A deputation comprising Bishop Neville end several clerical and lay representa tives of the Anglican Synod waited on the Premier to day, to bring under his notice a resolution of the Synod, asking that the Education Act be so amended that pro vision may be made for religious instruc tion during school hours by clergymen or persons duly authorised. The Hon Mr Stout said there were two difficulties in the way of carrying out the proposal. He did not think if the syllabus were re stricted, as he hoped it would be, they could afford vo trench on the five hours, and he did not see how the details could be managed. Personally he had no ob jection, but he did not see how the time table could be arranged. He would bring the matter before the Cabinet, and the fullest consideration would be given to it. Skye Crofters. Another deputation from the Caledon ian Society, introduced by Mr Macin drew, waited on Mr Stout to urge that the Government should take immediate steps to enable the Scottish crofters to emigrate to New Zealand. Mr Macan drew pointed out that there need be no fear that these people would interfere with the labour markets. He believed if the Imperial Government could be in duced to give a sum of money by way of loan towards their emigration from Scot land, a very large influx to this country might be the result. Mr Fish referred to the desirability of sending some one Home not only to interview the crofters, but the Home Government. The Hon. R. Stout promised to inquire into the matter, He quite agreed that some per son in whom confidence could be reposed, should be sent Home to look after the whole scheme. Things would then be ar ranged far more satisfactorily than by correspondence.

AGENT, ASHBURTON. 24 T HE WONDER OP THE WORLD. Herman’s WORLD-RENOWNED SHEEP WASH AND CELEBRATED VERMIN DESTROYER.



Thla preparation Is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradicating tick, scab or lice on sheep, goats or cattle. It is sufficient to 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 farmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of Jd per head per annum. In al large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pre paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purpt, of the Horticulturist; and it Is most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener n Europe, America, and the British possessions in all parts of the Globe. One packet dissolved in two buckets of water will serve for over half an acre of ground and will effectually prevent blight and exclude all other garden pests. As a Vermin Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterminate all household peats, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in furs, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simpl and plain directions are given on every packet. The powder can also be used in e 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 touch it in any form, and fl£ } therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and 00., London, the silver medal at the .ntercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government officia and all the elite of the medidal faculty in Europe. HERMAN BROS. & CO. beg to announce that they have appointed CHARLES NEATB, Chemist and Druggist, East street, their sole Agent foe Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation can be obtained in parcels.
