The conference of Ministers of Agriculture was conducted m private. The resolutions are to be reserved for consideration of the various Govern ments.

CORRESPONDENCE

(We do not hold ourselves responsible for the Opinions raptessed by our correspondent*)

TO THE EDITOR,

Sir,— The Temuka Leadtr says Mr Maslin, M.H.R., for Rangitata has certainly made the most damaging speech delivered this year. Could a loyal supporter of the Government do this ? We are on the eve of a general election ; Mr Maslin will again stand before the electors very soon. How can he- ask people to vote for him while professing to support a Ministry whom he bo utterly condemns ? We do not know. Mr A/*aslin is playing a very peculiar game, and we shall Eec how he will work it out. At any rate, he has pleased nobody. The Con servative papers have only ridiculed him, and as for true Liberals they can only look on him with contempt. Does this not look like

The Barque Coromandel

Wistjort, May 1

The ill-luck that has pursued the barque Coromandel from the day of her arrival m these waters oulminated yesterday morning m the death by drowning of J ohn Vitaglioh , aged about nineteen. The young fellow had been for some moDths acing for his father, who is ill, on the harbour staff. When the barque was sailing be went off to her m a boat with some charts for Captain Bendsll, and fastened the boat alongside the vessel with the object of bringing the Harbourmaster, Gaptain Leech, who was aboard the barque, ashore, when the mouth of the river was reached. In the river, half a a mile from the bar, the boat seems to have been swamped, and Vitaglich was thrown into the water. The accident was Been from the tug, and the crew raised an alarm, which attracted the attention of those aboard the barque. Those on the toe saw the lad clinging to an oar. When Captain Leeoh looked over the side of the ■hip the boat was fall of water, but nothing could be seen of Vitaglich. The b&tque and tug were then m a critical place, and It seems that nothing could be d«ne, but it. was hoped that the lad would ■wim ashore After the Mana completed the tow the boat was taken aboard, when the oars and bottom boards were missing. Nothing was known of the accident m town until the tug returned at three o'olrck. The body has not been reoovered.

The inquiry into the stranding of the barque Coromandel concluded to-day, after .a hearing of nearly seven days. The Court found that Captain Nolan, of the tug, was to blame for not getting proper way on the vessel after leaving the wharf, and for slacking the tow-line afc a critical moment ; that Captain Leech, harbour master, was to blame for the immediate stranding of the vessel by (giving a wrong order to port the helm instead of star board ; that the Harbour Board were to blame for providing the tug with an in efficient crew, and for taking Captain Leech off the stranded vessel to attend a meeting at a time when his services were most required, thus preventing the tug going to the assistance of the vessel at the appointed time. The costs of the Inquiry, amounting to £90 17s, were apportioned as follows : — Captain Leech, £45 8s 6d; Captain Nolan £22 14s 3d; Harbour Board, £22 14s 3d. All certiE cates were returned.

In consequence of the findings of the Ooart, Captain Leech this afternoon ten dered his resignation as harbour master after thirty years' service.

The Court expressly stated that the harbour was m no way to blame for the stranding of the Coromandel, which was solely due to bungling.

Acclimatisation Society.

The following is a precis of the tenth annual report of the Committee of the Ashburton Acclimatisation Society, to be submitted to the annual meeting of mem bers : — During the year the expenditure exceeded the income by £4, aa against a deficiency <t»f £19 19s 6d last year, but £12 10a that should have been included m last year's accounts had been paid to the late ranger, so that there was really a surplus of £8 10j. The chief item of expenditure was £59 133--ranger'3 wages. The income is derived from sale of licenses, which this year numbered 83, and realised £65 103, against 89 last year, realising £64 12s 6d. The balance m hand this year is £51 Is Bd, as against £54 12a 6d last year. The balance this year would have been £66 6s Bd, if £16 5s paid to the ranger's widow had been charged, as it ought to be, to last year's accounts. The season had not been favorable, and many anglers had either left ths district or re frained from licensing, but notwithstanding the revenue from licenses continues to increase, as ehown above. The licenses this year were as under — Men's annual licenses, 50 ; boys, 13 ; ladies, 1 : men's half licenses, 10 ; boys, 5 ; ladies, 2 ; perch licenses, 2— total, S3. Last year ten perch licenses were sold. The members' list this year shows 17 fresh names of men, and 9 of boys. The report pays a compliment to the ranger, and then goes on to refer to a promise obtained from Government that at the next s&le of grazing rights, access over the reserve on the Rangitata river will be retained for anglers/ and three reserves of 30 acres each set aside as camping grounds. The County Council has also promised a camping ground of ten acres on reserve 99, fronting the lagoon, on condition that the Sooiety fence it. The oost of fencing is estimated at about £5. Thanks are due to Hon Mojor Steward for assistance given m securing the reserves. Owing to floods and snow water fishing this year was not as good as m previous years, and few fish were taken over lOlbs, bub fish from §lb to 1 Jib were plenti ful* Fly fishing m the Ashburton this season was not successful, but the worm and grub took many fish m the thick water. The Rakaia and Rangitata were only fishable for a short time, and did not yield large bags. Shags are still numerous, and during the season 21 heads were paid for, and last year 34. Sportsmen are urged to destroy all of these birds they can, as the shag is most destructive on the rivers. The opinion of members is asked on the advisabl* ness of the anglers of the district holding a s-cial or supper on some date this wine;'.

A CASE OF NERVOUS PROS TRATION RESULTING FROM INDIGESTION

They say that misory loves company, and they have had it so often it has passed into a proverb. Yes it isn't an all-round truth, Some kinds of misery detest company. They wanb to be left alone. They hate to be elbowed and questioned and talked to. A wounded dog will always crawl into some retired place by itself. The instinct of badly injured men, after a battle is the same. Ailments that are mostly fancy, tend to set tongues wagging Bnt real, genuine and dangerous diseases don't incite to speech. Crises which are big with fate usually come and go m quiet. That is why Mrs Scuffham had no desire for the society of even her best friends at a certain time she is going to tell u« about.

'Up to April, 1881, ' t she writes, 'I never knew what it was to be ill. At that time I began to feel that something was amiss with me, I had no relish for my meals, and after eatiug ny chest felt heavy and painful, and my heart would beat and thump as though it meant to leap out of its place. Presently I became so swollen round the waist that I was obliged to unloose my c'othing, as I could not bear anything to touch that part of my body. ' Even the lightest food gave me pain ; a little fish setting my heart to beating at a great rate. My feet were cold, and cold, clammy sweats would break out all over dip, leaving me exhausted and worn out. At night I gob no sleep to speak of, and m the morning I felt more tired than when I went to bed* I also suffered a great deal from my feet being puffed up and sore. I could Bcarcoly geb about fahe house. When I went shopping I had to ride to the town and back, as I could only walk a few yards.

'Aa time went on I lost flesh and strength more and more, and gave up hope of ever recovering the precious health I had so sadly lost. 1 took medicines, and con sulted a clever doctor at Derby who ex amined me and said my heart was weak fle also gave me medicines, but I got only temporary ease from them, and m a short time was as bad as before. All this time I was so nervous and depressed that I had no desire for company. On the contrary I seemed to want to be alone with my misery. Even a knock at the door frightened me, as though I expected bad news, yet I did not really. My nerves and fancies ran away with my knowledge. and judgment. Thou sands of women who have suffered m this way will understand what I mean. * Year after year I remained m this con dition, and what I went through I cannot put m words, nor do I wish to try. It will answer the purpose to say that 1 existed thus for eleven and a half yeara, as mach dead as alive. I spent pounds on pounds m physic, bub wai nob a whit the better for any of it. <In October, 1892, a book was left at our house, and 1 read m it of cases like mine being cured by Mother Seigel'a Syrup. I got a bottle from Mr Bardel, the chemist m Normanton Street, Darby, and when I had taken this medicine for a few days, my appetite was better and I had less pain. I kept on taking it, and soon my food agreed with me and I gained strength. * After this I never looked behind me, but steadily got stronger and stronger. When I had taken three bottles I was quit* like a new woman. All the nervousness had left me; and my heart was sound as a bell. Since then I have enjoyed good health, and all who know me say my recovery is remark able. I am confident that Mother Seigel's Syrup was the means, m the hand" of Provi dence, of saving my life ; and out of gratitude and m hope of doing good, 1 freely conaenb to the publication of this statement. (Signed) (Mrs) Ann Scuffham, Cooper's Lane, Laceby, Grimsby, May Ist, 1895. This letter is endorsed by Mr William J, Tollerton, of the same town, who vouches for the truth of what Mrs Scuffham has said as he personally knew of the circumstances of her illness at the time they occurred. No comment can add a jot to the force of this open, candid, and sincere communication. Whosoever reads it must needs be moved and convinced by it. The disease which filled this woman's life with pain and misery for nearly twelve years was indigestion or dyspepsia, an ailment sly and ounning as a snake m the grass -and as dangerons. Send for the book of which Mrs Scuffham speaks, and read the symptoms m order that you may know what it i>, and how to deal with it. The book costs you nothing, yet it would be worth buying as if every leaf were hammered gold.

THE ASHBURTOJN GtJARDIAK : KAiORDAi, MAt 2, i«?-66.



Business Notices 'Ihe Portable Swing "Water BaffoW. . Prevention is Better Than Cure rp BE few cases of Typhoid m Ashbnrton Borough and Snbnrbs afford no .v * g ro J und J for a " scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the "Nineteenth Century* of list year, m which special reference is m»de to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. Ihe writer remarks, that the litest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the chilorrn m fome villages ; and m Prussia, ho less than one-sixth to one-fourth part of ail children dying m the age of from one to five jears euc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being Uken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Ronx and Tersen ; bnt Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rieing from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. Ihe Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The.fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the was h to pig trough or to- the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to various kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child caw do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The coßt is comparatively small, of one becomes an|absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit.
