The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1887. A WANT SUPPLIED.

From a circular forwarded to us from the Immigration Office, Christchurch, we learn that a Board of Advice under j the auspices of the Government, was appointed on July 13, m connection with the Labor Exchange already m existenoe at the Immigration Office. Christchurch, with a view to extend its 1 usefulness as a medium between em ployers of labor and the working classes 1 m the Provincial District of Canterbury. As a first fruits of their labors we are informed that theßoard is strongly im • pressed with the idea that, if Farmers, ! Runholders, Mining Companies, County Councils, and other employers of labor interested themselves m employing 1 labcr as they require from time to time through means of the Exchange, the rates of wages would *,be equalised, a larger number of men would be em ployed, and the cry of the unemployed so damaging to the good name of the Colony, would to a considerable extent be stopped. We willingly respond to the appeal for our assistance, by making the fact known throughout the district, as we consider the Labor Exchange established at the suggestion of the Hon W. Reynolds a step m the right direction. How many a poor /ellow artives m Christchurch without a six pence m his pocket. He is unable to pay the fee at the private labor regis tration offices, and consequently has to tramp about seeking for work. The Government Labor Bureau or Exchange will remedy a grievous wrong often per petrated by the owners of labor offices though we certainly never heard of such a charge being even whispered against any of the Christchurch labor offices. We allude to the system of extortion which obtains or, at any rate, did obtain m one or more districts of the colony. We have heard and read of bargains being entered into between the labor office man and the applicants for work, to the effect that the latter on j getting the " billet " sought should pay the former a good round sum. If our memory serves us aright an extortion case of this kind m the North Island resulted m the suicide of the applicant, who was unable to satisfy the demands of the labor office Shylock. We trust that the employers of labor generally will avail themselves of the Labor Ex change m connection with the Immigra tion Office, and that the hopes of the Board as to the good results that will follow, will be fully realised. Forms of application for labor can be obtained at all Post Offices, and also at the Railway and Police Stations throughout the Pro vincial District, and may.be posted free of charge to tbe Immigration Officer, Christchurch,

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

♦ . - The "Gazette" notifieß the appointment of Mr J. Ward as Registrar of Electors for the district of Rangitata, of Mr J. R. Colyer as Returning Officer for Ashburton, and of that of Mr G. Jameson for Rangitata. The second of the series of Sixpenny Entertainments m St. Stephen's Sohoolroom will take place on Thursday next at 8 p m. A requisition is being extensively signed asking Sir Julius Yogel to address a public meeting m Ashburton at an early date. It is announoed that a meeting of the 1 Oddfellows will be held on July 29, when ; important business will be considered. * The 'Supreme Court at Tasmania has granted a rule nisi calling on the Rev Charles Price, Independent minister at Launceston, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for libel con tained m a letter, bearing his signature, published m the •• Examiner" of 21st June, againßt the nuns of the Launceston convent. A miner named William Radnell unearthed a splendid specimen of gold at Tarnagulla, Viotoria, on the 6th inst., on some old surface workings, where he was specking after the late rains. The nugget weighs 660z 15dwt, .and is estimated to contain 50oz of pute gold. The looality where it waa found is south of the main street on the Great Western reef. — " Evening Herald." The "Waimate Times" says: — "Very much dissatisfaction is expressed here amongst mutton growers at the way m whioh account sales are m London. We have been shown correspondence and account sales whioh fully bear out an idea abroad that the matter should be inves tigated thoroughly, and with as little delay as possible. Colonial shippers are being made victims of to a certain extent, and rigid enquiries as to the cause of these returns whioh we have seen should be instituted." The following graoeful tribute is paid by the " Otago Daily Times " to a brother journalist whom reverses have overtaken ; — "There are few men m New Zealand who have given their gratuitous services oftener for benevolent and literary objects than Mr Thomas Bracken. As amateur actor, reciter, and lecturer, he has contributed for many years past to the entertainment of his fellow citizens, and he has been the means of help ing many a worthy cause. It was a graceful aot, therefore, on the part of several old amateurs to tender Mr Braoken a farewell benefit previous to his departure from Dunedin for the North." According to a Dublin evening newspaper a breach of promise action will probably be heard shortly m Dublin, m which a parrot will ;figure prominently. An elderly profes sional gentleman engaged to a pretty young lady m her teens, was visitingjher father, and knocked at the study door. A parrot he had presented to the young lady shrieked out, " Come m," and on suddenly entering the room he found hia Jianee Beated on the sofa with a young man, who was withdrawing hit arm from her waist. The parrot meantime imitated the sound of kissing, and wound up with mooking laughter. The marriage was broken off, and to an aotion for breach ol promise the defendant pleads justification. The Payment of Members Bill came on hi its second reading m the New South Wales Legislative Council on the 12th inst., and, after an animated debate, was thrown out bj 30 votes to 9, A fishing boat came to the Auckland wharJ termed a miraculous draught of fishes, save the " Bell." In half an hour, and at one draw of the net, it had taken 160 dozen mullet— so many that, although it took but half an hour to net them, it kept the fisher man engaged for two and a-half hours to get the fish out of the.net. Two young girls were at dinner at their home m Marseilles, when they were told that a spcoial friend of theirs had died the previous night of oholera. At once they became very nervous, and left the table precipitately, ordered a oab, andj told the driver to take them as fast as possible to the town of Aix, some distance from Marseilles. When the cab got outside the oity, the coachman looked through the window to ask the address of the place to which he was to go. He saw one of the girls m convulsions and the other utterly uncon" scioua. In his turn, the driver got frightened, abandoned the oab, and ran about like a madman. When the polioe, who were sent for, arrived and opened.the oab, they found one girl dead and the other dying. A little further up the road they found the coachman lying on his face dead. Some mysterious circumstances have tran spired m connection with the reoent murdet of Mr Edward Hawkins, the manager of the Tieryboo Station, Queensland, who was found m his bed shot through the head. Mrs Granbaucr, the wife of a settler on the Con damine, states that she saw the murder of Mr Hawkins enaoted m a dream several times, and that all the circumstances are vividly fixed on her mind. She oomtnunioated with the police, and was taken to Brisbane gaol, where a number of prisoners were drawn up. She Beleoted one prisoner, and declared him to be the man whom she saw m her dreams. The prisoner Beleoted was William Clayton, who was arrested on suspicion of tha murder of Hawkins, and is now awaiting trial. On Clayton being asked, he deolarea that he had never seen the woman before, and she wai equally confident that she had never seen him except m the dream. Clayton has since been discharged, the Attorney-General deolining to file a bill.

The Eogineera reported as follows :— , River Enoroaohment : The Works Comr mitiee met and inspected iho plantation reserves whore the river has encroached, ' and gave instructions for the fences to be recovered as much as po Bible and re erected. This has been done m the lower paddooks, and the men are noar at work m Norman'n paddock. They also - in spected the protective works at the back of the Old Men's Home, and gave instruc tions to have the No. 3 groin repaired, and the No. 2, which had been washed away, to be reinstated, which work is being proceeded with. The Committee thought that with some scooping the Btream oould be diverted to the middle of the bed of the river. We have tried this, but find what little has been done to be ineffectual. We in tend, however, to take some levels and have another try. The Works Committee also authorised us to have a piie engine made at a cost of not more than £15 — Supply of Metal : Owing to the bad state of the approaches to the -river the con tractor applied to have the delivery of the remainder of the road metal postponed for a month, and after consulting the Mayor and Chairman of the Works Committee it was assented to . The report was adopted. BOARD OP HEALTH- The Committee which had bqpn ap pointed to consider the question of form ing a local Board of Health, submitted a report pointing out the various Acts which gave local bodies power to constitute them selves Boards of Health. The Committee also stated that it had caused letters to be addressed to the various Boad and Town Boards within the County, asking their co operation. The report was adopted, but action was deferred till replies had been received from all the local bodies who had been communicated with. A DANGEROUS SPOT. It was decided to call the attention of the Engineer to a defective cellar- door m West street. RIVER ENCROACHMENT. Mr B. Lancaster waited on the Council iv reference to the matter of river en croachment. He said that he had been subjeotod to a loss of £100 already, and would be put to another £130, He had been iuformed that the river oould be diverted without aff.oting the opposite Bide, and as this direralon would afford him very great relief, inasmuch as it would give him an opportunity of thoroughly protecting his lend, he asked the Council to take the matter Into consideration.— -Beferrad to Works Committee with power to aot if necessary. PAYMENTS. Accounts amounting to £63 5a lOd were passed for payment, and thej Council adjourned,

THE SUGAR BOUNTIES.

London, July 24. A deputation representing twenty six Trades Tnions waited on the Pre mier yesterday to urge that steps be taken to secure the abolition of sugar bounties. They pleaded that legitimate means consistent with freetrade should be adopted. Lord Salisbury, m reply, said the question was one of the deepest moment, and most important issues were introduced. The working men of England were naturally indignant at being made the victims of a kinci of Continental conspiracy to close trie English markets against English work men. There were two courses open to \ the Government, and a choice would be > speedily made. One was to expostulate with Continental Governments en couraging the bounties, and the othei was retaliation. A conference had already been invited, pending the result of which it would be unwise to discuss the probable action of England. He assured the deputation that whatever the result might be the Government had determined to act with dignity and eflecr.

Thousands give the most gratifying testimony. Bead this certificate : — "24th April, 1885.— Messrs Sander ana Sons, — It is with the greatest of pleasure that I testify to the excellence of your Euoalypti Extraot. Having had inflammation on the bone of the leg, which came on after a severe attack of low fever, I was attended by Dr J. Soyd, who had made strenuous efforts to save my leg, but without suooess. He then found it necessary to amputate my limb. Having heard m the moantime of the wonderful cures worked by the Euoalypti Eztraot, I obtained a bottle, and the Extraot had not been applied more than an hour when I began to feel greatly relieved. After applying the Extract every four hours for nine or ten days I was out of all danger. I would persuade all who may be affeoted with any such disease to give the Euoalypti Extraot a trial, and I am oonvinoed that they will find it the most wonderful of medicines. — Yours &0,, E. J.
