PROCESSIONS IN STREETS.

A special meeting was held by the Borough Council tit Nupitr on Wednesday, 19th August, to consider the proposed by-law rieuling willi proccseions. The Nnpier Teleyrnjih says : "An uniinated discussion took place on Mr. Cornfoirt moving tho adoption of the new by-law. Ho fluid he believed that the desire to prohibit proceggioiis ia the streets, whioh bad led to a

large development of Inrrikinism in the town, was in accord with the views of a majority of the residents, and the question simply wa3 whether tho minority wero to govern the majority, or the majority the minority. The people who believed in the processions were not more than ono per cent, of tho community. Mr. Graham thought the by-law would infringe upon the constitution, ho did not think they bad power to make any such by-law. He would ask all councillors wbo loved freedom to 6et their faces against such a by-law, and he hoped they would put their feet firmly down and oppose such tyranny, and allow tho people some liberty. Mr. Cotton wished the discussion postponed for a fortnight, as he saw a deal of difficulty in passing it without amendment. The whistle of an omnibus driver raisjht be considered music, and the by-law might affect himself as an omnibus proprietor, and he should not like to sco his drivers convicted for blowing their whistles. Mr. Cohen thought every citizen that cared about the welfare of tke district would back up the Council in trying to keep order. No one who had been away from the town for two years would beliove it was the same town as they had loft; they would believe a different class of settlers had arrived. They were not alone in trying to put down the evil, as it was sought to suppress the nuisance everywhere, and in Collingwood (Victoria) it had been put down. Mr. Robjohns remarked nothing had been heard of larrildnism till the Salvation Army began their parades. Mr. Faulknor regretted that the by-law was not to be brought into force at once. Mr. Neal did not believe the Salvation Army had created the larrikinism, but there wna no doubt it brought it out and concentrated it in one place. He thought the consideration of the by-law should bo deferred for a full meeting of the Council, as it dealt with the freedom of the subject. Mr. Cornford having replied, tho by-law was adopted by four votes to two. Holloway's Ointment and Pills. — This Ointment affords tho shortest, safest, and easiest path to soundness in all kinds of skin diseases, scrofulous affections, scorbutic maladies, ulcerations, eruptions and inflammations. There is nothing deleterious in tho composition of Holloway's Ointment, but on the contary, its ingredients possess the most soothing, purifying and strengthening qualities, so that it can be used with perfect safoty by persons of all ages. Tho delicate skin ot infants is not irritated by iU application, and it is equally adapted for subduing the tedious ulcerations attacking tho aged. In all constitutional, chronic, and complex affections. Holloway's Pills should be taken whilst his Ointment is being used, in order thafall baneful matter may be expelled I from the system. 47
