The committee were eujoiueJ to obtain these names, which, they were in formed, the agent had placed at the disposal of the committee.—'ihe Mod-.rator s»id that it had not been placed before the committee.—Key. J. Mucky said that the Key, Mr Bruce had intimated that he would place the names at the disposal of the committee, Mr Macky then proceeded to give the history of the fund which he said had been raised throughout the length and breadth of the land, and he thought it only rioht that a list of the sub-"" scribcrs should be published. He asked the Moderatoi had any attempt been made to attend to the recommendation of the la«t As'.embly? A recommendation of the Assembly should not bo ltghtly passed over or disregarded.—The Moderator said that no formal demand had been made that the names should bo published.—Key. J Macky inked would the recommendation be renewed, - The motion was carried, and the conmitteo instructed to.publish the lint of subscribers.

Committee on Sunday-schools —The Key. K. F. Macuicol submitted the report of the Committee on Suoday-schoolp, It stated that, as many of the schools failed to send in returns the report was nece; sadly incomplete and unsatisfactory ; 68 schedules were seat out, and only 37 returned. Thoie returned received represented 76 schooh, connected with which thero weie 5862 scholars, with an average attendance of 4343, aud 592 teachers, in addition tlitre was an attendauce of 313 males and 465 females at advanced liible classes. In c;r culation,iu school libraries there were 10,276 volumes, 'iheso schools contributed £111 12s last yejr to the Mission and Uayspring Funds, and the sum of £572 2s 2d was raised for school purposes. The repoi t coa taios many valuablo suggestions re Sunday school work. Mr Macnicol suid he might have niido the report longer had ho not considered the expense of printing a serious item. He had withhold no information, though some ot the quostlons hinted at might have been gone into more fully. The statistics called for by him, as convener of the committee, did not come in satisfactorily, and ho sug gested that the Assembly instruct the Statistics Committee to leave all financial matters appertaing to Sabbatb-schooU to the committee of which he was convener. He would sooner resign the office than i carry ou tha work in an imperfect manner. —Key, J, Macky moved the adoption of the report and expressed logret tbac the con vener should have laboured under difficul ties through the neglect of ministers and others, He suggestod that authority be given to to the committee to make en quiries not only from sessions, etc., but also from Proibyteries as to their action with regard to Sabbath -school*-, so tbat tbe onus could, to a great extent, be laid on the Pieabyteries. He then movt-d the adoption of the report, incorporating in his motion •the substauce of bis remarks.—Key. Ii McUregorEccondedthemotionandsuggested the holding of annual examinations in con nection with Sabbath schools.—Mr J. Lamb suggested that an effort should be made to find how many youDg people leaving the schools joined the Church.—Hey. J. Pater son supported the motion, and in doing so said hia experience of examinations was that they were failures—a very small pro i portion coming forward, — The Keys, J. Hill, D. Runciman< J. Allsworth, T. Nonie, McKinney, J. Doull, and W. Douglas rlso spoke. Tbe latter estimated that there were fully 10,000 children attend ing the schools. He advocated a system of written examinations similar to what they had in connection with the Otago Church. —Rev, J, Sherrills suggested the addition to the motion of a clause re the holding of a wiitten examination during the ensuing year; the papers to be examined by the Presbytery of Auckland. The mover (Mr Macky) thought that the examination might be held, but suggested that the several Prcibyteries should examine the papers.—lt wa3 decided to embody the suggestion in a subsequent motion. After some further remarks tho motion was adopted.—The Key. Mr Sheniffs moved a resolution re examination, which wf s car ried.

Temperance.— The Rev. F. Masoa sub mitted the report of tho committee on tem perance. It entered largely into the pro gress, po'icy, and s'atistics of tho Total Abstinence movement.—Mr Ma«on advo cated the formation of Sands of Hope in connection with every congregation, and suggested that there reiylit be two branches —a, total abstinence society and a temper ance society—properly bo culled. He spoke warmly of tho good work done, by tho Church of England Temperance Society, of which (he Quseu, the two rrchbi.-hop?, and many bishops weto memlers. In Great Britain four bishops and 7,000 clergy were total abstainers, The advance of total abstinence in other Christian Churches was also referred to. The passage of the Licensing Act was a progressive step in New Zealand.—The Rev. J, Mac! 03 movi d " That tho repoit be adopted, the tnanks ot the Assembly given to the committee, i especially the convene1, that the committee ba requested to coniiuue their labours with increased diligeuco, that ministers and oflico-bcarcrs be roquested to use their in fluence in furthering the cause of total abstinence and tho disuse of di inking customs of society, and the foundation of I Bands of Hope and Temperance Societies, believing ihe.-e to be effectual way of mi*i gatiDg tho evils of intemperance." He said after hearing the report and the able speech of the convener, little remained for him to fay. tie referred to various scriptural in junctions to temperance, and said that the drinking customs of society had much to do with intempe;ance, and suggested that ministers and members of the church should diecountcnaDce these habits.—Mr John Lamb seconded, aud Mr J. Buchanan supported the motion. — Key. J. Macky moved an amendment "That the report bo received, and that tho thanks of the Assembly be given to the committee, and especially to tho convener, for their diligence in seeking to le?sen and counteract the evils of intemperance, and in furnishing information to the Assembly on the subject. That the committee be re-appomted, and authorised to persevero in tho good work with which tney are en-, trusted, and that it bo a recommendation of this Assembly to all Presbyteries and

congregations to adopt euch meanucs "in | their several spheres as may seem to them best suited in their circumstances to guard against the first appearance of the evil in the young, to strengthen and promote habits oi: tempe'ance in people of al agea, and to help tin victim* of intemperanco to overcome tempta'lon by means of ex ample and f iendly counsel, and fornvng associa ions for tlrse puipns's."— The amendment was not seconded. — A Her several had spoken in suppoit of the motion, it wa> put and carried. The Assembly rose at 10.15 a.m.

FORT ALBERT AGRICUL TURAL SHOW.

Onl v those persons who Lav c taken a prac tical aud active pait in the work of getting np an agricultural show in one of our northern country settlements, can fairly estimate) the difficulties in the way before the shove is made a successful event. The distance hvm one small set'.letaent to another, and the indifferent means of com munication, render it difficult to gel exhibits together. The funds at the dis posal of the commit'ce of management are not sufficient to enable them to otftr such prizes a.i wi 1 make it worth while of these who show exhibits merel> for i the money, At tbe same time, the cost to tue exhibitors in getting exhibits to the thow is consider bio. As uroof of this, 1 may mcot'on that Messrs Coates, of t'ahi, amt Captain Kye had to charter a schooner and bring their sbeep aid pigs by water a distance o! 40 or 50 miles, and thtn convey the pig-i to the Show "round, a distance of two units, ia a dray, aud for thia work Messrs Coute i get the substantial remunera tion of '• honorable mention" And jet year alter year the Mossrs Coates are to be seen at the Show, giving ample pio>f that they feel a real interest in the business, The previous yea-, the c tame gentlemen attempted to make the journey in an open boat, wi ha number of valuable rams tied in tht. bottom as bal last, aud spent a night in the roclis on the shores of the aiaud but boister ous Kaipa'a. Then the judge*, too, come a long distance, and are conceded the privilege of paying their own travelling ex p :usea and putting in about a week's time co the bargain. There was Mr Mayo, of Drury, acting a* jud^e of the fruit and dairy and field produce, looking as jolly and well pleaied as if he had just come into possession of a legacy, Mow, he bad had a 20 miles' ride fiom Warkw^prtbjtbat morn iog in the rain, to say nothing of the journey from Drury .to Wa'kworth, and for his services he will probably get an invi ta'ion to attend and officiate as judge another year. Tbere was tbe usual votes of thanks, &c, to judges carried, by "acclamation, of cour<e. But then the judges made a lot of friends and-I won't siy enemies. Several of thote taking pr z s I heard say, "'lhe judges knew ■.heir work." 1 here were others, lor some lea-on or other, who d-d not form such a h'gh opinion of the judges. Hut fancy some 20 or 25 plates with 2ibs of butter on each, and asking three gnuUmen to taste tie lot, aud say on which plate wai the best ? And yet the judges were unanimous in declaring the.whole of tbe butter was a credit to the district. ' The work of judging the fruit was not lc*B difficult. The ex hibit of fruit was not a* Urge as at the previous ahow, still it sus tained the character of tbe district a* afi nit-growing ono. Grapes, there were none worm looking at; apples, peagy, and plum" exceedingly good. It is only fair to say that the commut»e did all that was possible to make the Show a success; and the result c.innot be other than gratifying to those who really work for and de.ire the | pro.-pjiity of the district.

Drainage. -The Foreman of Works re ported that several persons relused to con nect with the borough drains, but the rate payers generally were availing themselves ot the diainage, and making the necessary connections.—lt wa* decided that the Fore man fake the names of all parties who are capable o( draining;into the main drain, but who ate unwilling to do so, and that he be authorised to have junctions placed in' all places tba( he may deem necessary; the pinna indicated to be sent to the Engi neer, with a request tbat the matter be promptly attended to. .

Dr. Kenderdine kindly acted as Chairman, and made a brief, characteristic address Mr JSisbett, the working Secretary, read the Annual Kepo<t, which showed that there had been ft gradual in crease in the number of children, and that the average attendance; was about 90.

Monkeys Die op Consumption. So do lions. &nd tigers. This is a Toy important faot as tondinj? to prove that although phthisis is in. many instances distinctly Jic oditary, nevertho less it may be. and frequently is acquired. Such is the pathology of the eminent Dr Graves whose clinical experience and literature are ac cepted as tho highest authority. In late time* the treatment for consumption and bronchial complainU hus become more specif!: and hope ful. Hypophosphito of lime is combined with cod liver oil and quinine. The wonderful eucalyptus is also used with marked efl'e t on bronchial mucous membranes. The combination of these remedies in Aickin'sSyrup of Eucalyptus with Hypophosphite of J line and Quinine has been the undoubted means of affording per manent relief to many sufferers.
