A spcci.il meeting of above body took plac e at the Council Chambers on Monday last. Present Messrs J. Edgar (chairman) T. Hicks. F.H.Daniel, J. Douglas and Mr J. Malaaghan. Harbor Board Election. It was proposed by Dr Douglas, seconded by MrMalaghan and carried—that Mr J. 0. M'Ardeil be elected a member of the Bluti' Harbor Board to represent Lake County. Millers Flat Road. The report read from the County Engineer recommended that the mad by C. Johnston's for which tenders had been received at last meeting, should be adopted, as the proposed deviation by Scotts would in addition to cutting, necessitate also the construction of a bridge. The engineer, however, recommended that a portion of the proposed deviation frnn Speargrass Flat to Arrow should be formed and gravelled for some 1850 links. Ordered that the last named work should stand over till next meeting, but it was resolved on the motion of Dr Douglas and Mr Hicks —That \V.

Neill, Treasurer and Secretary respectively, for the ensuing yeir.—The W >rk at the bridge progresses slowly and it is to be hoped that no unnecessary clelry may now take place in its being pushed on to completion. —The forthcoming election causes very little stir at present, but, doubtless, as the d.iy of polling approaches the dormant energies of our "-free and independent" will be reanimated, and onu considerable excitement may be expected.—The Crops now betoken a speedily approaching harvest, and with peasonable weather our fanners will be busy with the reaper in about a fortnight or so.

HoUoway's Pills.—The Liver, the Stomach, ami their ailments.—Alterations of temperature, muggy weather, a troubled mind, habits, excesses of the table, and a gay, reckless mode of ! life exert the most deleterious influence over the I liver and stomach. When once these organs are . fairly out of order, great inroads are quickly made j on the general state of the health : the constitut.on, ! which hid been deprived of two of its noblest org m.s I soon gives way, and diseases f_jickly follow, trom which, if neglected, the worse consequences will j inevitably result. If a course of Holloway'a ; celebrated Pills be persevered in, all will be well again, as they are the finest ro r rectives of the blood ever known, and a certain cuie for all disorders of | the liver and btotuacu.
