The matter was held over, Mr Baxter, the Engineer, and Mr McMillan .to go, over the land and report to the Council.

GREENSTREET RACE,

It was decided to give consent to the work in connection with the Greenstreet race if settlers were prepared to defray the cost.

HEADWORKS, RANGITATA,

The Engineer was instructed to inter view Hon W.S. Peter, with a view to obtaining his consent to plant willows on his land for protection purposes. THE NORTH AND SOUTH BRANCHES.

The report of the Engineer on the question of a permanent supply for dry seasons for the district north of Ashbur ton, was ordered to be circulated among members, and considered at next meeting. THE IRRIGATION FARM,

Mr Bro .vn moved the motion of which ■ he had given rotice to wind up the affairs of the experimental farm, near Elgin on the 31st of July. It had now been fully proved to the settlers that irrigation was a great advantage, so that the mission of the farm was fulfilled. The area was too limited, and the supply of water was too uncertain 4gr> the the farm to be carried on at a profit. Mr Wright seconded the motion. He said the farm had been carried on for four years at a cost to the County of £400, representing a very considerable portion ! of thie water rate for the Rakaia district. The farm was established to prove that grass would grow if it were watered, and it had proved that, but the experiments in that direction should now cease.

Mr Harper said the Committee would have reported upon the farm some time ago t but, for the motion, of which Mr Brown had given notice. The Committee had arranged with a tenant to feed lambs during the winter at 2£d a week, and it would be a pity to hamper the. Com mittee until all the fodder they had in hand was consumed. The farm had not been a loss of £400. but of only £200—if that muchrlt was never intended to make a profit on the farm, nor even hoped for. The land was in perhaps the poorest con dition that could have been found in the district, and its letting value was merely nominal. He was, quite sure that, if water-facilities, such as the Committee had enjoyed during their time were given to a tenant, 12s per acre rent could be ob tained. The farm ought certainly to be wound up. After some further discussion the time for,, closing- the farm was extended to 31st August,, on the motion of the Chair man, Mr Wright taking occasion to quote the exact figures of revenue and expendi ture of the farm supplied to the Council. Expenditure, £727 15s 9d ; receipts, £91 10a lld, r leaving a deficiency of £630. The" fodder on the faam was estimated at £200, leaving a deficiency of £430 SMALL BIRDS' NUISANCE

Mr Coster moved, as given notice of, " That £150 be voted for the purchase of poisoned grain." i Mr Harper seconded. Mr Brown was of opinion that poisoned grain was a failure for the destruction of small birds, and he opposed the ex penditure of any further funds in this direction. He gave a list of fully four-fifths of the Road Boards of the county from which reports adverse" to poisoned gi-aiib as a meaus of destruction had been published. The grain, it appeared to him, was not prepared in a way to attract the birds, and it yet' remained for some one to discover a better means for destroying them. He advocated the. payment of |d per head for smaD birds and the £150 proposed to be voted for grain would pay for 72,000 birds. Mr Wright did not oppose the grant of £150, but thought that Mr Brown's suggestion should be adopted, and work concurrently with poisoning. He would move to add to Air Coster's motion the Words " and that the Council pay 4|d per 100 for heads of full-grown small birds up to 31st July next." The motions were finally passed—Mr Coster's for a vote of £150 for poisoned grain, and Mr Wright's restricting any expenditure on poisoned grain before the 31st of July, and meanwhile the payment of 4|d per hundred for heads of full-grown small birds.

The Village Choir.

(Some distance after Tennyson.)

Half a bar, half a bar, Half a bar onward ! Jnto an awful ditch, Choir and Precentor hitch, Into a mess of pitch, They led tho Old Hundred. Trebles to right of them, Tenors to left of them Basses in front, of them,

BelloAved and thundered. Oh ! that Precentor's look; When the sopranos took Their own time and hook; From the Old Hundred.

Screeched all the trebles thoro, Boggled tho tenors there, Raising the parson's hiiir, While his mind wandered : Theirs not to reason why—- - This psalm was pitched too high ; Theirs but to gasp and cry— Out the Old Hundred. Trebles to right of. them, Tenors to left of them, Basses in front of them t . Bellowed arid thundered. Stormod they with shout and yell, Nob wisely they sang, nor well, Drowning the sexton's bell, - While all the church wondered.

Dire the Peccntor's glare. Flash'd his pitchfork in air, bounding frosh keys to bear

Out the Old Hundred. Swiftly ho turn'd his back, Reach'd he his hat from rack, Then from the screaming pack Himself he sundered. Tenors to right of him, Trebles to left of him, Discords behind him

Bellowed and thundered. Oil, tho wild howls they wrought; Right to tho end they fought! SqU'e tune- they sang, but not— ' "'Not the Old Hundred,

LICENSING COM MOTTEE.

ASHBURTON (SUBURBAN),

The quarterly (annual) meeting of the Ashburton (Suburban) Licensing Com mittee was held to-day. Present—Messrs D. Thomas, T. Scaly, and S. S. Chapman (Commissioners). The applications were all for renewals of license, and in the case of the Waterton Hotel for confirmation of transfer.

Mr E. G. Crisp appeared for Mr Famuel Boden Donnan of the Waterton Hotel, and pointed out that as the applicant had bought the property and stock right out and paid for it, there was every reason now that, in the applicant's own interest the house would be well conducted.

The police made no objection to any of the applications, which were all granted, although Mr Chapman opposed the Waterton license on the broad principle that the house was not wanted.

The applications were as follows:— Mark Scott, Tinwald Hotel; Peter Keller, Railway Hotel; Samuel Boden Donnan, Waterton Hotel.

STARTLING EVENT IN A VILLAGE

To the Editor of "Saturday Night,', Birmingham. I recently came into posses sion of certain facts of so remarkable a nature, that lam sure you will be giad to assist in making them public. The follow ing letters were shown to me, and lat once begged permission to copy them for the Press. They come from a highly responsible j source, and may be ■ received without ques tion, j

MESSAGE from George James Gost ling, L.D.S., R.C.S.L, Ph. C.1., Licentiate in Pharmacy and Dental Surgeon. • Stowmarket, July 18, 1889. To Mr White,

The enclosed remarkable cure should, I think, be printed and circulated in Suffolk, The statement was entirely voluntary, and is genuine in fact and detail, —G. J.G.

"To the Proprietors of MotherSeigel's Syrup." " Gentlemen. —The following remarkable cure was related to me by the husband, Mary Ann Spink, of Finborough, Suffolk, was for over twenty years afflicted with rheumatism and neuralgia, and although comparatively a young woman at the time she was attacked (she is now fifty), she was compelled, in consequence, to walk with two sticks, and even then with difficulty and pain. About a year and a half ago she was advised to try Mother Seigel's Syrup, and after taking three bottles and two boxes of SeigePs Operasing Pills, the vse of Jier limb wan j restored, and she is now able to walk three j miles to Stowmarket with ease in three quarters of an hour. Any sufferer who deubts this story can fully ascertain its truthfulness by paying a visit to the village and enquiring of the villagers, who will rcetify to the facts." "Appended is the husband's signature to the statement.

" (E, Spink),

G. S. Sostling, Ipswich Street, Stowmarket,

This is certainly a very pitiable case, and the' happy cure wrought by this simple but powerful remedy, must move the sympathy of all hearts in a common pleasure. This poor woman had been a cripple for twenty of her best years; years in which she should have had such comfort and enjoyment as lifejias to give. But, on the contrary, sbe was a miserable burden te herself and a source of care to her friends. Now, at an age when the rest of us are growing feeble, she, in a manner, renews her youth and almost begins a new existence. What a blessing and what a wonder it is ! No one who knows her, or who reads her story, but will be thankful that the good Lord has enabled men to discover a remedy capable of bringing nbont a cure that reminds us— we speak it reverently—of the age of miracles.

rE Special "Advantages offered by this Society are—lst, a large invested fund; 2nd, %he funeral donation being reassured by the National Division ; 3rd, a liberal relief during sickness, with choice of any doctor within the district for members and their families, and as large funeral donation as is consistent "with safety. The Grand Division has established a Central Sick Fund, which secures 'uni formity of fees and benefits throughout New Zealand ; allows members to move from one division to another without any increase of contributions, and affords absolute security to small or weak divisions, Benefit fob Male Members :—3?irst six months' sickness, 20s per week; second six months, 13s ; afterwards, 10s; death of a member, £30; death of a member's wife, £10. Half the above benefits are received by female members. Honorary Members of both sexes shall be entitled to the services of the physician and apothecary, providing they pass a satis factory medical examination, and recoup to the Division the amount of fees payable by it to those officers on their account. The pledge originally adopted has remained unchanged until the present time, and by it all forms ofintoxicatingdrmksare proscribed. The position the Sons and Daughters of Temperance occupy is a standing testimony of the value of Total Abstinence principles, and compares favorably with any other Friendly Society; the siekne s rate showing one-third less than that of other Societies not based on total abstinence principles; the death rate being only six per thousand in the Sons and Daughters of Temperance, as against nine per thousand, the yearly average death rate of other Societies. This Order should command the support and attention of all earnest temperance workers, as it gives uncontrovertible testi mony of the value of total abstinence to the health of the body; exerts a decided in fluence on public opinion, and provides an opportunity for total abstainers to make j provision for themselves in case of sickness, accident, or death. The Lodge meets MONDAY, 12th May, and each alternate Monday, at the Templar Hall, Ashburton, at 8 p.m. Eviry Total Abstais*:u Should Join. W. MURRAY, Sec.
