BEAUTIFYING BARING SQUARE.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,—Borne time ago I saw in the Guabdian a suggestion re beautifying B>ring Square. I quite ooaour that this spot in the middle of your industrious and healthy town of Ashburtou should be beautified, and at once, before losing another season. As I believe there v plenty of labor to be had at this time of year, the wonder is that this desirable improvement hna not been done before how by the Ipeople of the town and county of Ashburton, who have the name (and rightly so) of subscribing liberally and generously to outside affairs. Would it not be prudent to extend their generosity by further subscribing to beautify the environment) of their own homes. This we!!-aitu°ited little lung of your to «?n,is right is the traffic to and from your railway station and post- ffice, and which every stranger tourist) and .others would see and admire, as they must pass alongside. If this work is well done it would be an everksjbiag credit to the residents of tbe town and county of Ashburton, as your beautiful domain and hospital sow are. My suggestion to beautify Baring Square, would be to take away the present fence and have an iron one, let into Mount Somers stone as a base; an orna mental fountain, Band "rotunda, seats, shrubs, grass and flower beds; ooeMiooal •pots for florists, nurserymen, and gar diners to exhibit the beauties of their profestion. I am prepared to subscribe £20 as a nucleus of a fond for the above object, and am sure others will fallow the example when thera is a probability of the work betog done. It will perhaps be better to call a meeting to form a Beautifying Atßociation, as they have dorm in other places. May I ask space to insert this letter in your valuable paper, the Guabdian !—I am, *c, County Resident.

TECHNICAL CLASSES.

I At a meeting of the Bab-committee ap- I pointed to make final arrangements, it was decided to open on Wednesday evening, (18 h July) at 7.30 p,m, in the Borough School, which has been kindly placed at the disposal of the Association. Tha chairman (Rev. R. A. Woodthorpe,) will give a short address, after whioh the teachers will maet their students, and arrange a time-table to suit the majority. To place the classes within the reach of ai, the fees are made almost nominal—thab is 7s 61 per quarter for one class, 12s 6d for two, or 15s if three or more classes are taken. The subscription for honorary members ia half •> guinea, and this will carry the privilege of nominating one pupil who will be charg dno fee. The attention of employers is specially directed to thia provision, which the committee hope will prove a mutual benefit. The rules of the Duuedin Teohnioal Cla«s«i Association were adopted provisionally, and the course of study similarly arranged under three heads- (a) Literary, (b) Commercial, (o) Technical. A—LITEBARY— 1. English Literature. 2. French and Latin 3. Political Economy B—OOMMBBOtAIi — 1. English Grammar aud Composition 2. Arithmetic 3. Bookkeeping 4. Shorthand 5. Type-writing 6. Penmanship C— Technical— 1. Mechanical and Architectural Draw* 2. Mathematics suited to the require ments of Mechanics 3. Chemistry 4. Elementary Physics as an introduction to Heat, Light and Electricity j 5. Theoretical Plumbing

The Committe wish it to be known, that while submitting this programme if work, ihey will be moat willing to arrange for other cUbbcs, if euch support is forthcoming as wii! warrant their inception. They wish at the same time to poioc out. the following practical aims of the three courses. Group A—Provides for the general im piovementof those who-desire to continue Botne specific study* For this purpose the General Literature Class will probably meet in the afternoon to give our young women a chance to attend without, interfering with ordinary domestic duties. B—la specialty framed for those engaged in clerical work who reay wish to fit them-

selves for the Junior or Senior Civil Service, Matriculation, or New Zealand Accountants' examinations.

C—This course will be arranged so that young mechanics may prepare themselves for the various technological examinations held by the South Kensington b'cieooa and Art Department or the City and Guilds of London.

The following ladies and gentlemen have ab the request of the Committee kindly undertaken the teaching of the classes in the different) groupe: — A (literary subj ct)—Rev R A Wood fchorpe, M.A.J B (commercial subjects)—O Salmond, M. A;, W Brook, Esq. Miss Gates, M.N.P.8., and Miss Graham.

Wbllikoic July 12 The Union Company's hulk the Arawatta, which recently went ashore at Kaiwarra, has been flouted eff, apparently uninjured. A Deputation of shopkeepers asked the Premier to delay passing the Trading Stamps aid Coupons Abolition Bill until they ha 1 furn:shed a soheme that would, to some ex lent 1, reform the system. The Premier, in reply, condemned the present system as pernicious and reprehf niible in the highest degree, at;d if allowed to continue would resul' in serious injury to those whom it was the duty of the State to protect. He •»'d he would consider the question of em* bodying in the Hill a e'ause by which it finitesiroal discount on small cish payments could accumulate under some system of coupons until they reached an appreciable sum.

The Morrison Will Cas« — Masira Smithson and Raymond, solicitor!, Timaru, received a cable from their London agents to-day informing them that the Privy Council had dismissed the appeal, with costs, in the will case Allan v Morrison, It will be remembered that after the death of Mr 8 W Morrison, of Timaru, no will could be found, bub a draft copy of a will made some time before Mr Morrison died waa in the hands of his solicitors, Messrs Perry, Perry *nd Kinnerney. Probate of the draft will was asked for, in the District Court, by Mr Andrew Allan, one of the truitees mentioned, and wa« opposed by Mrs Morri son. The case was then taken to the Supreme Court, and attracted much atten tion, the principal legal talent of the colony —Mr H D Bell, of Wellington, appearing for Messrs Perry, Perry and Kinnerney in structed by Mr Allan, the trustee, and Sir Robert Stout for Messrs Smithson and Ray mond instructed by Mrs Morrison—being engiged to argue the matter before Judge Dennisfcon, The case then, we believe, went to the Appeal Court in Wellington, and finally to the Privy Council, with the result that the estate goes to Mrs Morrison. Valuation District? Altbred -The Va luation deprrtmenb have detached the Kai kouca county from the Canterbury Valua tion Distriob, No 4 making the northern boundary conterminous, with the boundary of the Canterbury Land District. The Kai koura oouncy is now to be attached to the Wellington distriot. We trust soon to hear that the Waimate and Mackenzie countries have been attached to the Canterbury Valua tion District, making the whole conterminous with the Canterbury Waste Lands District, from the Waitaki on the south to the northern boundary of the Amuri and Cheviot. This would make tha distriob much easier to work by the department, and delay* which under the preienb boundaries often occur would be obviated.

(Sugar Goattd A WONDERFUL and eitraordinar combination of concentrated medicine The rictoriesof Science—-Electric Telegraphs Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whok system of the globe, and made man* kind wiser and better. So, although there: are countless Pills used for disease, and claiming much as to their merit, the remark able discovery of Dr. Hay dock hat eclipsed hem all, and has founded a NEW MEDICAL SYSTEM. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills, enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the,bowels, must give way to the man who restgres health and appetite with ona or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Da. Haydock's Nbw Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach in poi feet order, creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its functions are restored, and the Nervona Systorn is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. ;«IYMPK)MS O* 1 BILIOUSNESS. 1 The patient complains of a fullness of theisomtch. . . ■ 2 Distension of the bowels by wind, .', 3 Heartburn 4 A feeling of weariness, sleepiness after meals 5 A bad taifce in the mouth andfarre tongue , 6 Constipation, with an oaoasional diarrhoea 7 Headache in front of head 8 Depression of spirits and great lassitude All of the above symptoms go to show notional derangement of the Liver ; and w comes the great importance of any ' ire ade us to the condition of the patient, M hould immediately provide himself w th a Liver Stimulant, the most common form of which is a Pill. Daily experience shows that this, when the Pill is compounded properly s the readiest mode of inciting and promoti ing the action of the Liver, and cat. a!way be relied on. I have devoted many years o. my life in compounding a Pi!!, that will ac readily and. systematically as a Bilion Remedy. I do not believe in great purga lives, and therefore have marie a Pill, one o which is an active and thorough dose, have called it Haybock s Niw Livjsb Putt.
