Securities — The Committee have exercised, great .care in making Advances; no losses have, ooourred during the year;, and they think the amount at credit of "Properties in Liquidation Suspense Account" ample to provide for any lose which may arise in,realising the few securities whloh "had previously been forfeited to the Society.

The share register on 31st March stood thus;-. 7,157 investors shares, producing .weekly, £351 tfg; 1,1111 borrower." shares, producing weeßly, £372 18s .d : 11,5981 shares: weekly income, £73015s 2Jd.

In moving the adoption of the report and accounts, the Chairman referred ta the dividend declared as proof that the opera tions of the Society had been conducted in a satisfactory manner. Considering circumstances which had militated against them, ana also the faot that there was an opposition society in existence, it would appear that they had held their own very well. The Chairman proceeded to com pare the figures for tho year just clesed with those of the previous year, with the result that a satisfactory improvement in business was shown,— It was agreed on the motion of the Chair man, seconded by Mr, James, that the re .port and accounts be received and adopted, and ordered to be printed.—Mr Hammond said it 'was considered by many that the cost of carrying on the institution was a great deal more than it ought to be.

Dear Sirs,—l beg to acquaint you of a marvel lous cure following on tho use of St. Jacobs Oil, which has taken place In my own family.; lam ' a poor man with eight children, and for years have been a great sufferer from sciatica. My wife was advised to try St. Jacobs Oil. She , firocureda bottle, and I have boon using it of ate with good results, but it ia of my eldest1 daughter, 13 years of age, that I wish to-toll Sou. She retired one night, about 1 months ago, | l 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 said that it was not a cold, but that her throat, .was ulcerated low down, and he prescribed'cod ' liver oil and other medicines, ana also advised ' her to inhale the fames of Stockholm t0r, ..u5. .. ing sho mi_fhtnevor reoover her speech again.,. At the expiration of a fortnight, the medicine having been finished, another visit to the Dr. was made, who again prescribed for her, but told my wife he had no hope of her ever being . able to speak again. We began. to despair, but, the day I used the oil—about three months after she-was taken ill—l persuaded my wife, after we had retired, to use the oil. She got up .and | gave the girl two drops in water, and rubbed it on het throat. Next morning we were delighted to find that she' could talk as well as ever, and has been able to do so ever since. . . I remain, gentlemen, gratefully yours, -AS. R. HATCHKR. £100 Reward.
