WADESTOWN ROAD RE SERVE.

10 THE IDIT B. Sib—l should esteem it a favour if jou can find space for this protest against the recklesß manner in which the abuve reserve is being mutilated. Threo weeks ago we had a reserve whioh was not only pleasant to look upon, but also afforded shelter from the winds (especially at the road-side), no matter from which quarter it blew. To-day we have a group of piuus insignit, d la muabroom, between the bolea of which during the existing gales the wind cornea with terrific force. About the time mentioned (three weeks ago) a man with an axe was turned loose among the treea, apparently with no other instructions than to cut, for no marking waß done. He has been cutting ever since in an aimless sort of way, as though nnable to judge what the effect would be until the tree was down, when, good or bad, it was all the same. The whole proceeding ia on all-fours with Mayne Reid'a Irishman, who conld not for the life of him pronounce an opinion on a demijohn of whisky until he had demolished the last drop, when he deolared it was best when he started, and wanted it all back. Po with our reserve—it was beßt before he started. A little judicious trimming would have been beneficial, but the present style is wholesale destruction. I am informed that the instructions for the performance of this work were given by a private gentleman, who has no official authority to justify his action. I hope it is not true, but if it is, where are the City Council and Reserves Committee? Where, too, is the Scenery Preservation Society? Bit by bit (and sometimes by acres) our wooded land around Wellington is being cleared, and when it is gone there will be s_eh lamentations, and " Had we only known!" Lot the Preservation Society take steps to get the bush at Crofton and along the KaiwaTra Stream preserved—bnsh which we can never replace if once destroyed—and they will indeed be public benefaotora. Cab shelters arid boathouses can be attended to at any time, bnt unless immediate steps be taken to permanently protect the last few beauty spots in the district there will be matter for everlasting regret. Trusting these rambling remarks may draw attention to a matter of more importance than one is always apt to allow, ' I am, &0., Wadestown. Ckbtainlt the best medicine known is Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract. Teat its eminently powerful effecta in oonghs, colds, influenza—the relief ia instantaneous. In ecriouß cases, and accidents of all kinds, be they wounds, burns, scaldings, bruises, sprains, it ia the safest remedy— no swelling, no inflammation. Like surprising effeots produced in croup, dipthcria, bronchitis, inflammation of the lungs, swellings, Ao.; diarrhoea, dysentry, diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs. In use at hospitals and medical clinics all over the globe; patronised by His Majesty the King of Italy; crowned with medal and diploma at International Exhibition, Amsterdam. Trust in this approved article, and reioot all others.—Advt.
