PUBLIC MEETING.

.RELIEF TO CROWN TENANTS,

A public meeting, convened by Mr J. , Crummy,, was held in tne Sohonlhouse, Ophir, on Thursday evening last, the 28th February. Mr John Pitches, member of tho Vincent ■County Council, was voted to tho chair. We were unable to be present at the meeting, and no report of the proceedings having reached ns, we are not in a position to give the views expressed. We are given to understand, however, that the meeting was well attended, and the very general -opinion was that reliet in some one form or another should be afforded the Crown tenants at this particular juncture. The following resolutions, as passed, were handed to us ;

Moved by Mr Drumtny, and seconded by Mrßurren - “That this meeting is of opinion that some relief should be given the Crown tenants, owing to the failure of the crops and in a great many instances to the high rents paid for their holdings, together with the general depression.” Moved by Mr Barrington, and seconded by Mr Barren—“ That a petition be drawn up, setting forth the relief sought, and forwarded to the House of Representatives through our member, Vincent Pyke, Esq.” i Moved by Mr Collings, and seconded by "■Mr Sloan—“ That a committee of right, with power to add to their number, be elected to carry out tho object, and that each agricultural centre be communicated with, asking their co-operation.” The following Committee were elected Messas Fitches, Harrington, Burren, Lee, Nagloj, Noon, Jenkins, and Drummy.

Holloway’s Pills.— Weakening weather. —The sultry summer days strain the nerves of the feeble and deorepid and disease may cveutuate unless some restorative such as these purifying pills bo found to correct the disordering tendency. Holloway’s medicine gives potency to the nervous system, which is the source of all vital movement, and presides over every action of growth and well being of thejbody no one over estimate the necessity of keeping the nerves well strung or the ease with which those pills accomplish that end. They are the moat unfailing antidotes to indigestion, irregular circulation, sick headache, costiveness, and have therefore attained the largest sale and highest reputation.
