Brewers. Messrs, wilson and birch, BREWERS, MALTSTERS, AND BOTTLERS, Respectfully inform the Public that during last session of the General Assembly a Coni* mittee was appointed to examine into and report by analytical examination, upon Ales, mnes, and Spirits exposed for sale. Amongst other Ales submitted for examination was a sample of our Ale then in use in Wellington. The following report of Dr Hector is the result pf the inquiry : “No drugs of any kind were found.in this beer by the most delicate tests. From the result of the analysis it appears that while the quantity of solid organic substances in the beer is small, that of the alcohol is undoubtedly high. In respect to the amount of organic or extractive matter, this sample compares with the Belgian and Darmstadt beers, while in regard to alcohol it nearly approaches to the Burton ales. (Signed) “J. HECTOR.” Election Notices; TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF DUNEDIN. GENTLEMEN,— At the request of several friends and electors, I beg to offer myself as a Candidate to fill the seat now vacant for your City, in the Provincial Council. Previous to the day of election, I will have the honor to address you on Provincial Politics. Soliciting your coulideuc;, I am, Faithfully yours, C. S. REEVES. Dunedin, Oct. 22, 1870. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY. GENTLEMEN,—! am sorry that business of importance calls me away from town for a few days, thereby depriving me of the opportunity of addressing yon personally on the day of nomination.'; |n asking you to support me as member for the Provincial Council in the room of Mr Bell, la e member for the City, as the Press is the only medium through which I can address you, I will ende vour to give you an outline of what I conceive to be necessary for the future well-being of the Province. Gentlemen, in the Assembly I gave my adherence to the reuniting of Otago with Southland : should you elect me I will use my best endeavouVs to consummate this ar* rangement on the best and most equitable basis. I am in favor of and will use my best endeavours to facilitate the immediate construction of the Dunedin and Clutha Pailway. I am also in favor of a survey being made of a line to connect Dunedin with Tuapeka, and will use all legitimate means to have the latter work established, if not contemporaneously, as soon as practicable, a'ter the Clutha line. I am also in favor of having a line surveyed so as to connect Mocraki with Waita’ i, believing that the whole of the above works are necessary for the development of the resources of the Province. lam in favor of opening up blocks of land on Gold Fields by deferred payments on-an annual rental of 2s (kl per acre towards purchase money to extend over a period of eight years. 1 am in favor of fostering and encouraging a large mining and agricultural population on our shores, and would support a measure giving greater extent of commonage to populations surrounding Goldfields’ townships. I am in favor of, and will support a branch trlegraph line, connecting Dunedin with Martin’s Bay, and would support giving a subsidy to any company that would run a steamer once a month. I am in favor of free selection of laud throughout the Province ; the same conditions to be adopted as the land laws of ( tbe country, together with defeired payments, and I ani of opinion that until some such scheme is adopted, the Province cannot progress. Regarding City matters, I will u&e my best efforts to prevent the Water of Leitli making further on'Cfity property, and more especially will try to conserve the remnant left of the bid Botanic Gardens. I have thus shadowed forth a few of "the probable questions which will come on for discussion during the special session of the Provincial Council, shortly to be called together, and if you think me worthy of your confidence, by returning me as your member I will give the above and all other subjects affecting the Province my careful and unbiassed consideration. 1 am, Gentlemen, Tours very respectfully.
