that that the Premier had promised Mr Founders and Mr Seddon that ho would accejt the three votes for property he lderi He thought the Premier ought to give effect to the promise bo made. Mr SaUNDERS said he first heard it from Mr Seddon, that the Premier intended to accept the three votes, and what the hon. tentfeman alluded to, was what the Pre- Hrier said to him (Mr Saunders). The Premikr entirely denied that he made an unqualified promise to Mr Seddon, Mr Seddon said he went to the Premier and asked him if he would not be prepared to accept the three votes which Mr Maunders was prepared to move. The Premier said he saw no objection, and it would perhaps be well to do it. Subsequently the Premier said he wished for time to consider the sub ject. The Premier again denied that he made only unqualified promises. Messrs Seddon and Saunders said they had no doubt that Sir Geo. Grey dropped further opposition believing the Premier had made that promise. | Death of President Garflehl. \ The Pkemieb said : Sir :—Before pro ceeding to the orders of the day, I think it is only right tkat some allusion should be made to the information contained in this morning's newspaper of the death of the President of the United States. lam sure,. Sir, that we all feel that this is a most melancholy event. We should not pass over in silence the death of the head of the first American community, which, we all agree, is associated by ties of kindred and community of interest and largo sympathies in the working of freej institutions. Sir, there is, perhaps, ; no country in the world in which the British Empire ought to have, and I believe has, a deep sympathy than with the United States of America, and an event of this kind is circulated to draw that' bond of sympathy closer. We deplore the ! event not only in the loss of our kinsman in ! the United States, but because it brings : to an untimely end a great career by a most cruel fate. He was a most distinguished men not only for great natural tnlents, but for that quality which distin guishes men in the United States when they have raised themselves by their own ability, by their own conduct, and by their own hard work from the lowest step of the social lad der to the highest. That is a feature among statesman of the United States more thim < in any other country, and we have no more distinguished instance of this than in the ' case of President Garfield. Therefore we i join with our kinsmen of the United ; States in sympathy frr the loss they have i sustained. These few, words have been I said without reflection, but they will, I am i sure, cxpresss the feelings not only of the ■ members ot the House, but of all colonists. Sir Geo. Grey asked if the Premier in tended to move a resolution. The Prbmier said he thought the re- ' marks he had made would be sufficient to express the feelings of the House. ; Sir GEO; Grsy said : Sir, I beg to con- ! cur in what has fallen from the Premier, ' and I would move that a committee consisting of the Premier, Mr Macandrew ' and myself, be appointed to draw up a ' paper expressive of sympathy with the ] people of America en the occasion. Sir, a great and good man has passed away, and ' his death is attended by this remarkable I circumstance ; that he was ruler of about \ 50,000)000 people speaking our own * language ; that he rose to be ruler from the * Very humblest position in life. It is a re- I markable circumstance that the death of a c

roan of that kind should be known all over

the world in a few hours, and that many millions should deplore the loss of amah who, by birth, SVas not clothed in, those attributes 'which usually comiiiaml the sympathy of man. I thinkj Sir, we would do well to show that ev'eii in this remote part of the Empire deep sympathy is felt by the whole community. , Mr Mac Andrew concurred iv what had befell Said, and suggested that A telegram shonld be sent. The motion was then agreed to. BAILWAY CONSTRUCTION BIEIi. -Mr Habl moved that the House agree to the Council's amendments in the Railway Construction and Land Bill. He did not altogether like some of them, hut at the present stage of the session he thought it best to accept them. Mr GISBOBNK R.iid the provision in clause 15 would render the bill practically useless, as although a contract would be made the allocation of the land was to be subject to the approval of Parliament. Mr Weston concurred, and Mr DeLAU TOUR said it this provision passed no com pany could even get advances to enable it to go on. It would not be till at lease the session after next before any company could get any certainty about its land endow ments. On the division, the motion for agreeing to one amendment in Clause 15 was carried by 44 to 23, and for agreeing to the other, by 46 to 17. Mr Ball said he accepted the amend ments because he wished the bill to pass, and Mr Olliver warned supporters of the bill that they would lose it altogether if they did not accept the amendments. The remaining amendments were considered on the voices. The Kailways Authorisation Bill was then considered in committee, and the schedule amended by the addition of the seaward bush line. The bill,was reported, read a third time and passed. SUPPLY. Major Atkinson moved the second read ing of Public Reserves Bill, Mr Montgomery insisted that the new Parliament should meetattheenrliest possible moment, and would therefore oppose clause 4, which proposed to grant supplies for three months beyond the financial year. Mr Thompson agreed with Mr Mont gomery. Mr GISBOBNK said that the Government had been unable to carry its measures, so that they were bound to assume it had not the confidence of the country. In that case, it was necessary the question should be fhially determined after the elections, at

the earliest possible moment. Mr Rollestoh said they had had in« atructions to remodel the Civil Service, and make reductions of £50,000. That could not be done in a day. The Government was not going to stand still and let the elections be carried against them. In that case it was absolutely necessary that they should have time. - The debate was interrupted by the dinner adjournment;

SUDDEN DEATH.

AN elderly man named John Jones dropped dead this morning at about eleven o'clock in Mr Powell's Blue Post Dining_ Rooms, Queen-street. Jones bad been for some time in the employ of Mr Powell as kitenen man, and had been in good health, with the exception of a cold. He went down into the cellar between ten and eleven o'clock in pursuance of his work, and on returning to the kitchen, he fell heavily on the floor. Thomas Beeney, the cook, picked him np and placed him in the passage; he was not apparently dead. Dr Hooper was immediately sent for, but before the arrival of that gentleman, poor Jones expired. Sergeant Martin examined the body, and found small quantities of liquo rice and sulphur in his pocket, which, it appears, deceased had purchased at the shop of a neighbouring chemist, a short time before, for the removal of the heavy cold under which he suffered. It is ex pected that an inquest will be held on the body, at the Metropolitan Hotel, to-morrow, should Dr Philson consider it necessary.

BOARD OF GOVERNORS.

Ax adjourned meeting of the Grammar School Board of Governors for the purpose of further considering the proposed terms of agreement with the teaching staff of the school was held this morning.. There were present:—The Mayor (in the chair), Col. Haultain, Key. C. M. Nelson, and Mr T. Peacock. - . The Committee's report, as passed yester* day and published in our last impressioD, was formally agreed to. Two alterations BUgggeßted by the solicitor in the draft agreement were made, and the secretary ordered to forward copies to the teachers, after first submitting a clean copy to Coli Haultain. . „ The Chairman stated that since Mr Gulliver had received, along with the other teachers, the six months notice of termination of agreement, he had made other arrangements which would necessitate his leaving the school. The acting Head master, however, had written to say that the loss of the gentleman's services at the present time would interfere materially ■with the efficiency of the school. He had therefore suggested the desirability of re taining Mr Gulliver till the end of the present year, it being understood that His engagement at St_ Johns College would not conflict with any such arrangement, while the placing of the a evening classes under the control of one teacher would render it unnecessary for him to attend them any longer. It wa3 resolved to take tne necessary steps for securing Mr dulliver's services until the end of the present year. .

FIJIAN NEW.

(Pee s.s. Southebk Cross.) Matters are progressiug tolerably com» foitably at Suva, the new capital. Quite a small array of caipanters are being em ployed here at present, and the growth of the place is quite perceptible to the naked eye. The new law courts and the other Government buildings are roofed, and they will doubtless be quite ready for their future-occupants as soon as the latter arc ready for them, A meeting has been held, at Which it was resolved to establish a local paper. At the Supreme Court, Levuka, the bankruptcy case in re G. A. Woods has been adjourned. The schooner Coral Queen having bee extricated from the perilous position she so long occupied on the reef at Selia Levu, Taviuni, and partially repaired, has arrived at Levuka with a cargo of copra. The schooner Winifred, Captain Douglas, arrived at Suva from the New Hebrides on Sunday morning last with 82 Polynesian immigrants, composed of 74 natives of Mali colo, and 8 of Santo, for the Colonial Sugar Refining Company. Much speculation was aroused on the beach, when a smart-looking steamer, of large burthen, evidently a stranger, was seen approaching the harbour. The rays tery was soon cleared up, and it was learnt that our latest viaitor is the Wanderer, a fine steam yacht of some 800 tons, the property of Mi Lambert, a member of the Koyal Yacht Squadron, who, with his family, is on on extended cruise round the South Ameri can coast, and through the Pacific. The Wanderer left Cowes, Isle of Wight, over 12 months ago, and having visited the Brazils, passed through the Straitß of Magellan to the coast of Chili and Peru, and from thence to the Pacific, calling at Otaheite, the Marquesas Island1), and Tongatabu, She carries a fine crew of about sixty men all told, who are dressed in orthodox man of-war garb, and is armed with two twelve pounder muzzle-loading Armstrong guns, and two Nordenfcld'a, an improvement on the Gatling gun, besides a suitable supply of small arms. A shocking case of sudden, death took place on Tuesday last, when Mr E. A. Woodhouse, an old resident on Uvalaa, and jwnei of the schooner Ariel; was found yiiig dead in the cabin of his vessel by Japtain Finlay. The body was taken ashore to the Sydney Hotel, whence it was yesterday removed by relatives to the back )f this island, in order that it may be in :erred in the neighbourhood of the grave of ;he father of the deceased. WRECK OF THE MEG MERRILIES. The Marine Board has completed its in vestigation into-the causes which led to the ivreck of the brieautine Meg Merrilies, on the reef near Suva. The finding of the Board is to the effect that no blame attaches to the Harbour-master, the captain of the tug boat, or anyone belonging to the wrecked vessel, but that the cause of the Disaster was an error of judgment com mitted by Captain Hughes in keeping his vessel on the starboard tack, and standing to the eastward, with the reef under his lee, when the wind fell light, instead of going jbout and so getting a good offing. During the enquiry it tianspired tbat Captain Hughes has navigated the South Pacific for twenty years and has never met with any previous accident. A fuller report of the Jaso will appear in a future issue. A DETERMINED SUICIDE. A most determined case of suicide by a aative is reported from Dreketi. It appears that a young chief who was working wita Mr Wilder, in the employment of Mr J. B. Simmons, had become involved in a certain social irregularity bringing him within the purview of the native regulations. Upon this matter corning to the knowledge of the iuthoritics, an officer was sent : down to ascertain the truth of it. The man slid not attempt to shield himself, but at once admitted the fault of which he was accused- The officer then returned and for some hours the man went on with Ms work as usual, but taking ad vantage of Mr Wilder's temporary absence from the house, he possessed himself of a pun that had bccnloaded to shoot a bullock. To prevent accident, the cap had very properly been taken off the gun, and in calculating for this appears the singular determination of the act. Having obtained the weapoD, the man next got a box of matches and went down the river to a posi tion opposite the town of Matai Lekutu where he called to the woman, jointly I accasad with him, to watch him. He then collected a heap of grass, set it alight and 1; held the gun with the nipple over the fire, y and the muzzle at his Lead until it ex- t ploded and blew his brains out. Death was c instantaneous. t ROTUMA.H BICK OF BRITISH RULE, g By the arrival from Rotumah of the c schooner Midge on Monday last, we are in 7 receipt of news from that island, the most •' interesting item being that the natives, l having already become satiated with the a advantaged enjoyed under British rule, are 5 preparing a petition for presentation to Her *■ Majesty the Queen, praying that the con- c trol of their island may be again handed !' over to them; they promising to pay, J! within twelve months, all expenses * incurred by the Imperial Govern- | ment on account of annexation. The nnited intelligence of the party was not °, equal to the task of drawing the petition, , and as none of the Europeans will assist them, they art obtaining the signatures P first and trusting that some one will turn t( up and write the petition afterwards. The J 1 agitation is a thoroughly constitutional t movement, but it is having an unpleasant ° effect upon the comfort of the Resident F Commissioner. The natives refuse to work v for him, and for gome time he performed all ?_ the duties of bis own chambermaid, house* b maid, chief cook and pottle-washer. It is T hoped that the agitation will soon subside, !' as it has no substantial grievance to keep it l: alive. * DESTRUCTION OF COCOANUTS. v

The cocoanut groves in the Savu Savti district are being devastated by a large insect of the Mantis genus called the mi mimata. This pest preys upon the leaf until the tree is denuded of every green particle and the bare spines sticking out gave to it the appearance of a gigantic broom wrong end up. The top then falls off and the tree dies. The insects are a bright gieen, exactly the colour of the leaf, and specimens sometimes attain to six and seven inches in length. They are sup posed to possess the power of secreting an acrid fluid which they eject into the eyes of those going too near to them, causing the victim of their ■ attention great paiu, and often causing partial blindness ; but as boys are employed to climb the trees and pick them off, and no such accident has ever come under general notice, the tale must be accepted -with slight reservation. It was to wage war on these pests, more than on the rats, that Mr G. K. B. Towson recently imported the pair of laughing jackasses from Sydney. When the birds reached his plantation, they were kept in the cage a short time and fed upon these insects. Upon their liberation they went for the mantis straightway and ; are now doing all that two birds with moderate appetites can do to- earn a re spectable livelihood. The experiment has succeeded so well that it is intended to try and secure some more birds for the service. THE DETACHED SQUADRON. The detached squadron, with the two. young princes, arrived at levuka on September 4. The " Argus" Bays :—" The excitement in Levuka was immense amongst all classes and colours of our population, and much satisfaction was ex pressed that after long delay the expecta tions of the pleasure to be experienced on their arrival were about to be realised. The appearance presented by the five noble vessels, as they slowly and majestically ap proached the harbour, was a grand and im pressive one, and aa soon a.s they had entered the reef, and until they had anchored they were surrounded by quite a fleet of sailing boats and canoes, the occcupants Of which were determined on making a closer inspection of these fine ! specimens of naval architecture. Arrived in the harbour, the warships quickly took up positions and anchored, ?he Inconstant being situated opposite the north end of the town, and the Cleopatra'at the other end of the line, and about oppo site the Government buildings at NaßOva. In the afternoon His Excellency the Gover nor visited the Admiral on board the flagship, his visit being announced by the customary salute; and on Sunday the Princes visited His Excellency at Nasova, where, on Monday tliey re ceived a formal welcome from the native chiefs, the presentation taking place on the rara or parade ground adjoining the Government "buildings, which presented a | very "ay appearance when occupied by the Princes and officers of the various men-of ! war in uniform, the Vice-Regal party, the chiefs and their attendants in elaborate native dreeses, with the many-coloured cos tumes of the large number of European and coloured spectators. The ceremony of wel ! coming their Koyal Highnesses was carried ! out in a highly formal and impressive manner, by the ex-King Oakobau, and in -1 eluded the presentation of inagiti, or food,

and a Tabua, the drinking of yogona, ana the performance of mekes or native dances, which last were executed with the best ex hibition of Fijian skill, and were watched with evident interest by the Princes and thdr companions. D uring the succeeding days themhabitants did their utmost to entertain the visitors. The men of the Bacchante beat the Levuka Cricket Club, but the Levuka Bifle Associ ation retrieved the honour of the colony by a decisive victory over the officers oE the Squadron in a rifle match, Lord C. Scott being among the losing team* The Choral Society performed " Maritana," and a ball was given at Government House.

WELLESLEY-STREET BAP TIST CHURCH.

ANNIVERSARY SOIREE.

Thk twenty-sixth anniversary soiree in

connection with the Wellesley-street

Baptist Church was held last evening. Tea was provided In the hall of the Young Men's Christian Association, and was par-

iatten of by a large number of members and

their friends. Subsequently, an adjourn, ment was made to the chapel, where the public meeting was held. The building was crowded. Rev. A. W. Webb, pastor of the congregation, presided, andseveral ministers occupied seats on the platform. An open ing hymn was sung, and prayer offered. Mr Seeriog H. Matthews, secretary, waß then called upon to read the annual report, which showed that the number on the roll at the beginning of the year was 353; 19 had been received by dismissal from sister churches; and 49 had been admitted to membership after baptism, thus making a total of 421, This number was, however, reduced by 6 deaths, 11 removals from the roll and withdrawals, and 3 dismissals to sister churches. The total number of members on the roll at

the present time was therefore 401, thus showing a nett increase of 48. The Mata kohe church had ceased to exht, but a large number of the late members had been' re ceived into the fellowship of the Wellesley street church. Dating the year the hand of death had removed Mrs Diriani, Mra .Rogers, and Messrs Job Heath, Bailey, Gil chriat, and Williams. In conjunction with other churches, they had shared largely in the divine blessing which attended the services held by Mrs Hampson. Amongst their young people especially was her mission deeply blessed. Owing to the large accession of young converts to the school and church, it was found desirable to initiate some scheme that would aifotd that spiritual counsel and extended knowledge of the things of God they so much needed. A society embracing both objects was formed, and the city divided into thirteen districts, forty-eight visitors being ap» pointed to each, Sick members had been looked after and comforted, and Weary ones cheered and strengthened. The secretary of this agency was Mr S. Vidal. A total abstinence society had been established within the last few months under the care of Mr Joshua Robin son. On the iirst August, the roll shewed 40 members. The church and ground of Mount Eden bad become to) small. It was sold, a new site was purchased, and a new church built, which was opened in Oc tober last. Building and grouud cost alto gether £556 0* 9d. The Wellesley-street Church building fund now amounted to £260, and the secretary of the committee (Mr Edmiston, senior) would gladly receive the names of new subscribers. It was apparent that the day was not far distant when they would have to erect a new and substantial place of worship. During the absence of Mr Webb at Adelaide, Rev. T. Spurgcon had occupied the pulpit of their church, and since his arrival larger congre gations had assembled in the chapel than they had seen there at any previous period. The Sunday-school had beengreatly blessed: that of Wellesley-slreet had 36 teachers and 400 scholars ; Mount Eden, 15 teachers and 120 scholars; Otahuhu, 4 teachers and 32 scholars. The Bible class contained 54 members, of whom 13 were Sunday-school teachers. In September (last year), the Rev. A. Webb attended a conference of ministers of the Baptist Church. The result would probably be the establishment of a Baptist Union with legislative powers. The form of the "Baptist Magazine" had been altered, and it was issued monthly, con taining papers and articles of substantial value." The Key. A'. Webb had been for some time preaching in Dunedin, and tho Rev. Mr Davis took his place in Auckland. The Chairman's opening address wus de livered by the Rev. A. W. Webb, who would like to say fomethiujj regarding how the Church had been growing. When he came, the membership numbered slightly more than 250 ; now it exceeded 401. The growth of a Church depended largely upon every Christian Icing interested in the welfare of souls. If they could not work, let them pray and hold up the hands of all those who were working. He was not aware whether all those present had experi enced tho pleasure of leading a soul to Christ, but he knew of no greater or more exquisite pleasure than that. It was a pleasure that every one of them could share if they set about it as the work of God. The speaker then referred to the easy-going natures of many who pro fessed to be Christians. The theology of the present day was what was called " Rose-water Theology." It eliminated all the penalties and pains which were the sure punishments of bld> and if the Church was to become instrumental in saving sonls it must re-affirm the awful importance and terrible evil of sin, and the determination of God to punish it. The rev. gentleman referred to the ignorance which prevailed in the Chtirch, as to the best method of saving souls. He was recently in ' Mel bourne, where he met a man named Clark, with whom he fell in love at once for that dear brother's heart was burst ing with love for souls. Mr Clark and several others intended to commenco a great and noble work. They had determined to visit within a month, every house, whether rich or poor, in the city of Melbourne.m the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. They pur posed milking Melbourne ring with the glo< rious tidings of Christ's redeeming love, tie referred to the statement that a Baptist Union would be formed with "legislative powers." He would himself like to see a Union established with such powers, but so long as the Baptist Church should adhere firmly to its strictly congregational system, it was improbable that any Bucb. powera would be given. So long as so much value was set upon individual liberty aud privi leges it was not likely that they would be surrendered. It was, therefore, an error to suppose that the assumption of any such powers was contemplated. Rev. Mr Carrick congratulated the meeting ou the large attendance, and said he always liked to be identified with a congregation truly evangelical. He then delivered an excellent address on " How to use the Latent Power in our Churches." The necessity for perseverance was referred to, and the fact that many people under took various branches of Christian work from unworthy motives. They must by prayerful application at the throne of grace, get Bible truths more thoroughly lodged in their minds, and it should be the duty of all those included in the membership of Christ to find out the qualities in them selves, whereby they were most qualified for Christian work. All were differently constituted. There was nnterial wealth, mental wealth, power of speech, thought, and limb, and if power of heart also existed, he did not see why it should not be laid under large and frequent contributions to the cause of Christianity. Rev. T. Spurgeon delivered a humorous address on " Hearing for others." He com menced by wishing them happy returns of the day, and in explanation said that the day was the anniversary of hisbirth._ It was unusual to hear ministers complain that their congregations were too liberal, and only when pigs commenced to fly, and oysters to practice walking up-stairs, would he expect to hear of a prohibition over col lection boxes, cautioning contributors against being too liberal. He once heard a minister scold his people for being too liberal, and in fact, he was the minister himself. They were delighted and astonished at first, but their looks changed when he told them that he did not mean that they were liberal so far as the subscription list was I concerned, They were too generous by far, but in an entirely different direction. Their generosity consisted iv hearing his advice and passing it on to others, never considering its applicability to themselves. And this was too frequently the case. People were always eager to make good advica apply to their friends instead of themselves. They believed that every bullet had its billet, but that theirs was not the bull's-eye. There was a me dium in all things, and hearing for others to the exclusion of self was too great a generosity. ..'.,, Addresses were also de'ivered byKev. Win. Morley.on "Family Religion;" Eev. L. M. Smith, on " The Grace ot Love;" and by Rev. Charles Carter of CeyloD. At intervals during the evening, an ex cellent choir under the leadership of Mr Theo. Cooper, senr., sang a number of an thems as follows:—" Arise, Shine," " The

Lord is in His Holy Temple," " We plough the fields and sow tho seed," " Holy is the Lord our God," and " O, Loid, my God."

Prior to the close of the meeting, votes of thanks were passed by acclamation to the ladies who provided the tea trays, the choir, and the speakers.

DEVONPORT STEAM FERRY COM PANY.

(To the Editor) Sou—Having read a paragraph in your paper last evening to the effect that operations had been suspended in connection with New Ferry Boat, owing to a dispute between the builder and supervisor, I think it only fair to the builderl that the shareholders and public should be made acquainted with some of the facts of the case, shortly after Mr Bailey had com menced operations, he received a letter from the Secretary of the Company, informing him that the Directors had appointed Mr W. Hoile Brown to supervise the work, an act which Mr Bailoy resented, for reasons which I think all impartial parsons will consider justifiable. 1. Mr Brown was an unsuccessful competitor. 2. Mr Brown has shewn, by statements made before and since the contract has been let. that he is pre judiced againßt designs, &0., as furnished by the builder. Now, air, taking these two facts into consideration I think the shareholders and others will cay Mr Bailey has acted Quite right in refusing to submit to the present super visor, and taking the step he has done in stop ping the work till some better arrangement is made. The direotors of tdis Company can offer no reasonable excuse for such high-handed deal ing aa they are guilty of in trying to compel the contractor to submit to an individual who cannot possibly be without prejudice In the matter. Had the present super visor prepared the plans and specifications, there -would have been some excuse for their so acting. However it i» to be hoped these gentle men at the head of affairs will irond their waya speedily, and have matters put on a more satis f aotory fooiing-, so that the work mayl be brougt to a successf al issue, and this can only be done by appointing a thoroughly disinteresten person as supetvlaor. In conclusion I worn those gen tlemen to guard well their actions, as indigna tion already runs high at some things done. It will take a very little more to make it boll over, and then we will see whata the matter.—l am, etc., U. Hookkb.

REPORTED CASE OF COW-POX.

(To the Editor.*

Sim,— Having heard to-day of the existence of a case of natural cow-pox at Mangare, I wont there hoping to obtain some natural vaccine lymph from a source under my own observa tion, bat was greatly disappointed on examining the heifer to find that she is suffering from false cow-pox. Her symptoms are these; There are twenty of niore sifiall round smooth pocks filled with opaque white matter (puriform) without any inflammation round them, most of T7hioh pocks have by this time dried up, leaving scabs about half-an-inch in diameter. The scabs fall off easily, leaving the surface whole, except where they are forcibly taken off, when a slight sore surface is left. (I have secured a tube of tbe matter and two scabs, 89 that if anyone would like to test it they are at liberty to do so.) The heifer has not suffered in health or appetite, and she is giving just as much and as good milk aa before the poo_ came out. '..his is very differ ent from truefcoW-pox In which the pock iularger, has a depression in tho osntre and abroad ring of inflamed surface round it, the contents of which are at first dear, then become opaque. The cow should ba feverish, loses appetite; sometimes she ceusea to ruminate, and her milk is usually lessened in quantity. If the pock Is broken before it would naturally dry up, a sore of a greater size, deeper, and more unhealthy, is left than in the false kind. Both kinds will inoca lato the hands of the milker it they are scratched or raw. I have been led to write this by the faot that it was at one time intended to inoculate some of the neighbours' children from the heifer which I saw, and they would have imagined that these children had been vaccina ted, as a pustular pook would have probably followed the Inoculation; it -would, however, have given no protection against small-pox. I hopo also that the owners of oattle may by this means be able to distinguish trno cow-pox, and that they will Inform any medical man in their district of tho existence ot tho dicease. Dr. Jenner, the Introducer of vaccination, held opinions different from those expressed by the Auckland Hoard ot Health as to the origin of the disease in cows. He thought that it originated from infection by the matter of grease in horses, conveyed by the hands of the milker, or by the cow's udder coming in contaot with the dl.chargo ot grease which had been dropped on the grass, and he tried to show the identity of the fluids by their Identical action in respect of small-pox. Anti-vaccinatlonlsts have laid great stress on this opinion, and have often given it as one of their chief reasons of objec tions to vaccination that cow-pox is derived from suoh an objectionable source. Dr. Jenner in this case has been proved to be wrong. W. G. Soott, M.R.C.B, _c. Onehunga, September 18th. 1881.
