Hinds school Picule

The picnic which has been given annually for a long time to the pupils who attend the Hinds school, their pxrents and friends, was held on Thursday. Waggons, buggies, and every conceivable variety of conveyance as sembled early m the morning, aud took a very large p«rfcy to the N beach, where a paddock, the f -iendiy shade of a plantation, and orher conveniences were kindiy placed at the disposal of the visitors by Mr John Wrhe'l Aftw sp-nd ng a timo on the Ivsaeh enjoying the brit-y, lunch w.ia served under tne shade of the trees. Races for ech'K.l chiidron were 'h'-n run. and toe pnz b dn'y "warded. The married women's race or h.*so U bag of flour brought out a good fieH of nth'eies who k—nly conte&ted tii« race, which was won by M; p Ptget jur. A strong protest against the handio-tppiug vro* lo Jgei by a lady, i»nd much forensic uhi iry displayed 5n arguing »be pro* and cms of the race, the pnzd for winch w*s n the end awarded to its or ginal winner. The married men'e r>ce wtw well contested, won by Mr Williun Allen Races for maidens, and for bachelors were also run. Refreshments were again served, and the large pwrfcy made a start for the Hinds Bchool about six o'clock. ARsembled there, the general prizes, and those given for sewing were distributed, the former by the Chairman of the School Committee, the latter by Mra Miller. The Chairman m ad dressing the meeting remarked upon the necessity for regular attendance at school, and said that it was unfair to the State, to the parents themselves, to the pupils, and to the teachers that pupils should attend irregularly, and showed how injurious to the future welfare of the boys and girls such irregularity was sure to prove. The prizes were then handed to the recipients, who were much pleased with their handsome presents. Prominent of those who generously helped towards the success of the picnic, Mrs Holmes Bpared neither time, trouble, nor expense, and she was well seconded by Me^damee Porter and Mdler. Contribu tions either of money, fruit or confeotionery were received from Mrs Btudholme, and from Messrs Buckley and Wright. Hearty cheers wero given before separating for those who had contributed m any way to. the success of the picnic, for Mr and Mrs Withell for placing their grounds at the dis posal of the visitors, for the Committee, Mrs Miller, the teachera, and In the end for all and sundry.

MAGGOTS ON SHEEP.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— l was surprised, on reading your article m Thursday's paper on the fly m sheep, that the subject had not come under your notice before, as lam sure that most people who have ho.fl the care of sheep must have noticed the effects of the fly any time , during the paßt, ten years m the months of February and March. 1 have only seen it on lambs when scouring, ami lost several last year myself, being busy harvesting, and noc seeing them for a few days. Ido not think there is any cause for alarm, as it only attacks lambs that are weak from scour, and of course dirty. I genera'ly keep a solution of Little's dip m a bottle m the paddock, and when I see the wool on the hind quarters wet, and the pheep wagging its tail and twitching, I catch it and clip the wool off the affected parts, rob out the maggots, t and pour on the clip, rubbing it well m withrfche m.a r n. I have, m addition to the common blow-fly, seen a smaller one on affected sheep, blue m color and much like the maggot-fly, thit catiaes so much trouble and loss m England, — I am, etc., Farmer, Mayfield.

In order that these crude 1 oils may not bo taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE Eucalypti Extract, whiob is recosmlsed by the modical division of ihe Prussian Government to be of per- fectly pure origin, as their information forwarded to as throng-*., the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878 we state • - Is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities &t Bonn and Qriefswalri, Prussia, and eported by Dt Schulz, Professor of Pamwcology. at Bon, biid Professor Dr Moeler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that ■ure saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, reeinota »nd other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develops the sanative quulitles proper to the plant according to these authorities, and according to Pro- fessor Dr Lister of England, and to Drs Bauer Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific tests, and the only on which possesses the proper therapeutic value.

Why does my back ache ; my food cause distress? Why have I frequent head- aches ; and difficulty to secure rest at night? Why do I lose fießh, or pass fine sand or gravel Because your blood is filled with uric acid poisoD, which must be eradicated before you can regain health. Your liver is too weak — run down, enervated, and torpid — to properly excrete the bile which accumu- lates and poisons the blood, the system, and the kidneys—these greatest blood-purifying organs are failing to perform their normal functions. This is " Why '» Werner's Safe Cure quickly restores health. It quickens and invigorates the liver to a healthy action. Tens of thousands have witnessed to this fact. Be wise. Frederick the Great said, " Facts are Divine things It is only the foolish who doubt facts." Mr R Bell, of Brisbane, says : " For years I have been, suffering from liver complaint and its const quences, which I may say has almost entirely disappeared after a course of treat- ment with Warner's Safe Cure and Safe Pills. In my opinion, anyone who gives it a fair trial will find relief when suffering from any form of kidney or liver complaint." By By F P ECI AL J^H&lsilSwV.

Purifies, Vitalizes, Enriches the Bloodj Gives New Life, Health and Vigour. Mr. Alfred C. Jolliffe, of Granville, So. Australia, whose portrait we give above, writes: "I used Ayer's Sarsaparilla m England for years before coming to Australia. At times I was much troubled with boils and other . eruptions of tins skin, caused, the doctors told me, by the running down of nfrjr system and general debility. The only medicine that has ever done me lasting good is Ayer's Sarsaparilla, wliich has always cured me — purifying my blood, and giving ms new life and health and vigour." The wonderful success of Ayer's Sarsaparilla m purifying the blood and restoring health .and strength to systems enfeebled by disease, or the enervat- ing elfecfc of a warm climate, has led to the placing on the market of other propagations cnlled Sarsaparilla. Eemeinber that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and be sure that you get AVER'S SARSAPARILLA which has stood the test of time, has won the highest awards at the world's great expositions, and has been a blessing to the people of Australia, and al 1 civilized countries, for more than a generation. No other medicine operates so effectually m removing general debility, languor, and all outward symp- toms of tho grave mischief caused by disordered nerves and impure blood.
