DAMAGE BY CATTLE.

('To the Editor of the Patea Mail.) Sik,—At a meeting of the Education Board, held on the sth instant, a motion was carried that the Secretary write to me, stating that the Board made me responsible for all damage done by cattle to the fences of the school reserve.

Now, I ask, Mr Editor, why the Board should hold me responsible, when they must know that I own but a small portion of the cattle running loose in the district. Is it because I pay over eighty pounds (£80) per annum as rental to the Board, while others, enjoying the same advantages as myself, pay nothing? If so, the sooner there is an alteration the better. Besides, I am in a position to prove that the greater part of the damage done is from cattle belonging to one of their own body, and a settler living close to the reserve; and, further, what right have the Board to call upon one to repair damage done until they have erected proper fences for the protection of the reserve. It is punishing others for their own neglect. A public pound should be established, when it would soon be proved who were the delinquents.—l am, &c., THOMAS DELAMOEE. Kakaramea, Nov. 9, 1877.

Strangers and country settlers coming to Carlyle, are very often at a loss to know which is the best and cheapest General Drapery and Clothing Establishment in the district, E. A. Adams’ Cardigan House, offers special advantages that can be met with nowhere else in the district. He keeps the largest and best assorted stock of every description of drapery goods, imported direct—and from the best colonial houses ; which, being bought on the most advantageous terms, and having thorough knowledge of the business, enables him to offer goods of sterling quality at prices that cannot be improved on by any other house in New .Zealani. • Every article is marked in plain fignrev, from which there is no deviation ; so that inexperienced people arc as well served, as the best judges, the terms being net cash, without rebate or abatement of any kind. Note the address—R. A. Adams ; Cardigan House, nearly opposite Town Hall, Carlyle.— advt.
