GORRESPONDENCE.

SETTLED AND SWACGKH. THE STATION MANIFESTO, [to the editor,] Sib,—The majority of your readers arc no doubt aware that for several years past, strenuous effort have been made, with a view of separating the Wairarapa Districts from the Wc'.l"igton Charitable Aid Boird, and how these efforts have been continually frustrated by the organised opposition of City members. Tims, in addition to being compelled by law to contribute annually to me funds of the "Wellington Charitable Aid Hoard, we are doubly taxed through the recognised custom of such boards, in shirking the'r responsibilities by driving the unemployed out into the country to subsist on settlers who can ill-afford this additional burden. When it became known that the bill introduced last session, had been killed in committee, several settlers announced their intention to no longer accommodate swaggers, and others have since followed suit. The ' travelling circle' has thus been nairowcd to within certain limits, the strain becoming greater on those who haTC continued to give accommodation. We regret being compelled to insert the ! notice, which now appears in your columns, but there seems no alternative. Many of us arc so situated as to ofien have great dilllculty in obtaining supplies of stores at short notice, and while prepared to bear our share of the burdens of the day, wo strongly object , to this system of" doubly taxing coun- ' try settlers," Our lcgislationhas, in its wisdom, decided that "we shall not support our own poor," Wc bow to the inevitable, and arc prepared to face direct taxation in the shape of a pour fate which will full cfiikhly m all classes of'thecommunity, ,—Wo pre, etc., Fued. Moons Fred W. Hales F. E. Tatham D. CiMEROiN John Cameron Henry ft. Bunny William Cooper, AEE YOU AFFLICTED ( with DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION, KIDNEY TIiOUBLES, BACKACHE, ACHING LIMBS, or LIVED COMPLAINT? If so.safe remedies are within your reach at a nominal cost. CLEMENTS TONIC and FLETCHEIt'S PILLS have never yet failed to cure the worst cases. General debility, nervousness, weakness, and general complaints of the digestive and nervous systems are promptly cured by these reliable remedies. They ato prepared by scientific processes, and arc not merely mechanical mixtures made only to "gull the public." The renown CLEMENTS TONIC and FLETCHEII'S PILLS have won in Australasia is proof of the fact that they stand preeminent for their special classes of diseases. No remedies ever sold gave such entire satisfaction to their patrons, nud evidence is forthcoming from every city, town, and village to prove their virtues. No doubt can now exist as to their value, but purchasers must be careful to get the genuine articles as many unscrupulous traders will attempt to palm off a. substitute if possible, for the sake of extra profit. Mril. Pinh.ey brought a buggy and pair from Pahiatua yesterday, the road being fairly good, except at Ekctahuna; where the horses had to be unyoked and the vehicle let over a bank on account of the road having slipped away. Messrs Lowes and lorns announce their noit stock sale for May lst,entries for which appear in another column.

Look at the new dresses, and the jackets, and macintoshes, and millinery. Look at I the clothing, mercery, and house furnishings, and glovfs, and marvel when you hem- tho pries named. You'vo never heard anything like it belore. You've been used to'getting your money's woith because you've done your shopping at Hooper's. Bui these extra reduced rates, these extra low prices, they almost cxccdbolief, and but that you take tho Roods away in exchange for tho prices quoted, you would be inolined to doubt your senses, and to fancy that things were not what they seem, Walk ronud the 6bop, prico everything, go somewhere else I go everywhere I price everything at tho other shops, and then by every (ewe of circumstances and from the strongest conviction that it is tho proper thing to do you'll come back to spend your money at the oheapest ami best shop in Mastorton, L, J. Hooper and Oo's Bon Haroho, -Ann. One ol the sights of Wellington, at any time isundoubtably the magnificent establishment known as To Aro House, and now that every department within its walls is filled to overflowing, with a bewildering variety of the season's uovolties in millinery, mantles, dresses, etc,, it is more than ever a pleasure and profit to visit the wholosa!o family drapery warehouse, To Aro lionse.

A specially organised department, has been established to deal with country orders, Patterns of any materials in stock, will be forwarded to any address, post free.
