to increase the flow, as represented by- Messrs. Saunders ; the overseer, acting under our instructions, went to see that everything was clear, and nothing was done by him to the effect stated. Shingle Supply. —Mr. Black has de livered about 75 per cent, of the quantity contracted for. We find that there will bo none to spare for shingling the con tinuation of Barnett street, and we pro pose only filling up and making good holes and bad places on the Alford Forest road, as it would be necessary, before giving this road a proper coating of shingle, to re move vegetation and reform some por tions. Some shingle is required in West street between Burnett and Havelock streets.

Timber Contract. —The delivery of tim ber has not been satisfactory. We have had to reject a considerable proportion, ■and have been delayed in making culverts and kerbing Burnett, street. We have given notice that ,the Council will pur •chase and charge against the contract if a satisfactory supply be not delivered at once. '

: The Labor Gang have been engaged in reforming and making good roadway and footpaths in East street, fencing at out vfall drain, forming footpaths from Post 'office;towards;ißaldwin’s- Hotel, stacking and spreading:"shingle, putting in culverts, • etc.?

Banng Square. —Eleven tenders were received for trenching the border and round the trees. That of Anthony Lee for the. sum of L2 10s. was accepted.; Tenders were advertised for a further supply of cement ; only one tender was received from Messrs. Montgomery and .Go., at 235. 6d. per cask. - The report, was • adopted, and the En gineers were . instructed to see to the shingling of West street, as suggested by them.

CEMENT. His Worship stated that when the ten der for cement had been submitted to him he had advised that the acceptance or otherwise be deferred, and he would sug gest that tenders be invited in Christ church.! ■ Resolved that an advertisement be in serted once in .each of the Christchurch papers inviting tenders for a supply of cement, not to exceed 100 casks. TENDERS. . -The MayoT remarked that in future the Works Committee would be looked to for opening tenders, as when left to the or dinary meeting of the Council, very often minor details were overlooked, which sometimes caused subsequent trouble. It was resolved that , the Works Com mittee meet in future at six o’clock on the meeting night of the Council. ? i THE ENGINEERS. In reply to Mr. Roberts, is was stated the engagement with the Borough En gineers could terminate at a moment’s notice.

• PRINTING AND ADVERTISING. The Mayor read a memo, by the Clerk stating that as voting papers would be necessary for the forthcoming election, he wished for instructions where they were to - be obtained ; also, requesting the Council, whenever, advertisements were to ’be inserted in the papers, to give him instruc tions as to which journals such advertise ments were to appear. The Clerk stated would feel inore comfortable if the Council would "give expression to their wishes on the subjebt. After Messrs. Friedlander and Parkin had expressed the satisfaction which they felt regarding the Clerk’s action re print ing and advertising in the past, _ His Worship said he waß of opinion that one paper should be appointed as the official gazette of the Borough for six months at a time. Mr. Williamson concurred, but would like to limit the term to three months. LICENSES. The Mayor said it would be advisable to notify by advertisement that as the By laws were to come Into force on the 26th inst. , applications for licences should be in. by that date. ACCOUNTS . Were then passed for payment. NOTICES OF MOTION. Mr. Williamson gave notice to move at the next sitting of the Council—“ That one local paper be the official gazette of .. the Council for the term of three months, , and that. the Ashburton Mail be the Council’s gazette for the first three ~mpnths, being the first paper established in the Borough.” His Worship gave notice to move — “ That the Council take up the question of maintenance of the main roads within the Borough,” The Council then adjourned.

PARLIAMENTARY.

(per press association).

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Monday, July 12.

The House met at 2.30.

Mr. Dick presented a petition from Otago, praying that the bottle licenses be not retained.

Mr. McDonald, gave notice that he would move--** That a duty of one shil ling per bushel be .imposed on maize im ported into this colony.'* Mr. Jones gave notice that he would ash —"lf Government had any objection to call for tenders in the colony for the sup ply 'of telegraphic forms for a period of five years.” . Mr. Hall moved —“ That the Sessional Order requiring the House to l’ise at 12.30 be rescinded.” He said if not rescinded the session would be prolonged far beyond its ordinary duration' or else important measures would have to be abandoned. Government desired to bring the session to a close as soon as possible, consistent with the dispatch of important measures on. hand. The 12.30 restriction had had a fair trial.and had not proved a success. Mr. Macandrew said that the Order had been worked successfully. At all events, it had not been abused. It was to the interests of the country that they should not carry on the business, as had been done last session, to all hours of the morning. It was ascertained that their late hour? had exercised prejudicial effects on the health of members. Besides, the business was done in a loose manner. Mr. Montgomery would rather give up one of the private member days for Go vernment business than see the motion carried. Sir George Grey opposed the motion, and moved as an amendment the addition the words, " it is undesirable that any

p'ublic money should be voted any sitting day. after 12.30.” Major Atkinson said the arrangement was-an extraordinary one, and meant that while they were not fit to deal with money matters after 12.30 they were still com petent to undertake all the more im portant branches of Legislation. Sir George Grey’s amendment was put —Ayes, 29 ; Noes, 35. Mr. Reader Wood moved as a further amendment that Wednesday, at present devoted to private members’ business, be in future devoted to Government business. This was lost on a division by 26 to 28. The original motion was then put and carried.

Several members expressed an opinion that the Civil Service Commissioners’ report could not be considered as certain papers had not been distributed amongst members.

Mr. Bunny complained that the evi dence had been abstracted from the table, and members thereby prevented from perusing it. Mr. Saunders said the evidence had not been taken out of the building ; but it was found that the evidence of one witness, named White, whose case had been before the House had been abstracted, and could not be traced. • ../ ; -

The Speaker said the evidence was in custody of the Clerk of Parliament, and was open for inspection of members, but he had ascertained that White’s evidence had disappeared before the evidence as a whole got into custody of the clerk. It was then agreed that consideration of the report should proceed at the evening sitting. The Hoxise rose at 5.20 p.m.

THE STORY-TELLER

THE BOUNTY SHILLING.

[continued.]

‘ 1 What can have happened to Dick ? When did you see him last, dame ? ” asked the young girl, eagerly. ■ “He went away from the cottage last night at dusk, and he never stays out of a night never ! What has happened between you, lass, to make my boy speak and act so ? ”

“ Gh, nothing but a little tiff, dame,” replied Susan. “Nothing that J remem bered for an hour afterwards. Off with me, is he—the silly,' handsome fellow ! I will teacli him better things than that, once we find him ! ”

“ Ay, lass, once we find him —if he has gone away and left my poor old heart to break, and you ! ” “Me to wear the willow!” broke in Susan, energetically. “No, dame, nought of the. sort, be sure of that ! But, tell me— had he any money do you think ! ”

“ Over, little, if any, I think, lass,” responded the mother. “ For I remember that he said how little there was to put into his pockets, when—” “Don’t you see then, dame, that he cannot have gone far away?” was the inquiry, constituting another interruption. “ Dick may be a trifle silly, when he is in his humours ; but he is not silly enough for that—to go away 'without any money and without seeing we. And which way did he go when he left the cottage ?” It will be observed that this young female was, like so many of her sex, half way an incarnate lawyer, and that she had at least the legal propensity for beginning at beginnings and tracing out things to their end. “He struck across the field, towards the ale-house, where, belike, he has been too often of late,” was the reply of the widow. “ But what then, lass ? Surely he has not staid there until this time o’ the morning.” “Humph, I do not know that, one way or the other,” said Susan. “At all events, we will go first to the ale-house, see whether he was there at all last night, and then—” “ You go to the ale-house, Susan ? looking for a man, too, if that man is my boy ?” inquired dame Harlowe, in a mix ture of surprise and helplessness. “ Yes ! —why not, dame ?” was the re sponse, with the whole face of the young girl showing that she did not admit the force of the objection, even if she recog nized it. “ Who not ? I say. Oh, because people will say I am a girl, and after him! Bah ! who cares for what they say. Every body knows that I am promised to Dick, for his wife, or they ought to know ; and why shouldn’t I look for him as I might for my husband, that he is to be some day! Answer me that, dame.” “ He ought to be your husband, lass, and a better man than he is, to be worthy of you ; for you are a brave and steady one !” exclaimed the widow, a little dazed, but looking at the bright face and plump form with a sort of dim idea that if she had been a man it would have been no light temptation that drew her away from such a prize. “Come, then—come, dame : let us go after our ale to the ‘ Nine Chickens’ 1”

Dame Harlowe obeyed, in more than one sense carried away by the enthusiasm of the young girl ; and the walk was a brief one, the yoiihg'er legs hurrying on the elder to the full measure of their ca pacity. Not five minutes had elapsed, when they reached the hostelry and found themselves in the midst of a most singular scene, occurring in and at the door of the taproom, with supplementary portions without, and extending quite across the green lane fronting the old inn. At the door and near it were gathered not less than fifty or sixty of the village clodpoles and farmers’ men from the fields close about, with a few of better condition among them blacksmiths, carpenters, and the like. Some had sticks of formid able pattern ; all looked excited, and a trifle dangerous; and two or three of them uttered exclamations of mingled joy, sorrow, and suspense when they recog nised the coming of Widow Harlowe and pretty Susan Ackley. Just without the door, at [the moment ' when the twojapproached it, a fine-looking man of middle age, evidently a person in condition, was alighting from his horse, with evidences of haste, as if he had been suddenly summoned. One of the people held his bridle as he dismounted; and two or three others seemed desirous of making themselves useful to one whom they evidently liked as well as knew, and more than possibly feared. The head of the widow swam a little, and oven bright Susan felt a slight sinking of the heart, marking the gathering and confusion at the door, and necessarily associating them with the absence of the

sonGand lover, at that moment the one predominant object of the whole world. Blit Susan had not taken the bold step of coming to the “ Nine Chickens” for noughjt as was soon discovered. There was nothing without to show that Dick Har loweliad been at the inn, much more was there at that moment ; but there was equally nothing to show that he was not and his girlish fiancee meant to measure both sides of the question before deciding. She pressed her way into the tap room, rather leading' than accompanying the slower dame, but the moment she was well within the door, she saw that which explained itself only too well. There stood a recruiting-sergeant, with four or five recruits, half a dozen regular soldiers, with a fife and drum which the latter had just brought with them from Warwick. Near the officer stood Dick Harlowe, swollen of face and very sullen as well as sorrowful looking—ribbons on the hat which he seemed to be holding in his hand because he would not allow it to remain on his head—and very evidently under guard of the soldiers who had come in with the recruits. This was the mean ing, then, of the gathering at the door,; the villagers and neighboring farmers had discovered the entrapping of Dick, a general favorite, and showed the will, if not the power to resist his being dragged away.

The poor fellow sa\y.' : his 1 ' mother and. betrothed the moment after they entered; possibly he had been helplessly looking at least for the former ; and there was some thing very like a wail in his ordinarily manly tones as he said, without attempt ing to move toward them : - “ See what a pass they ha’ brought me to me to, mother ; and you, Susan—all along wi’ my being a beast last night! They say I ha’ listed, to go away to the wars and fight as a soldier; though I don’t remember naught o’ that. Any way, what can I do but go for a soldier, now that they ha’ gotten me ?—though it does make my heart so sore to think o’ leavin’ home and them that I love, and going to shoot and be shot at, among the wild In jins and tlie Frenchmen—that it does! ”

“ Oh, why did you do such a thing, my poor dear boy?—why did you?” was all that the afflicted widow could sa3 r , tears filling her eyes, and her hands clasping helplessly. But perhaps, good husbands were scarcer than sons in Midland Eng land at that period ; that may even be so at this much later day. At all events, the fiancee displayed much more out spoken spirit than the mother. [TO BE CONTINUED.]
