Strtt, com plaining ol injury to his property in Nul- Hon-street by the levels fixed.—Referred to the Legal Committee, Mr Stitt to be in vited to attend. From F. H.

Ho would take'action on Monday it the works were not proceeded with.—Engineer's action sustained.

Edguomub'm I'uoi-kktv.—Correspondence woa read regarding theofTer of this estate to the Council, and a good deal of discussion followed. Mr Edgcombe now offered the property at £11,000, and of this sum he would donate £250 to the Hospital or Refuge.— Tho Major moved "That £10,500 bo oll'ered." — Cr. Devoro said the difference between the Council and Mr Ed^jcombe was very trifling, and he would therefore move as an amendment, "That the Bum of LIOJSO he offered, the oiler to remain open for ono week."—Cr. La Roche seconded.—Cr. Crow ther stated that ho had had sororal interviews with Mr Edgcombe, and that tho property had been offered to him on bohftlf of the Council for L 10.700. He asked Cr. Devore to alter hie amendment to this sum.—Cr. Dovore did so.—Cr. Montague opposed the motion, and asserted that in seven years the water would be polluted. Tho Council would then have to got a supply of water some where else. He thought £10,100 quite onough for the property.—Cr. Garratt thought Mr Edgcombe wanted to get the credit of being liberal in giving £250 to the Hospital, but this would be at the ex pense of tho ratepayers.—The amendment was put, \rhen nine voted for it; for the original motion, nine. The Mayor gave his casting vote for the amendment, which then became the substantive motion. —Cr. Garratt now moved, "That £10,700 bo offered on condition that £200 be given to tho Hospital."—Cr. Aickin eaid that when £13,000 was offered for the estate, this class of land was in greater demand than now. Tho Council should not hesitate any longer on tho matter, as the difference in the price asked and tho sum offered was comparatively trifling. — Cr. Garratt's amendment being put, was lost, and the motion that £10,700 be offered, the offer to remain open for a week, was put and carried.

It was agreed to hear the deputation.—Mr Buchanan stated that some uncertainty ex istod as to the extent of the cutting.—The Mayor said tho resolution of the Counci was to make Hobson-streot tho same grado from Customs-street to Wyndham stroot.—Mr Buchanan said it was thought by many that the cutting should be dono as far as Victoria - street. — Cr. Thompson said the difficulty was as to tho inattor of compensation, as the levels had boon fixed.—After several suggestions had beon made by Councillors and members of tho deputation, Cr. Thomp son moved " That the letter of Mr Nearing be referred to tho Streets Committee, and that the deputation be invited to attend." —Cr Devoro moved as an amendment, "That the deputation be asked to consult among themselves, and coino to the Council with a definite proposal."—The amendment was lost, and the original motion carried.

Mr David Goldie hag received from Opotiki for transmission to Parliament when it meets, a largely signed petition in favour of the present system of secular education, but hostile to the high schools as at present conducted, tho people being of opinion that anything in advance of a plain education should be paid for by those who benefit by it, and not be charged on the revenue of the country. This appears to bo the prevalent feeling in the country districts. The Opotiki petition is one of a number drafted for the same purj pose and circulated in this province. Up wards of 7,000 signatures have been appended to them.

HER SPEECH RESTORED.

Clair View, Inverell, Dec. 10,1883. Messrs Publishers Evening Star.

Dear Siva,—l beg to acquaint you of a marvel lous euro following on the use of St. Jacobs Oil, which has taken place in my own family. lam a poor man with eight children, and for yeara have been a great sufferer from sciatica. My wife was advised to try St. Jacobs Oil. She procured a bottle, and I have been using it ot late with good results, but it is of my eldest daughter, 13 years of. af?e, that I wish to tell Sou. Sheretlredono night, about 4 monthsngo, i her usual good health, but the next morning she could not speak. I thought it was cold, and applied the usual remedies, without effect My wife took her to Inverell to see Dr —, who Bold that it was not a cold, but that her throat was ulcerated low down, and he prescribed cod liver oil and other medicines, and also advised her to inhale tho fumes of Stockholm tar, say ing she might never recovor her speoch again. At the expiration of a fortnight, tho medicine having been finished, another visit to the Dr. was made, who again proscribed for her, but told my wife he had no hope of her ever being able to speak again. Wo began todCßpair, but the day I used tho oil—about throo months after the was taken ill—l persuaded my wife, after wo had retired, to use tho oil. She got up and gave the girl two drops in wator, and rubbed It on hoi throat. Next morning wo were delighted to find that she could talk as well as ever, and has been able to do so ever since.

I remain, gcnUernon, prratef ully yours, JAS. B. HATCHER.

Dear Sir,—Wo embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon the wide-spread reputation this justly esteemed medicine, Dr J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne, has earned for itself, not only in Hindustan, but all over tho East. As a remedy of general utility, we mucli question whether a better is imported into the country, and,we shall be glad to hear of its finding a placo in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and judging from their sale, we fancy their sojurn thore will De but ovancscent. We could multiply instances ad injinitnm of the extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyno in Diarrhcea and Dysentry, Spasms, Cramps, Nouralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a general seda tive, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Cnoleraio Oiarrheea and even more terrible forma of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its surprising -.ontroUing power. We have never used any otberform of this medicine than Collisßrowneß from a firm con vie tion that it is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty wo owe to the profession and the public, as we are of opinion that the substitution of any other than Collis BrO'.
