TOWN & COUNTRY

■ The following is Rev. D: C. Bates's weather summary for yesterday:— "An area of westerly low pressure rules, but probably owing to the existence of two storm centres , of similar nature the wind and weather conditions have been somewhat neutralised. Tho weather has been cloudy and foggy generally. Present indications are for cloudy, misty, and unsettled weather, with rain probable generally. The barometer is likely to fall further, but is due ;to rise by to-morrow night. Expect northwesterly winds, changing to southwesterly and colder weather following, with snow On the higher levels in the south," ■> Owing to pressure on our s,pace two letters dealing from opposite points of view with the liquor traffic are held over for Monday's issue We have it on reliable authority that a settlement of the difficulty in connection with the South Canterbury Acclimatisation Society has been arrived at, and that it will not now be necessary to take tho case to the' Supremo Court. A meeting was held yesterday morning, when the settlement (to be confirmed at a further meeting on Monday) was arrived at. We understand the arrangement is that Messrs Aspinall, Pridham' .ind McCallum have resigned as members of. the Council, while Messrs l Taylor, and Lysaght have agreed to withdraw their claims to be members of the Council, on condition that the three first named gentlemen arc telocted- When they are so elected by the other members of the Council everything will he on a sound legal footing. _ Hockey notes by.

Many inquiries having been made as in whether fancy dress will he necessary for tile children's day in connection with the hospital ball, the committee decided yesterday to n _ .akc tho wearing of fancy dress optional. When using lirtimerits or oilier ot.tBalo remedies for stiffness, rleum,'turn, etc., it is always necessary to rub tho Btuff "well in." As ii matter o: absolute fact it is tho nibbing and not tho stuff that is put on outside, the sVin that U'emovcts the trouble. There is a limit, however, to the amount of force that cart be put into c.ind or Jiia-ssa.ge. Tho Veedtie. Vibrator will do all that rubbing can do and a iot more because it is so much more powerfulTho penetrative massage given out by the machine stirs up tho circulation and dispels the congestion around the affected parts in a way no outward application of drugs could do.

Half-a-crown was left afc the "Herald" Office yesterday towards the Robinson fund. Nominations for the South Canterbury Hunt Steeplechase races, to be held on tho 30th inst., close with the secretary (Mr Innes-Jones) on Thursday next. Search the town, hut it will be in ■vain, for botier values than R. Hannah and Co., Timaru, are offering just now. ... Liberality towards religious organisations in England, does not appear to bo a small th.ng. Tho Methodists have just raised £270,000 for mission work, the Baptists received £250,000 as a sustentation fund to ensure a minimum stipend for all ministers, the Cohgregationalists subscribed another quarter of a million for a similar purpose, and about £BO,OOO as a special contribution to the London Missionary Society; and tho Church of Scotland has been engaged in collecting £180 ; 000 as a-pen-sion fund for ministers. The sudden death of the Rev. Silvester Home, M.P., was not unexpected. A year ago a London medical specialist pronounced Mr Home to be a-prematurely-old man. For years he had consistently overstrained himself, with the consequence that all vessels had hardened, throwing a strain upon tho heart that that organ was unequal to bearing. It was this staggering medical verdict (says the London "Christian World") that led Mr Home to withdraw from ■\Vhitefiekl ! s, and 'spend the summer and autumn of last year resting in Shropshire. He relinquished his ministry, though- it was his intention to resume an active pastorate, and he took his parliamentary duties more lightly than had been his custom. In March last, Mr Home, again saw a specialist, who reported more favourably hut intimated that if a general election should come this summer he,must not face the strain of the electoral contest. Just before Easter Mr and Mrs Silvester Home left England for New -York for a health trip, with which was combined, the delivery •at Yale -of the Lyinan Beeclier Lectures—on "The Romance of Preaching." On leaving Yale, Mr Home was to proceed to Canada, where he was to preach and speak for the hood Movement. En route, Mr and Mrs Home spent the d£y at Niagara Falls, and then took the Lake Ontario steamer at Lewiston- for Toronto, where Mr Horrie was due to preach next day. ! It- was on this short voyage that he had a fatal heart seizure. As tho boat entered tike harbour the capr tain found him dead in a chair. Another cable says that ho fell dead at Mrs Home's feet. No matter how delicate the stomach, you cad take Baxter's Egg Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, for it is a most palatable blending of pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil with the Hypophosphates of Lime and Soda.
