The sittings of the "District Court, before his Honor Judge Weston, wiH commence at 10 o'clock thj? rooming. It has bern arranged to play the return dicker j&i&i, Ifceeftdn v. a*eymanth. op Saturday text, at Greymoaih. The tender of Cassells and party b»s been accepted fqr dririnp tajl-race tunnel for the machine company, Bqatmans. We are sure it will be learned with regret that awing to the illness of Mr Cottterell, it has been necessary to defer for the present the contemplated .vjsit of bis company to Reefton. The Tustin-Time Company, Boatman's, at £he present time affords employment $o nnr wards of forty hands j but the number will be lessened considerably in the course of a few weeks, when the mine is fairly ppened out. The crußhing is proceeding very satiafac* torily. f; The following is the legal opinion given by Mr 0. E. Button on the election of the County Chairman of Westland :— " In reference to the three questions submitted by you for my ppjnion, I beg to submit the following reply \—\. I. think that it is exceedingly ieubtful whether it was competent for the Council to appoint a stranger to be interim Chairman. Tbj* being the first meeting of the Council, and no clerk having been appointed, I think fltue t>l the mesabers should toaye been appointed to act on the occasion. If there ha 4 been a clerk, I think he might have been appointed to take the notes. 2. As there were three persons nominated} and a distinpt rote was taken for the first two, I do not think the election was complete with* out a vote being taken fpr the third. 3. Ido not see any way p,f meeting the difficulty p,f the Council having broken up, without an ad«journment having been agreed upon, or another day appointed for another meeting, except that the Goyfirner should appoint another meeting, and it «een?s yery questionable tq me whether indeed the Governor has power to. 4o so.— Yours truly, 0. JS. Bvrsosj 1 Thesadt^irs was received in Reefton on Saturflay last of the sadden death of Mr Singed, junr., son flf Mr A. Singer, formerly watchmaker, Broadway. It appears that young Singer with others was bathing in the Teremakau at Eumara, on Friday last, when, it is supposed, he was seized 71th cramp, and sutik tp rise no more. The accused was: much respeojed in Reeflop, where fee resided for sometime and made numerous frjends, who we feel jure wjll hear of his nntin.ejjr death tjrieti u»f4gn,ed regret. The annual meeting of the subscribers Q,f the Reeftott Athenaeum', will be held in the readjngnroonvthfß eyening, when the commitfe and other ofljcers of the institution for thp inc^n^ng yeflrwijl be elected. It is the intention, we are informed, fo apply to the County Council, in- conftfrmjty with the provisions of !»he " Counties Act," for v grant in aid, and t^ere is no reason to doubt that immediately the CouncJUs in funds th.c renuest' will be liberally entertained. , The effects of dissipa^ipn- The burning thirst, gnawing in the stomach, headache, nausea, handfcrembling and yakefi^lness, whjoh are the effeots, pf dissipation, are terribly hard | to^lre. F(?r these manifestations of *a ! djsoliered stomach, dituibed brain and j weakened nervous system, as well as for" mental exhaustion and physical fatigue, science never provided a speedier and pleasanter remedy than ÜbOftPHO Woi?E,a Sghxedam Abomatio Sskasvs.
