Several prominent rcsidontu pointed out the necessity of having a board for tho carrying out of tlio propo« sed Bcheme. About 800 people were present, and were practically unanimous in supporting the following rosoltttHn, proposed by Mr John JJeck:~"siac this meeting is strongly of opinion that to ontruet tho City Council with tho uncontrolled expenditure ot £166,000 for drainage purposes would be highly iin. prudent, and the meeting pledges itself tu vote against tho loan proposals on Monday, and not to support any large expenditure of money for drainage until a duly constituted drainage board haß •» been formed to deal with the complete sanitation of the City of Wellington.'' Last yoar tho Wolseloy Sheep .Shear-

ing Maohine was in uso on about'twonty five sheep stations In this Colony, while in Australia it was to be found in very many sheds, indeed, as many as eighty and ninety machines being carried on ono station, in aomo instances. Tho work done, and tho results shown, appear to have satisfied everybody- bath owners and men. It Ib said that learners can slioar up to one hundred sheep a day with a Wolseley machine, while during

full weeks, a daily averago of 115 to 117 or so seems to have been repeatedly maintained. The record for last season was established by a Now South Wales man, who shore 247 sheep In a day of eight hsun, thirty five good work I The advantages of rAvSJns shearing have boen universally ad« ■* mittcd in Australia, end testimony is uniform as to a clear gain in wool, freedom from cuts on the sheep, and a genoral superiority over hand

shears. One station owner, writing from New South Wales, declares there is no comparison between the condition of wool shorn by tho machine and that taken off by tho ordinary shears; and this statement is endorsed yi« peatodly by those who hare bad 9$ v porience of tho Wolseley Maohines; while the increased and superior clips quickly pay the entire cost of the machinery and soon leave a handsome, surplus. Messrs Levin and 00,, who are the Wellington agents for this note, worthy invention, have big business before them, for the "Wolseley" has yet to figure largely in this province, before shearing is on a satisfactory foot* tan. Aran the deluge of waters we have gxi

perienccd for the last two months wo may hope that now "Spring, mild otherial spring," will visit tho land and prove, to be no transient guest, Everyono wants fins woather. Everyone wads to see the radiant sunshine, and every laJy in the city is doubtless most anxious to see the \yWor. f ul and attractive spring fashions out at To Aro House, We may say that wo have been greatly pleased with our new spring goods, and wo are quite sure that they will meet with tho approbation of our customers, We shall be happy to show them to all visitors, without unduly soliciting them to buy, We have a very large quantity of the newest spring fashions, in all departments, ready for in* spectionatTe Aro House, Ladies would no doubt be pleased to inspect these beautiful goods, and make an early selection.

Our readors (ire again reminded of Mr 6.
