AMALGAMATION OF SCHOOL COM MITTES.

. .., . ai. (To. he Edilor of the Star.) j0 .< SiK,— There is a movement on foot to Amalga mate the three public school Committees; I fear, it will bo a mistake. ■■ The 35th clause appears to givethe Boairds the power, but will it be right for them without being moved by the residents to exeroisethat power? Do.he committees'at' present faithfully attend to'f one or twq schools each?1 Will one committee attend to seven schools? .sit right to deprive the residents or the privilege of appointing a • committee to manage in then own locality? ■ Cfsn any .SPSSST. tion by'th'epubiio officer be equal in little tnings to the oversight of-a committee composed of tne, parents of the children being taught ?—Xours &c.

A PAPIST'S OPINION OF "PATRIOT."

(To the Editor).:' ._. ! _ Sir,—Your correspondent "Patriot;" if be continues such spicy letters to your paper as that which appeared in last Saturday's.issue, will not promote peace and PW^tto youm- colony. Now. it is admitted that there I?eawd sides in all debates; and, so why should " Patriot" give way to such low ribaldrj Igainst the Roman Catholic Church, w.en hi if not competent to calmly discuss the question of denominational edu-. cation. ''Peace and Progress", merely gave vent to his views on this important question, which is now ngitating the worid, and « Patriot" answered him (like a bigoted nincom poop as he is) by a tirade of vulgar abuse •'Patriot" should advocate the reading of the Bible in -ion-Catholic schools—nay, more, it ne has got ohi dren under hi_ charge, he should re fuse to send them to any school where the Bible is "shutout." Then he would be acting according to his conscience; but he would rather scatter the holy scriptures to the winds, and risk the salvation of "little children, than that the conscientious scruples of Roman Catholics should receive the slightest con. ldera tion of the State. To be candid with your anti religious correspondent, I will inform him that, whether the State endows denominational schools or not, the Roman Catholic Church will continue to promote peace and progress uy giving her children a sound religious education. However, this reflection I hope will not cauße " Patriot" too much pain : ( *' And ride on his breast, i And trouble hi. met, In the shape of his deadliest sm — hut trust that he may follow the example of pious Catholics—meditate on the scriptures and -' pray without ceasing."—Yours Sec, Pax.

Commenting upon the statement that Mr Wood, of Mataura, would be celled to the Upper House, the "Timaru Herald," of which Mr Wakefield. M.H.R., is editor, says: "Mr Wood is par excellence the bore of the House. * Infinite Wisdom ' is the name he goes by, because though he knows next to nothing about anything, he never by any chance misses an opportunity of expressing his views on every possible subject, with, an air of superlative wisdom and authority. As soon as he rises, and he always rises at the most inopportune moment in every debate, the terrified members fly in all •directions, and stay away a good .ong time. They.know for certain that whatever any body else has said before him, Mr Wood will say over again at least once, and that, moreover, he will add a great many lengthy remarks of his own on every conceivable .subject except the one tinder discussion. Nothing stops him, or shames him, or disturbs him at all. Finance, law, edu cation, points of older, taxation, native affairs, want of confidence—it is all the same to him. He does not want anybody to listen to him, he does not want anybody to reply to, he does not want even to know .he question. His infinite wisdom is all sufficing. Just when a debate is growing interesting, and a fine passage of arms is on the tapis, up stands this dreadful man, calm, quiet, collected, shining all over with smug self-satisfaction ; and slowly, slowly, inexorably lets himself run down. Cough ing, ironical- cheers, frantic cries of 4 question,' are all thrown away upon him. Nothing short of an extinguisher such as Anderson the Wizard of the North used to hide himself under, would stop his flow of solemn bosh ; and even if that were popped over him bodily, it is doubtful whether he would'not go on talking till the messengers took it off again at the adjournment of the House. ; . ; For. Mataura, it is

to be hoped that a really good member will once more be returned.' A constituency whose name is inseparably connected with that of a statesman like Sir Francis Dillon Bell ought to be ashamed to send a man to Parliament who is never spoken of without ridicule."

Mr E. B. Dickson reports on the weather of last week : " During the entire week no rain has fallen, the weather having been ■very| warm and dry, though much tem pered by copious dews and fresh, often strong wind. The barometric pressure con tinues above the average of the season, the mean being 30.007, against 29.919, in the same week of last year. A very steady and moderately rapid fall from 30.196 on the evening of Saturday the 14th, to 29.840 on the morning of Wednesday the 18th has been followed by a rise as steady, which is still continuing. There have been no sudden and abrupt oscillations during the week. The maximum of temperature, both for day and night is registered for Monday the 16th, viz., 80.9 and 61.9, the minimum readings are those ©f Friday the 20th, being 71.5 and. -2.3. Indeed, the temperature of Friday was so much below that of the rest of the week as to reduce the averages fully one de gree below those of the other six days. These averages are, for day 76.7, and for night, 58.6, with an approximate mean of 67.6, while in the same week of 1877 the mean was only 65.8, and the general aver age of December for the 14 years is ,64.4. Rain, as aboye stated, there has been none recorded in this station . nor has any fallen since the afternoon of the 7th, so that thir teen consecutive dry days have been regis tered. The average degree of humidity for the week is very low, being between 68 and •69 (the same figure as in last year), showing a fall of 4 degrees from last week, and 10 degrees from the week previous. The sky has been mostly clear, though for two days much overcast. The average amount about 3_ parts out of 10. The wind was very light at the beginning of the week; but rose rapidly towards tbe •close, and on the two last days^ Thursday 12th, and Friday 13tb4was lyery strong, giving an average of 22 miles per hour over the-Mioie • ■48;'!hdiirs. ;At 10 a.m. of the latter 'day a rate of 34 miles was observed. D.uring the Friday night it. fell to an almost entire calm, and.t_ien.jC ! ame< 'up light from' N.S. . having, been.pi'eviously very steady at S.W.j iand-at ?_,(. a.n_, on tlie-morning oh the 14th not more than 4_ .miles per hour■ was observed."

They were made by the Bkbt W. st End of Loniion Tailors according to my own directions to suit the requirements, of this market, and will be found to be the FINEST SAMPLE OF GOODS ever landed here for Summer wear. It is not my custom (as is v. ry often done by pome shop-keeper.), to bring off the back shelves la year's Goods, and advertise them as " New -took." I would specially call th. attention oi parents and guardians, to the shipment ol JUVENILE HUITS. Although only opened out last week, their adaptability both, as regard style and material, has caused more than hali of them to be sold. Those therefore who wist to see the rising generation " smartly dressed' for the Holidays, should without delay pay _ visit to .uy establishment. FIRST COME FIRST SERVED. ««- SPECIAL.

This wonderful remedy has attained to a popular! ty as great as it is surprising. The fame of the Medicine is spreading over the Austra lian Colonies,—such pleasing notoriety being easily explained by the multitude of cures effected, and the special fact, that among- the cases cured were several suffering Australian gentlemen' who were visiting Auckland,- who fill high positions, and have used their influence in making known the virtues of the BLOOD RBSTORJ-R.

Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 years resident, of Long-standing Rheumati.m. t. _» -r _ _ -Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir, —I had suffered severely and most acutely from Rheumatism • for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in the exercise of my callihg. For years I could not sleep at night, and was unable to lie except in one position. Day and night I was fud of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence my general health was also materially iniured I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism; and its attendant evils, in every shape and form and my life was almost a burden to ihe. I trie every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining anyreliof whatever. The sum I spent m medicine and medical advice was very con siderable, but Of no avail,' until I invested in a bottle of your Blood Restorer; I I .may say that I wa3 not hopeful' at all when I pur chased your .medicine, I had tried; so many specifics without receiving the sligheSt benefit, but having determined to give it d fair trial, I carried out my intention. I adhered strictly to the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my former self again—restored to health and vigour, and able to drive daily through' all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worse case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, .after sitting on the box for a leng time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it Is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures tosend yon this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do^ likewise, I shall feel that this letter ls not written in vain. I have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it is quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir, yours gratefully, 4 _ . „ Henry Maiden. To H. E. Hitchens, Esq., Auckland. LADIES, TAKE NOTE OF THIS .-^ ■ _. Two important points should not be lost sight of in selecting a Sewing Machine, First i lie not misled by long and extravagant puffs in the papers about Maohihes which are frequently made only to sell, and more frequently sold by those who, from their want of mechanical knowr ledge, can only parrot-like repeat the puff.. 2nd i (Beware of purchasing a SewingMaohine because ir happens to j; he a,few shillings cheaper, and have afterwards to pay dearly for it in;worry, delay, and vexation.
