MAYFIELD.

From Our Own Corrospondflnt. | j CONCERT. t Throughout Friday the weather was j gloomy aud threatening, and once or twice ( heavy showers fell, for a short time, and moat people predicted the May field peoples hard luck for their concert, to be held on that evening. Happily they were agreeably disappointed, as towards d*rk, the moon { Beemed to clear the clouds away, and m*de ( the drive to the schoolroom quite pleasant. ( Consequently, by 8 o'clock the building was quite full. Mr Ham took the ohair, and tx- i plaiDed the obj c: of the concert to be the raising of funds by the ladies for the Manse Impr vement Fund. We were favored with ( one of the best concerts we have ever had here m respect to talent, which comprised Btngera from Ashburton, Mouas Soinera and Lismore, and a really ecjoyabie two hours were spent. I liked Miss Janet Tweedy very much m her sinking of "Josßie's Dream," for which ehe waß encored. She also sung two other songs to the accompani ment of Miss Boyle, of Tinwatd, who also sang and played two or three songs very sweetly. Misß Ham's recitation " Curfew ■hall not riDg to-nighr," was very well re ceived, and Bhe had to return and give another shore piece. Messrs Orr, . Barber, and W. P. S. Elmslie each gave two Bongs, which would be bard to beat m exposition, and all received hearty encores. Mr G. L. Twenty man was recalled for hia reading. Messrs Ham, Samuels and G. H. Bewell also gave humorous readings and recitations which were well received. Mr Hall as an aocorapanyiat for the gentlemen, and soloist, was very good indeed, he being a perfect master of the piano. Mr John Burgess deserved the hearty vote of thanks aocorded to him —for placing hi 3 most excellent j>lmio at the disposal of the Committee for the even ing, as the great drawback away up country is the want of good instrumental music. Mr A. Reid, on behalf of the ladies, proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the performers, which was responded to with hearty good will. Thereafter they were invited to a '■■ bountiful tea and coffee supper m the public library. I understand that, considering the great amount of eicknese m the district, the prooeeds of the c mcert and Bale of tickets was very satisfactory. A LOSS. I was sorry to learn that our pushing young settler, Mr Geo. Harrison, had the misfortune to lose a valuable draught horse on Thursday morning, after a few hours' illness. 1c is a serious loss when horses are bo high priced, and this animal was as good as £30 to him. THE RECENT WIND STORM. I was surprised to see so little damage dove by the recent wind storm. Mr G. L. Twentyman informs me that his land did not drift at all, although a good deal of dust arose out of the dry, sandy riverbed, giving the impression that it was his land - that waß going. We have been very lucky indeed considering the violence of the wind, and the euorunoua damages done m neighbouring districts. Since the storm the grass has made good headway, as the wind seemed to heat the soil and push vegela'iun ahead.

The Kkd of the Cestcrv drawß near, and somehow the fact impresses one and nnikes ouo think. On the threshold, as it were, of the twentieth century, we puue and tako a glat:oe back over the years that are gone. How much has happened during this now dying century J What wondera have been given to the world ! The power and use ot steam, the electric telegraph — these and many others are the disc .veries of the nineteenth century. But that which will cause the closing century to stand out above all that have gone before and all that are to come, is the fact that m its earlier half was discovered a priceless blessing to mankind — those universal remedies — Hollo way's Pills and Ointmant.— {Advt )

These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine ' Eucalypti Extract develops moßt freely through its surplus oxygen.
