WAITARA.

Tfkom our own correspondent.] April 28. — The householders meeting was held here on Monday evening, and the large school was crammed. The Chairman of the Committee, (Mr J. R. Clark), opened the meeting and proposed that Mr John Elliot take the chair, which was earned. Mr Clark read a very comprehensive report of the work of the Committee during the past year. This was duly carried, and the meeting was then about to proceed with the nominations when Air T. Bayly rose and asked that the report be re-read for the benefit of those who were late. After much time had been spent arguing that matter, Mr Bayly asked why thu petition of 51 householders regarding the late schoolmaster of the West School had not been acknowledged. Mr Clark explained that it was an oversight, but quite unintentional on the part of the Committee. Several persons asked that the meeting should go on 'A'ith the business, and a lively time w.is the result. Mr Bluck explained the reasons why he sent his protest against the re-appoin(ment of Mr Pun lie a^ mabtur of tlie school. Afterwaids Mr Clark put to the meeting a motion fiom Mr Bayly, seconded by Mr W. Free, " That Mv Elliot leave the chair and another chairman bo appointed" which was lost.

The new Committee met immediately after the election and reelected, for the fourth time, Mr J. R. Clarke us Chairman.

Hollovvay's Ointment and Pills are beyond all doubt the most valuable and most convenient medicines that travellers can take across the seas to distant climes, for change of climate and the new conditions and surroundings of life to which they will be exposed will assuredly give rise to great disturbances of the system and to such especial morbid states of the blood and constitution generally as will render the use of these effectual remedies highly necessary, for they will find in them a ready and safe means of relief in most of the diseases which afflict the human race, and with them at hand they may be said to have, a physician always at their call.
