MEETING OF NEWMARKET RATEPAYERS.

A meeting of tho ratepayors of tho New market Highway District was hold at tho Newmarket Hall last evening, W. J. Suiter presiding. The meeting was convened by a resolution of the Board, the business being tho consideration of means for providing a drainage system and water supply for the district. There was but a moderate attendance. The Secretary read tho minute of the meeting of the Board authorising the Chairman to call the meeting.—The Chairman then referred to the hitherto unsuccessful attempt mn.de to secure drainage and water, and proceeded .to refer to the desirability of draining tha district and providing a water supply. He had on three occasions publicly stated his views on this all - important matter. There are three courses open to them, (1) to-form a small borough, (2) to form a town board, and (3) to join the city. There appears to bo a strong feeling against joining the city (hear, hear), and the great objection to the forming of a town board was, they were liable to a country rate. Tho only course "open seemed to be to form the district into a borough, when they would have control over all their local revenue, and be able to raise money for drainage and water by borrowing. Money was now cheap and easily obtained. He referred to tho growing importance of the district, which had now a population of 1,400, and was tho centre of the railway system, both North and South. He mentioned that Mr Clayton, who hitherto had been a strong opponent to the advancement of the district, had. moved the motion at tho Board convening this meeting.—Mr Clayton, in a lengthly speech, denied that his views had changed. Tho Chairman's private views were that they should join the city, but the speaker strongly advised them not to do so. Tho people of Ponsonby now regretted the step they had taken. He moved "That tho district do not join the city, but remain a highway district."— Mr La Roche seconded.—The Chairman said that this was not a resolution at all. His sontiment was that as the people were averse to joining the city, tho next best course should be udopted.—Mr La Kocho urged that tho resolution should be received, and after some discussion, the Chairman accepted it.—Mr McColl moved as an amendment: " That tho time has now arrived when it is necessary to provide drainage and water for Newmarket."—Mr Taito socondod.—The Chairman ruled that this was not an amondmont.—The motion was then put, and carried by 22 to 11. —Mr McColl's amendment was then put as a motion, and was carried.— The Chairman repeated what he had before said against tho formation of a town board. Ho was of opinion that if a small borough was formed, it could be worked almost as economically as a high way district £5,000 or £6,000 borrowed money would bo sufficient at present. The intorest, at C por cent., would bo equal to one year's rate, but ho thought they all agreed with him that tho district would bo undor-ratod, and he thought that a rato of 2s in tho £ was all that would be ro quired. He had tho assurance from some meinbors of the Government, that if a small borough were formed, thoy would afford every facility for raising the money.—Mr G. T. Kootley moved, " That tho Road Board bo instructed to take the necessary steps to have Newmarket formed into n borough under the Municipal Corporations Act."—Mr Ewards seconded. —Mr Morris moved, as an amendment, which was understood to mean that the district remain as a highway district.— Mr Clayton said if that is what is meant ho would second the amendment.— Mr Ball strongly supported tho motion. Ho said all tho districts round about were going ahead, and why should Newmarket remain stationary ? Newmarket is now unhealthy, and people would not come to live in tho district.—Mr Bishop advocated progress, and said Mr Clayton had always been an obstruction to the progress of the place.— Mr McColl said ho was not wedded either to join the city or form a borough, but ho wanted drainage and water. Under the present system it took all their revenue to get scoria for the footpath and the roads. If an epidemic arose, the very pecple who were now opposing progress would be the first to feel it, as the rents would soon come down. He strongly sup ported the motion.—The Chairman having spoken in favour of the motion, Mr Morris withdrew his amendment, and the resolu tion was put and carried unanimously, The proceedings terminated with th e cus . ternary compliment to the Chairman.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND WRITING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The vexed question of the style of writing to be taught in the Public Schools came up at yesterday's meeting of the Board of Education. Mr Carr moved, "ThatVere Foster's system be not compulsory after the pupils have passed the Fourth Standard.' Mr Carr, in introducing the subject, said he should not have much to say at present, as the question had been freely discussed by members of the Board. He then urged his reasons in support of the motion; the teachers could not speak out fully on the subject, and it would be a hardship upon children comingfromEngland and other, colonies to be compelled |to turn to this system. He never believed in one man's system of writing, and he was in favour of receiving suggestions in a friendly spirit from all persona interested in educa tion, and the suggestions of the City Schools' Committee should then be received. Mr Moat opposed any change from the pre sent approved system, which, he considered, would not prove of general advantage. The Chairman said they must adoptsome system. Mr Moss said Mr Carr was mistaken in supposing that the teachers were afraid to give utterance to their opinions on this system. He spoke very positively, because he knew from a wide knowledge of the teachers that it was not the case. Professor Aldis made a few remarks, when Mr Carr's motion, with the addition of "unless in writing for copies," was carried.

TIMARU SUPREME COURT.

(BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT. )

Timaru, tliis day. At the Supreme Court yesterday, D. Tay lor, for embezzlement (a case that had stood over from last session) was acquitted, the jury having been locked up all night. Jos. Dyer was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for larceny of a cheque. Sentence in this case had been reserved pending the Judge's decision as to the queß tion of valuable security. His Honor now held that he must regard the cheque stolen, although never provided for at the bank as a valuable security. In the civil action, Kott v. Goodby, for £555, cost of a ball and supper on September 16, in celebration of the coming of age of Mr Timaru Rhodes, the plaintiff had paid in £370, being at the rato of £1 per head for the guest", and declined to pay tho balance till furnished with the items. This plaintiff declined to do, on the ground that such was not the custom of the trade. Finally, defendant having inspected a memorandum of particu lars which plaintiff had drawn up for his own guidance, agreed to pay the disputed amount—viz., £185, and £50 costs.

Wonders of the Age

Why is it so many people &ro never satisfied? Their homes are marvels of comfort and luxury, friends are generous and affectionate; they are educated and refined, capable, notonly of enjoying, but of imparting happiness to others; yet they are dissatisfied, miserable, and, really without intending to do so, make others miserable. Their blood is impure, they have taken a heavy cold, or they are bilious. A few doses of Emil Frese's Hamburg Tea would remove all obstructions, and enable them to enjoy, with renewed zest, the pleasures they are now compelled to forego.

The Symptoms Entirely Dis appeared.

Sydney, February 13,1881,

Dear Sir,—About a month ago I was advised to use your Hamburg Tea for a severe attack of indigestion from which I was suffering;. For some time previously I had been afflicted with pains in the liver and stomach, and constant headache and oppression. Since taking the Hamburg Tea these symptoms have entirely disappeared, and I have never since been troubled with them. I have every confidence in recommending it, and have witnessed its use in other cases with like result.—Yours faithfully, James S, Donovan. I

Levy & Co., Auckland,' Dear Sirs,—About a fprtnight ago I severely sprained my shoulder, and oould not without pain lift my hand to my mouth.1 Several times a day I had St. Jacobs Oil well rubbed in, which . considerably helped my recovery, and. I am again able to take 'gentle dumb-bell exercise. I may also state that I and many other athletes ■'■: whom I know when competing in rowing, Iran ning, or any athletic competitions, and h!avingf to compete more than once with a short intermix sion between each race, have the Oil well rubbed into the liiftbs ; 'this takes the cramping and tired feeling from the muscles that always ensues for a while after hard work, and brings a man quite f reßh to the scratch 'again. , While recommending the Oil to Mr Burgess, Captain of the North Shore Rowing Club, he told me I must not expatiate to him about an old friend of his: he assured mo that he was - sure that his doing (is I recommended had won him several races at past Regattas.
