CASHMERE BILLS SETTLEMENT.

The first public meeting held in connection with- the settlement of the lands adjacent to the Governor's Bay rood was very largely attended a few nights since. The meeting was convened, by circular, •sent out by Messrs El G. Way and W. Guise Brittan. Representatives from nearly every family upon the hillside were present. The meeting was held in Mr John Bobinson'e house. Mr T. E. Taylor was appointed chairman, and the three matters of interest to the settlement were thoroughly discussed. Upon the motion of Mr Way, seconded by Mr Inwood, a. committee, consisting ol Messrs Evans, Inwood, Brown, Smith, and Way was appointed to obtain information as to the amount of subscriptions which might be expected, and also to obtain an architect's &Jfetch plan and estimated cost of & suitable church building, to be erected upon'the site granted by the trustee* of the Cashmere Estate for the use of the Anglican communion. The following resolution was also pan* cd:—"That the provision of efficient school accommodation for the children of the Cashmere Hills is of great importance, and this meeting is of the opinion- that the erection of a, echool building should immediately receive the cordial support of those present, and that Messrs' Way, Wilkinson, Robinson, Taylor, and Thompson be appointed to investigate tfce ways and means of providing , same."

Dear Sir,—Allow mc, through the medjum of your columns, to give my own experience regarding the methods now before the public for the relief and cure of Rupture. For the past twenty-five years I- have suffered from a bad scrotal rupture on niy left tide. I tried every kind oS trass that gave the faintest hope of reHef, but gradually got woite. Twelve months ago I adopted a treatment with on elactic truss, to be worn day, end night, and o, lotion to be rubbed in. I acted according to directions, bet, instead of it curing. mc, I got worse under the treatment, , the agony being sometimes indescribable. While in this deplorable condition the advertisement- of Dr. J. A. Sherman's Method caught my eye in the paper*, and three weeks ago I consulted Mr Martin, at the Clarendon Hotel. I am happy to say that there and then I found the relief I bad been longing for. The appliance is the most comfortable one I ever wore; in fact, I don't feel it oo mc. Already I feel quite a different man, and' have enjoyed better health these few weeks than I have done for years. Hence you will see why I appreciate Mr Martin's services, and I feel it my duty to make this paMic; declaration, that other* affected may know-"-where to obtain relief, and avoid the delay and suffering from experiments each as I for Jong years experienced. Apart from Mr • Martin's undoubted skill as a specialist in Rapture, it> is , a pleasure to add that he is one of UhJ most -straight-forward gentlemen I- have ever met. • I am, yours trojy, WILLIAM BATES, 8 Furniture .Manufacturer.
