Sir Andrew Clarke in his speech remarked on the singular fact that the spot where ixteen years ago Mr. Brunton, the engineer, pitched his camp, was the tame on which the mighty Iscander encamped when he tried to crvn the SutleJ for the conquest of India.

I believe it would conduce greatly to the interests of the county to allow another assistant the increase of work and cost, even in the last four years, would pay over twenty times bis salary. is principally wai ted in an assistant is a feeling of duty and responsibility, with integrity and energy; but it must be admitted that the more faithfully the out-door duties are performed, the mora proportionally are surveyors and their assistants out of picket, their travelling expenses not being allowed. This is a defect in the law which I hope will sob be nctiSed.

Tbls Invention effectually remedies evils arising from common cesspool privies and and prevents the iffenslve smell consequent on the use of tbe ordb.rjr coMtnode in bedrooms, hospital wards. tc It is founded on the well-known power of Earth as a Deodorising Agentt a given quantity of Diy Earth destroying, all atnell, and entirely preventing noxious vapours and other discomforts. Tbe partical application of this power has been successfully carried out by the present Invention. Apart from, its superiority over the Water System In destroying all smell, the Earth aystem is more ecooumical, both In Its Urst cost and its after-working, there being uu expensive cistern or pipes, no danger from frost, and tho product being a manure of value to fanners and gardeners. The supply ot the Earth and its removal are attended with no more inconvenience than the sup ly of coal and the removal of ashes for ordinary Urea of a dwelling-house.
