Gentlemen —It has at all times afforded me great pleasure to take part in every work tending to develope the resources of the County of Ashburton. When recently I resigned my seat for the Upper Ashburton Riding, I felt that the most important works in the County had been successfully completed, and that it would be a relief to me, to be free for a time from a portion of my public duties. However, your requisition just re eived indicates so strong a desire on the part of the ratepayers that I should again fid a seat at the County Council, that I feel it ray duty to set aside personal considers* tions, and have much pleasure in acceding to your requeit. Yours faithfully, EDWARD G. WRIGHT. Ashburton, Bth Dec , 1883. 12 1036 LOST —A blue woollen SHAWL, be tween Ashburton Railway Station and Tinwald.

This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far auj erior to any thing yet discovered for eradiotat : ng tick, sc.b or lice on sheep, goats or cattle. It°is sufficient lo say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in two buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the most economial, as well as the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident to farm stock. By its use the firmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of jd per head per annum. In all large Sheep Districts in Austialia, South America, and Africa, no other, pre paration is used. 'J he vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purpose of the Horticulturist; and it is most extensively used by the Flower aud Kitchen Gardener in Europe, America, and the British possessions in all parts of the Globe. One packet dissolved in two buckets of water will servo for over half an acre of ground and will effectually prevent blight and exclude all other garden pes s. As a Vermin Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterminate all household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animal*, moths in furs, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the cmary to the poul try. For this purpose simple and plain direc ions are given on every packet. The powder can also be used in a dry state for the destruction of rats and mice. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those vermin, while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not touih it in any form, and are therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and Co., London, the silver medal at the .ntercolonial Exhibition at Meltourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government official and all the elite of the medical faculty in Europe. HERMAN BROS. & CO. beg to announce that they have appointed CHARLES NEATE, Chemist and Druggist, East street, their sole Agent for Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation cac bo obtained in parcels. Price— One Shilling; or six packets for Five Shillings. Liberal reduction allowed to the trade. Manufactory-BEAUMONT SQUARE, MILE END ROAD, LONDON. 8 28
