ptuer, instead of permitting it to fall into that poor and watery state so fatal to many aboring under chronic ulcerations.—[Advt.]

THE PATENT OVAL SAMSON FENCE WIRE Has now been before the public for four years, and during that time 5,000 TONS HAVE BEEN SOLD Giving very great satisfaction, in proof of which we hold numerous testimonials from well-known colonists ; and the demand is daily increasing to such an extent, that numerous spurious imitations have lately been introduced in the various markets of Australia and New Zealand, for the sole purpose of damaging the reputation of the Patent Oval Samson Wire. The Samson Wire By using the Patent Oval Fence Wire you get a better and cheaper fence than any other, and the best proofs are the imitations already referred to. rt&'A comprehensive circular as to its advantages, with numerous testimonials irom well-known colonists, will be posteC to any address on applicatiou.

Yet, in the face of these patents, firms—many of respecaltry standing—have, for the sake of a paltry commission, lent themselves to the intro duction of various spurious imitations, which render them liable to actions at law, and annoyance and disappointment to the users. We would point out to intending pur chasers that any person erecting Oval Wire Fences, other than the Patent Oval Sam son, renders himself liable for damages. The Patent Acts on this point are very explicit; therefore, after this notice r excuse can be made. We have had instances brought under our notice where some per sonshave been so un principled as to mix the Spurious Oval Wire amongst the Patent Oval Samson in order to make a, sale, and damage the the reputation of the genuine article.

ALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HAIR. 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. 6d. 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 preparation 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 oven white linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read the follow- , ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, j Walkden ; “One of my customers told i me the Other day he had had grey hair 1 for thirty-five years, and after using one ! bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer 1 ' sold him, it Was restored to. and kept its * natural color.” It may be had of any • respectable CherhiSt; Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet art-'cles in the kingdom, at 3s. 6d. per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY 0. !
