In reply to the resolution adopted at the public meeting of miners at Dillman’s Town, on Thursday, the 23rd ult., the County Chairman (P. Dungan, Esq.) has kindly forwarded to us by post to-day, a copy of the Minister of Mines’ reply. It is as follows : To P. Dungan, Esq., County Chairman. I have made full inquiries as to publication of Regulations, and find that intimation of Warden’s decision was given in open Court. No other notification is required. I trust miners will recognise that I have done what is best in the interest of all, and accept it as final decision. I cannot, therefore, promise rehearing, as you require. W. Rolleston. Wellington, May 31, 1884. We understand the Warden (J. Giles, Esq.) has this day forwarded a letter to Mr John White on this subject. The City of Sydney, with English and European mails via San Francisco, arrived at Auckland at four o’clock yesterday afternoon. Louis Lousich, one of the sufferers by the dynamite explosion at Hayes Terrace, and who lost his fore-arm in consequence, is going on well as far as his injuries are concerned, but we are sorry to hear that he is now suffering from delirium tremens, caused no doubt partly from the result of the accident, but, in the doctor’s opinion, accelerated through the excitement caused by swarms of visitors, who take no denial and slip in as opportunity occurs. A bolt has been fixed on the door, and we trust that the good sense of the public will prevent that bolt being necessary to exclude them. The other patient, John Stanich, has been discharged into the convalescent ward. Mr E. T. Robinson, Secretary to the Westland School Commissioners, will be in attendance at Spindeler’s Crown Hotel, this evening, from 7 to 9 o’clock, for the purpose of receiving balances of payment on account of purchases of sections at the recent sales of land. The adjourned meeting of bachelors who met on business pertaining to “a plain question with a round term ” will be resumed at 8 o’clock this evening, in the Masonic Hall. Mr Seddon, M.H.R., will address the electors of Kumara at the Theatre Royal, to-morrow evening, at eight o’clock. Commander Edwin wired to-day at noon:—“Bad weather may be expected between north-east and north and west; glass further fall ; and rain after 16 hours from now.” Letters of Naturalisation under “The Aliens Act, 1880,” have been issued in favour of Sten Gustavus Bergstrom, Kumara.

A Wise Deacon. —“ Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell me how you kept yourself and family so well the past season, when all the rest of ns have been sick so much, and have had the doctors running to us so often.” “Brother Taylor, the answer is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in time, and kept my family well, and saved large doctors’ bills. Four shillings’ worth of it kept us all well and able to work all the time, and I will warrant it has cost you and most of the neighbours £lO to £IOO apiece to keep sick the same time. I fancy you will take my medicine hereafter.” See We believe that if every one would use Hop Bitters freely there would be much less sickness and misery in the world, and people are fast finding this out, whole families keeping well at a trifling cost by its use. We advise all to try it. Read
