The Evening Echo. THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1878.

A Letter from Dr. Macßean Stew art re School Committee affairs, was received too late for publication to-day, but will appear in to-morrow’s issue.

The Elder Troupe, we may re mind our readers, give their entertain ment to-night in the Library Hall. . Local Christy’s.—We hear that a company of Christy Minstrels is to be formed in Ashburton, under the aus pices of the Oddfellows’ Society.

The Mayoralty.—There are two Richmond’s in the field for this honor —Messrs. T. Bullock and Donald Wil liamson—and both seem to have a strong following. It is a sign that in terest in the affairs of the town is not wanting when two gentlemen like the candidates above mentioned are found ready and willing to undertake the onerous duties that must necessarily fall upon the first mayor of a town only recently reclaimed, so to speak, from the-waste of the plains, and both are to be highly commended for placing their time and talents at the disposal of their fellow-townsmen.

1.0.G.T. —The Dawn of Peace Lodge held its usual quarterly meeting for the initiation of officers on Monday evening last, when the following mem bers were duly installed in • the various offices:—P.W.C.T. bro. Sando, W.C.T. bro. Aitken, W.V.T. bro. Davis, W.S. bro. Ainsworth, W.T.S. bro. Lucas, W.T. bro. T. Andrews, W.C. bro. Dr. Kesteven, W.M. bro. Gapes, W.I.G. bro. Murphy, W.O.G. bro. G. Davis, W.R.H.S. sister M. A. Andrews, W.L.LI.S. sister Taylor, W.D.M. sister Hardley, W.A.S. bro. Tucker. A large amount of business was transacted. The report of the W.S. showed the Lodge to be progressing rapidly, and to be in a most flourishing state. Five new members were initiated and one accepted on clearance. The Cowcatcher. —The effici ency of the “ cowcatchers ” with which the locomotives on our railways are now armed, was practically illustrated this morning at the Ashburton railway sta tion.. As the 10.15 south train a P* proached the platform, a very valuable pointer dog, the property of Mr. R. M. Buchanan, with suicidal deliberation, placed himself across the metals. The excited spectators on the platform looked on helplessly at the poor creat ures perilous situation, expecting to witness a fearful mangling, but all were much surprised and relieved to see the dog taken up by the “ Yankee notion,” and carried beyond danger, having certainly experienced a most extra ordinary deliverance A Simple Kerosine Test— Mr. W. Herapath, of Bristol, makes the public acquainted with an easy me thod of proving whether kerosine oil is 'dangerous or not. Let two or three drops be allowed to fall on a plate or saucer, and apply to them a lighted matdh 5 if tfhe flame spreads over the surface of the drops the oil should on no "account be used, as it will under "any circumstances prove explosive. The genuine kerosine or petroleum will mot bum except Upon & wick. Flying Machines.—’ With regard to flying machines, investigators are slowly developing the facts as to the principles of flight. M. Tatin, of Paris, has so far succeeded in his silk winged models as very nearly to approximate to the winged motion of a pigeon. He uses compressed air as a motive power. It is decided jthat long narrow wings are best, and the latest model will lift a load equalling its own weight. M. Tatin believes that he will even reach a formula which will show definitely how many foot pounds [per second are neoessary to fly a given weight. A Spider Bite. —Mr. Clements, of ■Bugowma, informed the Forbes Twies a week J3X two ago ot a man who had suffered most excruciating pain from the bite of the well-known black spider with a red spot on it. The man was bitten whilst in bed, and was in agony for four days from its effects. The pain seemed to go through the body, and then down the legs, back again to the ’body, and finally down the arms to the tips (Of the, fingers. The man described dbhe pain, as it was leaving hatn, as almost unbearable, and said he felt as though his finger nails were being dragged out by their roots. Pleasures of Imagination.—The ‘Other day a man took home a book containing ‘several anecdotes showing the power of imagination, and after reading -them to his .wife, he tenderly said, '‘Now, Angelina, you may some times imagine that you hear me kissing the servant girl in .the other room, and 1 you see 3aow base a thing it would be to accuse me of -such a 'thing.” “John lTenry, she replied, in a smooth .voice, “ if ever Timagme such a thing you’ll ne ed a doctor within ’fifteen minutes, np 'patter what the book says,”

INAUGURAL MEETING OF THE YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSO. CIATION. T

The inaugural- meeting of the Ash burton Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation was held last night .in the, new Town Hall. There was a very large audience, the body of the hall being well filled. Owing to the illness of Mr. C: E. Fooks, the chair was occu pied by the Hon. Secretary of the Association, Mr. J. E. Buchanan, and on the platform with him were Messrs. T. R. Hodder, of Nelson; Heyvvood and Black, Christchurch ; Gavin, Ash burton ; and the Revs. Burnett, Marten,’ and Westbrooke; Behind these were placed the organ, played by Mr. H. J. Weeks, and a choir formed of repre sentatives from all the denominations of Protestant Christians in Ashburton.

A ter prayer by the Rev. Mr. West-- t r joke, The Chairman apologised for holding the position he did that night, and hoped the illness of Mr. Fooks (to whom he gave the main credit of insti tuting the Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation) would not be of such severity and duration as to deprive them of his presence and counsel for any great length of time. Mr. Fooks had written apologising for his absence, but assur J mg theifi that he was with them heart and soul. The Chairman then briefly sketched, the brief history of the Asso ciation. Preliminaries had been com menced on the 26th of June, and only, a few meetings had been held previous’ to the inaugural one they were now holding, but he trusted that now with a; membership of 25, trusting in the guid ance of the Holy Spirit, they wduld go on nobly with the great work they had to do. The special feature of the Association was its unsectarian charac ter, and it was a redeeming feature of the religion of the age when members of every sect could unite together under the one common Master to do that Master’s work. The Rev. Mr. Burnett said the Asso ciation had a great object in view in trying to bring together young men for the purpose of Christian work. In a lengthy but able speech, the rev. gentle man pointed out that this was the age of societies, showed the power of union, either for good or evil, - and hailed joy fully the institution of a union for the work of the Master. He contrasted the position of young men who had no connection with any agency like the Young Men’s Christian Association, with that of youths enjoying the bene fits such unions conferred. It was most marked when a young man left his home and found another in a city of strangers. The Young Men’s Christian Associa tion then showed its value and its use fulness, by providing him at once with good company and healthy associations. It--\vas an agency also for teaching young men and utilising their youthful energy and zeal that had signalised itself by its pre-eminent success. It was an agency cementing in one brotherhood under the one Master every young heart and mind, and making them beat together. After referring to the govern ing power of class ideas, the sympathy and power of tone, and the influence of association in forming habits, the time for which was youth, the speaker dealt with the best manner in which to spend leisure time, the reading to be done, the dangers of society in these colonies, and concluded with an appeal to young men to take their .proper place in the Christian economy. It was said of Paris that women and the aged and sick were the only church-goers, and the interests of re ligion were left in such hands. Here every crowd of men' was composed of those in the vigor of youth and strong manhood,* and subjects worthy of the intellect of angels lay before them. Would they not devote their power and talent to the greatest of all subjects man could grapple with—the prepara tion of man for a hereafter.

Mr. Haywood had come simply to show his sympathy with the cause, but since he had been asked to speak he would try to show how he had been benefited by his connection' with , the Young Men’s Christian Association. He was an English Churchman, and that body was perhaps the most conser vative church, and he felt a diffidence in joining such a union as the one they were that night inaugurating. After he had become a member, he found all his prejudices rubbed off, and made many friends in the higher sense of the word, whom he would never have secured, but through tlie medium of the Asso ciation. It had * benefitted him in that it had moved him out of h r s own particular groove, and widened his views. It was a diffi cult thing for a man to stand alone in the right, but confidence was given to him when others were with him. Like •a finger post, the Association pointed to the great hereafter when all should appear before the judgment seat, and it

was also, a post warning of danger, and giving guiding instruction. Mr. T.. R. Hodder said the young men of Ashburton had a special advan tage in the opportunity of enjoying the benefits of union with this Association. The benefits of membership of a similar society he had had personal reason to value when he first went to London, and experienced the help of being taken in. hand by the members of kindred societies in that great city. The advan tages of organisations of this nature in individual churches were great, but these were greatly magnified when they came to-be united in a wide spreading and liberal union on the broad basis of one common Christ. Members of such a society obtained an entree where the shibboleth of denominationlism was un known. Urging young men, if they professed Christ, to join the union and thereby cultivate their power for Chris tian work, the speaker concluded a very excellent * -

.The Rev. also spoke, ad vocating the. missionary point of the society’s work, and'was followed by- Mr. Black, who . highly eulogised the character of such Associations for young men. They disarmed cavillers at the dissensions in the ranks of God’s people, and they were a rallying point for all who served Him.

Mr. Marten also spoke very ably, as did Mr; Callender, of Christchurch. The meeting, which was a very plea sant and enthusiastic one, closed at ten o’clock-with votes of thanks to the chair man, strangers, speakers, and choir, the services of the latter being of a high class.

THE ELECTION OF MAYOR.

To the Editor of the Evening Echo.

Sir, —I am very much pleased to learn that an old and much respected resident like Mr Donald Williamson is to contest the Mayoralty with Mr Bullock. I am an old resident in Ash burton and have had the pleasure of testing the qualifiations of Mr Williamson both publicly and privately, with the result that an opinion is left in my mind that a more straightforward gentleman could not be found to fill the office. For many years he has taken a very active part in everything beneficial to the welfaie of Ashburton, and his interests and associations bind him to a residence amongst us. A proof of this is given by his purchase a few days ago of a large property. Now, I do not wish to say anything against Mr Bullock—he is a first rate man. But I have heard it said by two old friends of mine that Mr Bullock has done all he could on this side of the river, and now meant to go over to assist South Ashburton. It was also said that, having sold his business, Mr Bullock means shortly to leave for the old country. I do not know anything about the truth of either of these statements ; but it is a fact that he has sold his business, and why should he have selected the Agricultural Show ground for Tinwald, if there is no truth about his intend ing to establish himself there ? It would hai e been well had the tQwnspeople been made aware of this before a selection was made in South Ashburton.

I do not want to touch greatly on that sub ject just now, but will take a future oppor tunity of addressing Mr Bullock on this point. Let me recommend the ratepayers to be careful about their selection' of a Mayor", and to con sider well the claims of the two candidates. I am, etc., A Ratepayer,

THE HEAD MASTERSHIP.

To the Editor of the Evening Echo. Sir,—Mr Shury well deserves the thanks of the inhabitants of Ashburton for the manly and straightforward action he has taken re head master Ashburton school; and although he is compelled, as it were, to-associate with what one of the Committee terms a different lot, I am sure the other lot feel pleased with the bold and fearless action taken by Mr Shury (one of the old lot) in the present matter. Sir, I think the people of Ashburton are bound and should apologise to that gentleman whose tes timonials were returned unopened, for the scant courtesy shown by the School CdnirUittee. The ratepayers chose to return a different lot, con sequently they are, in my opinion, responsible for the courteous and polite behavior shown by the Committee to a stranger and a gentleman. I hope the ratepayers will be careful what lot they send to the Municipal Council. I am, etc., -i • - Geo. St. Hill.

A Curious Anecdote.— Although it has nothing to do with the present meeting, I must record an anecdote of a Maori, lest a beautiful story, curiously illustrative of human nature, should be lost to the world through my forgetting it. Some years ago, Rewi te Ahu, a Maori minister of this district, died of decline. On the day he died he several times sank so low that it was thought he was gone, when he would revive, and converse with his friends who were around him. During one of these times he smiled and said, “ I cannot help thinking of the days of my youth. When I was a boy I went down to the river to bathe, and when I sat on the bank and put my feet in the water it felt so cold that although -I wanted to plunge in 1 could not help drawing back and sitting hesitating on the brink. I* wish to die, but when I feel my feet cold as they are now, and find myself going, I cannot help shrinking back, just as I used to do from the cold river when I was a poy, —New Zealander,
