TE AROHA TRANWAY.

Thb following is tho manner's report for the mouth, submitted at the meeting of the county council on Thursday afternoon : — WMoroiiKom.ii, 17th August. The Chairman, &c, I have the honour to report that during the past four weeks we have had considerable trouble in keeping the line clear of slips, occa-sumed by the lato severe weather. Tho logging in the tunnel that I mentioned in my Jaat report w now completed, and I \enture to way that slips for the future on that particular wpot will tumble us no longer. Our returns of quaiU for the la-st in inth are not, I am sony to say, .w satisfactory as they miflht Iks, but a good deal of this is occasioned by the delay that takes place after one contract is completed, and befote another is taken. Thi.s of course, refers to the Colonist mine only. L hope next month to present you with a more favourable report, as from the Colonist mine alone we are expecting 8Q trucks a week. I have also every re.ivin to believe that the output of quarU for tho New Find for the nuKt month will bo sensibly m-ciea-ed.—l am, ifcc , Edmund COOK-.0.W The letnrns tor the month were . -First wet k, .Si) trucks, l'2O Os (id ; second week, 10 1 tilled, tJ3 17s , thud week, li 4 tiuc\s, JtlHSsiaud fouith we-k, VM tiuck-i, t'2!t »s lid ; totd fot month, 3!K) trucks, W7 l.">s. —Theckiks.udth.it the month's retains showed an actual loss of £20. -The (Jh.w man s.ud it was quite evident they mu-t eithei i.usi) the tariff, ov else sec that moie Hturf is sent down. -In leply to Mi Filth the ck'ik said th it the amount of wages 1111 pud foi list month was tllSiM'Jd, nnd foi tin-* mcotmx tho wages bill ainountert to JL'IOS 0< 7d. Tliey therefoic owed over tJOO for wages. The mining companies jointly owed the council t!!)4 (U Isd. Of thin sum lie had (?<>t .1 chefpie foi £10 14s fid. The Waioionjt"in.u Company owed £14 12s lid. -The Chairman naid it was evident tlicv would have to chat^ the actual cost of sending down the quarU — Cr Firth said this would be a mistake. He undei-'ti.od fioin tho report of the nianii--pei th.it tin; qu irU supply would bo largely mctiMscd this month. Anotliei company was about to --Lait on Monday ne\t. The tluee coiiipnines would send down about foi ty tons a day. They should then have afyout 600 tom .i month, and would const 1 quiMitiy be chaining less foi tr.unwiiy charges if they charged the actual co>t. If they continued as at piescnt they would have a xurplus, and ho piy off the late losses.— Cr. Murphy quite agreed with Or. Firth. It would not bo right to lane the tramway charges. It w.mld only tend to discourage otliei companies fiom nUitin(f. They wanted to encomage enterprise instead of eudu.iv 0111 ing to stiflu it. And by raising tins charges they wero going a very sure wly to husine-s. The tramway charges were at present quite heavy enough.— The clmrman said he would lie veiy sorry to have to do such a thing; it amounted to thin tliey a ere going to the bid, and something must lie done. 'lhe following telegiam was received fio-n Mi H. H. Ad him :-" Would y..u k'ndly instruct Cookson to woik tiam, as we want ; the present *y stem greatly hum-bugging.'--The chairman said that on icceipt of this telegram he Had asked MiAdams to furnish particular, ke, but no fm ther conuiiunication had but-n leceived. _^^_____^^_^__

TAMa\(r in church is a legal offence in the United States. Several young ladies and gentlemen of the best society in Missouri were lately brought up in a police court and fined for this offence. Speakixu of Mr Beeclier's 70th birthday, an old New Yorker said ; " I like Beecher. He has done more to cool off Hades than any other man that ever lived." A New Yorker would like any man who would do that. —Boston Post. A Re\ Kill-Ni> gentleman named Kdinunson is cnde.ivoiuing to rob the autlioi of " Paradise Lost" of a>l the honour which belongs to originality of conception. He has published a work to prove that Milton v/iM largely indebted in the composition of his great poem to various poems of a Dutch rhymester of the same period, one Joost V.mderi Vondel, and thatSam-.on Agonistes was inspired by a drama by Vondel on the i.iine subject.

Si'Mi\Y L\w in Vii-s-jm —Vienna was, on June 14, for the first time without Sunday afternoon papeis All the cdi tonal offices and ti'legiaphie news agencies were closed, and no hou.se building or factory work went on, except in the rase of a tew tiades exempted from the •Suuday Observance Law.

Ui LMhi» to Dlath, —Sii William liar court, saya an English exchange, Ins never taken a wiser itep than that winch he announced—amid sympathetic chcei.s —to the House »f Commons the other niglit He Ins put the painful c.ise of bullying in King's College School into the hands of the public prosecutor, with instructions to obtain evidence, and, if the evidence should justify it, the conviction, and adequate punishment of the offenders. The p.utiei.lais of the case are as follows :—A little boy of twelve died in April, as the eoionei's jury found, from injuries inflicted on him at King's College school. The poor lad, on his death bed told his father, with uijtinc tions of secrecy, how it happened, One day, as the little boys weie leaving the dining hall, the big boys .inanged themselves in the conidor to bully them. Kaeh big boy hit each little boy a blow on the back as he passed out, and morethan a do/en fell on this particular victim and killed him. With this knowledge the public prosecutoi ou^bt to have no difficulty in finding out who were concerned in this cowaidly violence. There were oppressors enough who inflicted the wrong and oppressed enough who suffered the wromj, for plenty of evidence to be procurable. If the cowards who laid hands on this little boy can bo convicted and sent to pnson, we may soon see an end of an abominable practice, which, as Sir William II ncourt truly says, is one of the greatest blots on our social system. If the niastets of our pnMic schools cannot prevent the most cowardly of all oppressions, that of the physically strong over the weak, they must be taught that the law will step in and shield the children they fail to protect.

The Bad and Worthless are never initlnlcl or emtulerfnttil. This is espeeidl'y true of a family medicine, am' it is positive proof that the remedy imifi'ftff is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and the most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which tlio press .md the people of the countiy had expressed the merits of H. V> , and in every way trying to induce fliilfeimg invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on tht* credit and good name of 11. 15. Many others started nostmms put up in similar style to H.. !>., with variously devised names in which tin- word " Hop"or " Hops" wete used in n way to induce peoplo to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is and especially those with the word " Hop" or " Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Bewirc of them. 'I ouch none of tnem. Use no thiuq but genuine- American Hop Hitters, with a cluster of gn" n Hops on the white label, and Dr Sou It's name blown in the glaas. Trust nothing efse. Druggists and Chemists are warned auamst dealing in imitations or counterfeits.
