the road, and dil considerable damage, Mr. Butt felt greatly, aggrieved that any person other than a licensed surveyor should be empowered to cut the fence., Mr. L. Maugham interviewed the Board, and. explained that he had suffered considerable damage through the storm water washing away part of the formation of the Chertsey road ; also washing away a quantity of shingle which he had stacked on the road. Ho asked the Board to compensate him for his loss. Resolved that the matter be allowed to stand over until next meeting, when it would be taken into consideration. The overseer was instructed to call for tenders for several small works requiring immediate attention, said tenders to be laid before the Board at the next meeting.

Tenders were opened for the drainage of main Rakaia road, about three miles, for the drainage of Winchmore road, and one in each case was accepted. After passing several accounts, the Board adjourned until Thursday, the 12th of August.

Mount Somers Road Board.

r The adjourned meeting of this Board was held at the office, Mount Somers, on Monday, July 12, 1880. Present— Messrs. Duncan Cameron, J. E. Taylor, and A. E. Peache. Mr. Taylor proposed*, and Mr. Peache seconded —“ That Mr. Cameron take the chair. ” An apology was read from Mr. W. C. Walker, stating that, owing to the meet ing having been adjourned to the 12th, he was unable to attend, having made a pre vious engagement. _ The Surveyor’s report was read and considered. The following correspondence was read and disposed of :—From the Ashburton ~ County Council, with reference to the road on the south side of Taylor’s stream bridge. From the same, acknowledging the re ceipt of resolutions passed at a meeting . held at Mount Somers on May 15 re the Mount Somers Railway, and requesting to 'be furnished with a tracing of diversion of line. The Clerk was directed to apply to the Resident Engineer for the tracing, as desired by the County Council. . From the same, enclosing account for half-cost to approaches to Taylor’s stream bridge. The Board decided to. let the ac-

count stand over until a proper connec tion is made with the main road on the south side, through Rouse’s and Camp bell’s sections.

From the Registrar-General, requesting that the statistical return may be amended, and immediately forwarded. The Clerk was requested to furnish the information at once.

From Mr. William Gerard re the Black Mountain track. The Board decided to assent to Mr. Gerard’s request, and to place a shoot .across the shingle-slip, a bridge across the chasm, make the cutting on the west side of Cascade Glen, and widen any dangerous places on the track. The Clerk was instructed to write to Mr. Gerard, advising him to apply to the Ohiof Surveyor to lay off a road round the Black Mountain.

From Mr. W. D. Lyall, offering his professional services for any draftsman’s work. . To he replied to. From the Upper Ashburton Road Board, asking if the Mount Somers Road Board would consent to pay half cost of metalling the road now in course of formation. The Board consented to comply with the request, provided the Upper Ashburton Road Board obtained the co-operation of the Mount Hutt Board in metalling the rest of the road to Lyndhurst Station. From Mr. J. H. Aitben, with reference to the formation of a road into Alford Forest, near Slapden’s old mill. The Clerk to reply that the Board intend to invite tenders for the work at once.

: A petition was received from Mr. Richard Boulton and 24 others, request ing the Board to form the road from the south approach to . Taylor’s stream bridge to the main road. The Board were of opinion that the County Council should do the work, and call upon them (the Board) for half the cost. , A petition was also received from Mr. W. T. Chapman and 24 others, requesting that an additional 15 chains of the Saw mill road be formed. The Board did not consider the work necessary. It was decided to construct dams on Fergus’ road so as to compel the water to flow down its natural course ; to invite tenders for formation on Graham’s road, and for repairs on Cameron’s road. The Surveyor was instructed to write to the Mount Hutt Road Board, to request their co operation in making cuttings on boundary road, between western end of metalling, and the North Ashburton. Also in forming and - metalling the boundary road between Reynold’s road and the road leading to Cairnbrae. It was resolved in future to inflict fines for all contracts not completed by the specified time. The following resolution was proposed by Mr. Taylor, seconded by Mr. and carried—“ That owing to the’distance at which the Chairman is now residing from 'Mount Somers, for the future all cheques shall be signed by two members of the Board, instead of as hitherto by the Chairman. Tenders were opened, and one accepted, for each of the following works :—No. 13 S—upply of drain pipes for 12 months, delivered a': Ashburton, Ford and Ogden. No. 14—Township road, metalling &c. , John Devery. No. 16—Sawing 5,000 feet black birch timber, Thomas Capon. No tender was accepted for No, 15, foot bridge on Hewson’s road, as they were considered too high. The pay sheet, amounting to L 396 Bs. 7d., having been passed for payment the Board adjourned.

THE STORY-TELLER.

THE BOUNTY SHILLING.

[continued.]

" Oh, my son ! Oh, Dick, what will I ever do without ’ee !” broke out the poor widow, hearing his final destruction of her hopes, and falling weeping on the shoulder of Susan, who might possibly have in dulged in some corresponding weakness if she had not been . (let the whole truth be told) too much in'a rage at the folly of Dick and the trickery of the officer, to be yet ready for any such exhibition of womanly tenderness. “ I be main sorry, your worship, if you can do nought for me,” said poor Dick, very humbly. “It be hard to go away ftfora everything that one loves ; but if I

ha’ been a drunken fool, I must e’en lie on|the bed, I ha’made, I suppose, (saving your worship’s presence), and bear it as I may !” “ I never knowed that hansome, silly fellow to look half so well, or talk half so sensible, as now when they be going to take him away from me ! commented Susan, now more than half crying, but of course not permitting that thought to rise above her breath that was just ready to 'break'lnto sobs of mingled anger and grief- " . • “ There is one or more questions to be asked,” continued Sir Thomas, with the same grave expression. ' “I have your evidence, sergeant, that this man enlisted ; and I must take it, much as I may doubt the means by which you secured his con sent to wear the King’s uniform. But one thing remains—did you offer him the Bounty Monej’-, and did lie receive it ?” “He certainly did, your worship ; “ he took the Bounty Shilling, and put it in his pocket,” said the sergeant, with a half smile of triumph as he remembered how deftly he had slipped that coin into the pocket of the muddled young fellow’s velveteens !

“ I took no Bounty Shilling ! I never saw anything of one !” exclaimed Dick, very energetically. Then his face fell, and he added “ Tl\at is I don’t remember nought o’ any shilling, yoiir worship.” “ Of courso not—they never do, after they have had it!” sneered the sergeant, who knew how few of them ever saw the fatal coin until it was taken from their persons in the investigation which doomed them to the. ranks and to exile.

“ Silence ! ” spoke the magistrate, sternly, and manifestly again directed that correction at the sergeant. “I am pained to say,” he went on, “that there is pro bably no doubt in the matter ; but as a mere form we will look into the whole affair, and the young man shall lose none of his rights at my hands. The coin, was marked, as usual, sergeant, was it not ? ”

“ Certainly, your worship.” “ Has this young man been out of this house, or out of your custody, since then, so that he could have rid himself of it in any manner ? ” was the next inquiry. “ Not a moment, your worship ; it was my business to keep eye and hand on him, and I have done it! ” triumphantly answered the sergeant. “ Then, of course, if he received the bounty, he has it still about him,” cor> tinued Sir Thomas.

“ He must have it, your worship, for I saw him take it and put it into the pocket of his breeches, there,” answered the ser geant, a smile of confidence on his face that, up to that moment unaware of the possession of the fatal shilling, the poor fellow could not possibly have rid himself of it.

At his words, however, suddenly and without any apparent cause of their pro ducing such an effect, Dick Harlowe, who had been standing bowed in discourage ment, straightened himself as if he had been supplied with a new backbone, and a strange expression of wondering relief went over his face. Oddly enough, too, the widow clapped her hands as if in pleased surprise, then leaned over and spoke a few low words in the ear of Susan, who thereupon liberally danced with joy and could no longer be restrained from addressing the magistrate.

“ Your worship,” she said, “mayhap you will not think me over bold, for dame Harlowe and I be in great grief, as your worship may believe. May I ask your worship a question before all these people ?” “ Certainly, my pretty girl, if it is one concerning the object of this enquiry,” answered Sir Thomas.

“If the bounty shilling be found on Dick Harlowe, then, he must go and serve the King ? ” she inquired. “He certainly must do so, my girl, in that case, and you and his mother must try to make the best of what is bad for you,” the magistrate replied. “ For then the chain of proof that he really did enlist will be complete, and his own admitted intoxication at the time makes him in capable of denying anything that occurred, with the hope of being believed. I am sorry to say it, but you must see and understand so much; ”

But again, 'at this 'juncture, Susan Ackley gave evidence of a tendency already once ascribed to her—the pro pensity. to persist in seeing both sides of a story.

“ One more question, your worship, if it be not against rules,” she said, going on with it, without waiting for permission. “If the bounty be not found on him, what then ? The soldier do say that he have been all the time with him, so that lie not ha’ time to spend it, and that he seen him put it in a certain pocket. If it be not found on him, what then, your worship ?” “You are a determined girl, and an outspoken one, as well as I doubt not true and loving !” the magistrate could not refrain from remarking, before answering the last question, as he did with admiring eyes full on the young girl’s flushed face. “ If the bounty be not found on him, when he is searched, as is both his right and that of tho King—then the chain of proof fails, and the young man must be discharged as never having enlisted, unless other evidence than that of the officer, who is interested, can be brought against him.” “Let him be searched, your worship !” cried Susan, with as much vivacity as if she had been demanding that the man she loved should be crowned. “Dick, lad, let some one search that pocket, wi’out another minute !” “Search me?” said the man thus threatened, who seemed to bo almost hopelessly dazed for the moment, like one coming in out of darkness and blinded with a sudden light. “Search me? Certainly, lass ! Let any one here put hand on me, and welcome, except that sergeant who has done me this mischief, or one of his redcoats. ”

“ There, your worship hears ! He isn’t afraid to be searched ! Who shall do it, so that it shall he all fair and just !” cried the young girl, her eyes sparkling more saucily than ever, and her whole manner that of intense excitement.

“ It is out of my line of duty, but the case is a peculiar one,” said Sir Thomas, indefinably catching the new spirit of the scene. “ I will see, then, that the young man turns out that pocket, and all his pockets honestly and completely, if he has no objection.”

“ I do be thankful to your worship, for I could ha’ asked nothing half so fair !” said Dick Harlowe, with his voice hoarse and his head still in a whirl ; and, at the words, he approached the magistrate more

closely. :,“Tn which pocket did he say 1 put it ? Does your worship remember 1 ?” “ I remember very well young man !” replied Sir Thomas. “ I only wish that you had as clear a memory. 111 the right pocket of your velveteens. Show me that first if you please.” Dick Harlowe obeyed, and turned out the right pocket of his velveteens, all the spectators looking on with painful interest, and the justice stooping low to be certain that jno legerdermain could be practised on either side. Directly, as the pocket came out, Sir Thomas uttered a low— “ Whew!”

Well the good magistrate may have done so for the whole bottom of the packet was torn off, so that a six-pound cannon-ball, much more a shilling, would have fallen through to the floor, the moment it was dropped therein ! The story, if it exists at all, is very nearly told. How the recruiting-sergeant, whose shilling had been thus doubly wasted, swore, below his breath, one may imagine without attempting to put the injurious words into shape. How the other pockets of Dick Harlowe were turned out by him, of course, with no result, may also be imagined. As also how the good looking, silly fellow, released, embraced his old mother and begged her pardon a thousand times for the anger he had mani fested the night before, at her failing to mend that very pocket, the mending of which would undoubtedly have condemned him to exile and dangerous service in the peninsula or on the fields of Flanders. How the good magistrate before dismissing him, read Dick a lecture on the folly of frequenting ale-houses, and the blessing he was likely to enjoy, if he did not forfeit it, in the presence of such a spark ling, determined, handsome and notable little wife—whom ho thereupon chucked under the chin, with the privilege of his years and station, and would undoubtedly have kissed but for the presence of too many village-chatterers. And how Susan, once they wore alone together, alternately pulled his ears for his folly in misunderstanding her, kissed him for her own love, and inspired him for the battle with poverty which they were to fight together, and which they afterwards fought to such good advantage, under the roof of the little vine-clad thatched roof cottage and elsewhere, with good dame Harlowe long their loving companion and the nurse of their elder children.

All these are only parts and pendants of the pleasant little Warwickshire and Worcestershire local legend, often told verbally in the ale-houses on both sides of the Yale of Eversham, but now for the first time given out to the world. CONCLUDED.

Holloway’s Pills. —The extraordinary range of temperature prevailing in our climate is extremely frying to the delicate-cliested, the weak and nervous. All troubled by these afflictions should resolve to resort to the strengthening and tegulating medicine immedi ately they perceive in themselves discomfort of that feeling of restlessness which betokens dis ordered digestion and defective secretion or bile. One of Holloway’s Pills taken about noon and followed at bed-time by a dose suffi ciently large to act apperiently will speedily recruit the faulty functions, and restore order throughout the whole system. A treatment so safe in operation and so successful in result should be known and practised when, from cold and sundry other causes, disease is at tempting to gain a vexatious footing.— Advt.
