COUNTRY NEWS. WAifiL (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WAIHI, this day. A strong outburst of feeling has been shown here during the past week concerning the appointment of borough engineer at the first meeting of the Council, without calling for applications and giving others the opportunity of applying for the position. Some ratepayers urge that the Councillors and Mayor who voted for the appointment have broken faith with them, having promised, it is alleged,- that they would not countenance the instant appointments of any officials under the Borough. The appointment was only made on the casting vote of the Mayor. So great is the feeling now that two gentlemen have been requisitioned ib stand for the Mayoralty at the election taking place oft the 30th inst. It is not probable, however, that any candidates will be forthcoming to contest the election against Mr W. H. Phillips, the present Mayor. PAEROA. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) PAEROA, this day. The annual picnic of the Public School and St. Joseph's Convent School was held on Saturday oh the racecourse, and was a great success.

The committee of ladies deserve great credit for the excellent arrangements made, anfi they were ably assisted by the whole staff of teachers. The Coaching Company and others who gave coaches and all sorts oi conveyances free to convey children tc and fro also deserve thanks. MEDIC AX. w||j|sk Like the fliglit of the svriftest bird is the progrtsss of a hacking cougb •' into consumption. First a cold, then a settled cough, then slo-vv fever, night sweats, and hemorrhages. Don't neglect your cough. Stop it at once and drive away all thought of consumption. Begin, as early as possible—the sooner the better —to take Ayer's the most effective remedy for coughs Of fcvery kind and in every stage. One of the niost annoying coughs is a throat cough, where you Bave that constant tickling in your throat; It comes on worse at night, keeps jfo'n awake, and makes you have that smothered feeling in the chest; It hardly seems possible ifrhat one dose of Gherry Pectoral will do for this kind of a cough, it brings such marked relief. Put up in large and small bottles. When the cough gets down deep in the chest and the lungß are painful, put one of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Plasters directly'ovot the tender lung. It will draw ouirall the soreness. Pressured by Dr. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell. Mass.. U. S. A. INDIGESTION RELIEF. FROM FIRST DOSE. DIGESTIVE POWDERS, Price, 2/6 per packet Hi KING-. Chemist, Queen-st.
