At the monthly meeting of the South Canterbury Pfjard, h»J4 in Tiraarn on Tuesday, a report, %n drawn up by a sub-pommittee appointed to enquire how, in their opinion, cases could be beet dealt -with. The comrnitfcee fudly epdorsed the view , by Df. Jiunro. wbo iwut broug-ht the matUr under Board's notice, that on grounds of humanity and in the interests of public heilth., suitable home* shpuld be provided for the treatment of consumptives. They recommended tjw Bpard to bring the same under the notice of the Government with a view to legislation, and also to ask tn» cooperatiw of ot-her similar bodies. The report was unanimously approved by the Board, who deo&ted to instruct the eecretary to write to the Government »nd alj local authorities in the South Island, asking them to support the reoomaiendatipiis of the Board in regard! to the treatment of consumptive. A IiONG~DRIFT. On Raturday afternoon, states the Dunedin "Star," Mr Mitchell, of the Bluff, with his son*, was on the beach near New River Heads, toward* the bar, and about half a mile south of the site of the old jetty, -when he picked up a bottle containing a message front the sea. The message showed the battle ttaji been cast overboard fron* the ship SHvercrag at 5 p.m. on January 3rd, 189&, in lat. 47deg. &, lone. 41 W., the «hrp bejng bound frpm Sydney to London. The mesjage, which bears th* signature of James Injcster, the master, i* one of the slip which are issued to ehipmastflrs by the Government Astronomer at Sydney, and will be forwarded to him. by Mr MitcbeJ]. The bottle wat thrown tiverboard after the ship had rounded Gap Horn, and ~W&a between 4wO and 500 mike north-east of the FaJkknds. It has travelled across the South Atlantic with the current, which eets to the eastward, across the Southern Ocean, and finally caught by some eddy current, land«d in the New River estuary. Another stretch of about 4000 milm would have taken it back to its starting point, and the world would have been circuited. Seafaring men at the Bluff regard trip as a. good one in the time. While the waif has no doubt made, m»nv minor deviations, it is not a little singuwr that its general coarse should have been only 35 miles, north of due east.
