ROAD BOARD.

South llakaia.

The usual monthly meeting of the South Rakaia Road Board was held on Thursday. Present — Measra Lambie (chairman), Copland, Harrison, and Morland. An apology was received for the absence of Mr Holmes. RATES. Mr W. Wilkinson waited on the Board and suggested that some 16,000 acres of the couth-west portion of the district should be out off and no rates struck, as the expendi ture m that part of the district had been very inconsiderable. Taking into account the amount of land fund received aad the rates collected therefrom, he thought there ahould be a considerable autn to the oredib of that portion of the dißtriofc. The Clerk submitted a list showing the expenditure and receipts for the area m question for the past four years, showing that) whilst £24? 9s lid had been received m rates, £306 15s 8d had been spent m various works. This allowed nothing far a share of expenses or for the destruction of small birds. After discussing the matter the Chairman Btated that it was jaat a& well to bring such mattera forward. No doubt* mistakes had been made m the p.i- 1 Iju; >i.i.c hud been no scramble for the fund , and the greatest expenditure must be on roads where there was most traffic. The roada were public, «nd anyone was at liberty to use them. The use of toll gates was now abolished. Mr WJlkinßon said he scarcely felt satisfied yet, and thanked the Board and retired. BBPAIBS. It was decided* to repair the well m the Tillage settlement, and to put down a new Bump on the cross road near Mrs McCoy's. TBS DEB APPROVED. The action of Mr Morland m accepting the tender of B. Hudner for gorae cutting daring j the month was approved. j GBASS OK ROADS. {The sole right to cut grass or aeed on tie roads m the district was sold to C. Pluck for £5, CROSSING ON POUND ROAD. The Clerk's action m putting a croseing on the Pound road was approved. SMALL BIRDS. Owing to many complaints about the Dumber of small birds, ib was resolved to purchase heads and eggs at two shillings per hundred till further notice, and to ask the County Council to contribute the Bum of one shilling per hundred as m former years. It was decided that the members as well as the clerk should take delivery of eggs. CORRESPONDENCE. Correspondence was received as follows : — From Mra Gronio, electing to repair the eaßtern half of the boundary fence, — The Clerk was instructed_to see thab a good job was made. From Mr C. Angus, re piece of road at Bosedale. — Resolved that he should be asked to make an offer, the Clerk bo point out thai ' a substantial permanent fence would be required. From the Upper Aehburton Road Board, covering account. — Ordered to be paid. From the Mount Hutt Road Board, re by laws for cyclists on roads. — It was reaolved to adopt them as suggested, and to share coßt of preparing same. Mr Scarlett's offer for plantation was ac cepted . From the Valuer General, adjusting errors made m bis office ; also stating th*t no allowance would be made the Board for sup plying information aa to addition, etc. The local bodieß were only asked to su; ply in formation with a view to keepiuc; down the coat of rolU. The Board looked upon the present arrangement as being the very reverse, as it would oertairJy increase the cost, and at the same tima be most un satisfactory. ACCOUNTS. Accounts amouuung to £89 19s 4d were paised for payment and the meeting terminated.

In searching for the cause, sus pioion foil on tho tea they had used. A sample taken Tom a one pound tin m use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic acitf, tho presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of sa'ts m welding the parts of tm together. The analyst warns consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this ncid, and therefore dangerous I for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed m lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. Thisstjl of pa- ket is quite impervious to the air. and tea so packed has been known to retain all its aroma and strength lot a period of Jivo years."

SiiNXHßfct «te s-oiis Euca- lypti jEJjctract. Under the distinguished patronage of Hia Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March +14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUB PURE VOLATILE EUOALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per n formation forwarded to us through the Conßul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate : — It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are uaturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the '■anative qualities proper to the plant Ml crude oils, or bo oallcd Euoalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an nternal adicament. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible ; 1 By their deficiency m pungent odonr— which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extraot develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specifio density through the presence of acids. By theirtaste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, co-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m caseß of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
