From Our Own Correspondent

It is very many years sinco such a large quantity of healthy looking crop has been Been m this district. The late heavy rain, which amounted to 3.96 inches, has set up things for some weeks to come, and everything at present indicates a, good harvest. Shearing is going on all around, bnt I am sorry to heur thar the cold rain has "caused come loss among the ewes , particu larly among those shorn last Friday. At a special meeting of theSchool Committee there were present — Mr Scarlett (Chairman), and M*>s rs lionside, Strinyfellow, Copland, and J. Stewart. It was agreed that the Inspector's report be considered satisfactory, and the secretary was instructed to write master and mistress to that effect A letter to the Board concerning the late report on the school was drafted and ordered to be sent to the Eoarc?. It was decided to write again concerning the school - house tank, which had not arrived. All arrangements concerning the annual echool treat to be held m the school grounds on Thursday, November 24, were completed.

These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resine and tennates.
