TO THE EDITOR. Referring to Mr James Brown's letter *hich appeared m your issue of August 27. What I stated at the meeting at Wakanui was absolutely correct; and I fchould recommend Mr Brown for the future to mind his own private affairs and leave his neighbors alone. Nothing further to say,—l am, etc., J. BONIFANT.

THE PENDARVES ORGAN.

TO THE KDITOB. Sib,.—-Having thought that your col umns were closed to any more ccmwpen dene© re th« Pendarves organ, we v, ere surprised to sac a letter m the Ashburton Mail of August 24, signei G. McLean. We, as a church committee, must thank him very kindly for coming forward to champion the cause of the poor organ, and as the headings of the subscription lists clearly show that the money was collected for an organ for the Pendarres church, we are happy to say that we have carried out the wishes of the contributors. But we fail to understand why he has gone to the trouble of dividing the amount, unless it is to show that we, as' Presb yterians, purchased an instrument at the expense of our Church of England friends and call it Presbyterian property. But this surely cannot be Mr McLean's idea, for he says he was treasurer, and he should have known what the money was collected for and how it was spent. Can it be that Mr Gilbert McLean has found out, since he has left the district, that he has wronged J the.people, and wishes by this first and j last letter of his to put things right and to show us how we have wronged our neighbours ? Accepting your offer, Mr Editor, we have examined the lists at your office, but we cannot think how Mr McLean could have arrived at the respective amounts, namely £7 10s Presbyterians, £8 10s other denominations. After adding them all up we can only find £14 10d on the four lists, leaving the balance of £1 19s 2d to be made up by somebody to make the £16, which he shows was col collected. But that is not all; for in stead of Presbyterians only giving £7 10s we find that they subscribed £9 18s 3d ; Wesleyans and others £2 15s Id ; Church of England £1 7s 6d, which amounts make £14 0s lOd. And we have also had to pay the balance of the £16 (namely £1 19s 2d). And that's not all, for owing to some vicious scoundrel damaging the in strument shortly after getting it, we have had to pay for repairs and a cupboard to lock it m the amount ot £5 14s, making altogether £17 Us 6d it has cost ua. It is a fact that out of the £2 15s Id given by the Wesleyans and others there is only one individual who gave 5s thai has com plained to us that he did not give his money for the object which we have put it to ; and the same with the £1 7s 6d given by the Church of England people. Now we hope the next time Mr McLean or his friend appears m print they will try and come near the truth ; it is surely toe bad that men should go out of their way to mislead the public with untruthful statements. We are prepared to meet Mr McLean and prove these figures are correct. Thanking you m anticipation, we are etc., The Pbndaeves Church Committee.

THE CHOLERA.

(PBE PRESS ASSOCIATION.) London, August 31. Cholera has appeared m Schleswig, Magdeburg, and Keustadt; also at Pilsen m Austria. Disinfectants m Germany have advanced m price 200 per cent, Business m Ham burg is at a complete standstill, and the loss to trade is estimated at several Million marks daily. Burials m Hamburg extend far into the night and the number is steadily inn-easing. In St. Petersburg numerous soldiers are.dying from cholera, and the total number of deaths m Russia since the outbreak of the disease is 150,000. It is feared that cholera may spread m London owing to the water supply, Twenty deaths occurred on board an immigrant vessel bound to New York. The disease continues unabated m Havre, and railway traffic" has been suspended. Berlin, August 31. The hospitals m Hamburg continue m a frightful condition. Patients un known are brought m and die, and their deaths are not recorded. The medical assistance is inadequate to cope with the alarming increase of cases. Two hundred bodies are lying m one hospital awaiting burial, and I four hundred are lying m the drill shed. The Government have voted 500,000 marks to assist m coping with the disease. Teheban, August 31. The cholera epidemic is decreasing m the city, and the death rate has fallen 200 daily. StDNUVi September 1. The Board of Health has issued a proclamation declaring all European iprtf infwUd,. Stringent precautions

will be taken against the introduction of cholera. Melbourne, September!. The Board of Health has proclaimed European ports cholera infected. The importation of rags from America haa been prohibited, and it is proposed to disinfect letters. (Received September 2, 10.40 a.m.) London, September 1. The chol.ra has appeared m several additional districts m Germany and Belgium. Hamburg, September 1. On "Wednesday 275 deaths were re-, ported, including B«veral hospital doc tors and nurses and many persons of the upper and middle classes. The Board of Health haa appealed for 120 I additional doctors. A injection of transfused oil and cooking salt has been found very successful m dealing with the disease. The sufferings of patients crowded into the stifling hospitals are frightful. St. Petersburg, September 1. Fifty-one deaths were recorded m this city on Wednesday. It is reported that cholem has broken out among the garrison of Warsaw. Paris, September 1. Sivty-five deaths occurred at Havr« yesterday. London, September 1. It is reported that two tourists from Hamburg have died at Islington. BBKiaN, September 1. The Emperor has abandoned his elk hunting expedition m Norway.

The following are the vital statistics for the Ashburton district the month of August: —Births, 17; deaths; 7 ; marriages, 9. [ The Ashburton Trotting Club have made an application to the Ashburton Racing Club for a trotting track inside the oth«r tracks on the Racecourse, and we under stand that the application is regarded favourably by the Racing Club. The idea of forming a trotting track at the Domain has been dropped, The Bachelors' Club, a London Institu tion, m 1891 suffered no fewer than twenty three defections m the shape of members who married; but the Club gained £575 m fines at the rate of £25 a wedding. The Club is flourishing, an<\ seems on the whole to encourage rather than deprecate matrimony as a fine art. There are still 839 bachelors on the list of members. The "Gisborne Herald" publishing the statement that during the past year butter to the value of £145,868 had been sent away from Taranaki, says that sum is about equal to the total value of the Gisborne wool export. An experienced sheep farmer re cently expressed to the editor the opinion that the whole of the Poverty Bay plain should be devoted to dairy farming. He said a change from sheep to cattle was much required, as the land had been grazed for too ldng a period by the former animal, and now wanted sweetening. If the flats were devoted to dairy purposes, the export of butter from Gisborne might equal the Taranaki output, while there would be nothing like a corres ponding decline m the export of wool and meat. There would most likely not even be a temporary decline m the outpub of the two last-mentioned items, as the settlement and improvement of the uplands are going on at a rapid rate. The Best Remedy fob Ikmokstion Norton's Camomile Pills are confidenty recommended as a simple remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all the diseases to which we are subjects, Norton's Pills, with justice called the 'Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach," acfc as a powerful tonic and gentlw perient, are mild m their operation, and safe under any circumstances.
