PRESENTATION

Yeaterday afternoon after sohool work at the Borough Sohool for the day ,had closed, Mr Mayne, headmaster, oalled all the girl eoholara into the mid room, all the teachers being present as well. Mr Mayne said the duty had fallen to him of presenting to Miss Stewart, the assistant mistress, who wa3 leav ing the Bohool, a token of the love and .sympathy entertained for her by the pupils whom she had been teaching and by the teachers in the sohool, with whom she had been associated. Mr Mayne paid a high compliment to Miss Stewart's ability as a teacher and her amiability, personally ex. pressing his deep regret that she had seen fit to sever her oonneotion with the sohool. The souvenir took the form of nine handsome volumes of the " Library of Knowledge." Mr Mayne also acknowledged for Miss Stewart the testimonial that bad betn given to her. . He was Bure Miss Stewart's connection with the school had been such, and the affection she had won so great that the testimonial was not needed to keep her»memory of

- the Ashburton School green, but tbe ceati ■' monial waa very gratifying alt tbe same; Friday being the last day of Miss Stewart's connection with the aonool, she took an aflectionate farewell of the scholars of her olaae, and bid farewell to her aßßOoiatea on the teaching staff.

EXPORT OF BUTTER IN BIG STEAMERS

Tha .Wellington correspondent of tha "Lyttelton Times" writing on JSVoraary 17, aayi :— The iteamer Doka of Westminster, of the famous Ducal line and I Unlidlnf yards, Barrow-in-Farneas, m the 1 County of Lancaster,) imionlshed iha oltlMLSof Wellington who take their early , , walk and miff of the briny, by her huge hulk at the wharf. She bae spaca to: thirty-eight thouat.ud oarcaoea of maiton . bat on her present vojagn a iege pro "■ potion of up&ot will btsreadrved for butier " and other dairy prodoce. The Quipping Compacy to wnom the Is uodei ohaxtur, . are doing their duty tbie way by the dntiy people. Chese require an unexpectedly large amount of accommodation this yosr bWlog to the grand season they are h&vlag, 1 but whether they will get euough spooe lor their butter remains to be seen, There ii a difficulty Id providing freezing facili ties, the demand for new machinery being . maoh greater tban the capacity of Messrs Haslam to tnpply ii. Had ihut c<paouy been larger, the s.fl. Duke of Weatmkmster , would have been here many months ago. f However, here she Is at laßt, and being bore

tbe ■nippers of butter, I hear. »te not quit* unanimous es to whether Joey Bhau have their batfer frczaa or merely kept fiool. Freezing ia recommended by the •xpcrlence of the Shipping Company* •hips. The batter for their outward voyages li alt made in Devonshire, sod mud supplied to them at Plymouth In great collections of pound pats, which, Imme diately on arrival, are clapped Into the freezing room, and there ugzju hard. .During the voyage the steward *»kea uut .Ike pats as he wants them, and everybody i* enchanted with the flavor, quality aad - condition of the thawed, but still n\m, batter. Hard butter ia iho ttopfoa !Is •lmost ntaggere belief. On arrival at thia end there id always a quantity over, about chough for half the return voyage, which ii always preferred to the New Zealand •rtiole—an evident proof that fretz.ng does not injure It In tbe leaat. Moreover, it has beuu found by experiment that this butter beeps longer after coming out of the freezing room than the freah batter of the country—a proof that fretzlag doei not prevent its keeping. After that what more proofs can anyone require? The experience of the Company's own ■nip* seems to ma to bo absolutely con luilre.

CORN EXCHANGE REPORT.

The following is the Corn Exchange lor tie week ending Friday .—The bulk of the tarvest is now safe in stack, and the small pro- Jiortion still out will be carried within the next ew days. Farmers can congratulate them selves on the exceptionally favorable weather prevalent during harvest time. Wheat—A steady demand for old at late prices continues, but buyers are chary of making large purchases of new ; until more time has been given for the maturing of the grain in stack, we may expect this disinclination to purchase to prevail. Oats (old) are not offering in any quantity, and there we'no buyers of new except at prices which growers will not accept: it is difficult to pre dict what will be the ultimate outlet for this cereal. Barley samples are offering more freely, but there is a difficulty in doing business, as buyers, and sellers, ideas of value have not come together. It is pleasing to notice that more attention has been given to threshing, the samples on offer showing a marked absence of broken and thin grains. So far the parcels offering are not up to the usual standard. Peas —Prussian Blues (hand threshed) are wanted, lutforthe wrinkled varieties (garden) there appears to be little or no demand, and the only outlet is export to London. Grass Seed —Rye (farmers), is offering in small parcels tmly, and remains at quotations with a good enquiry. Cocksfoot is coming into the market, but slowly; bright boll seed is enquired for, tttit the samples offering are lighter than growers anticipated and are bad in colour. Dairy Produce—Butter is but in poor demand, and prices are unaltered. Cheese is in fair demand at quotations. The following are our week's quotations :— Wheat—Tuscan, 2s iod to 2nd; Pearl, 23 Qd ; Hunters' as 7d to 2s 7#d. Oats—Milling, is 6d ; short stout feed, is 4d to is sd( Barley—Prime malting, 3s 3d to 3s 6d; medium^ 2s 5d to 3s; feed, is Qd.

Peas—Prussian Blues (hand threshed), 3s RVEGBASS—Machine dressed, 43 3d to 4s 6d ;. fanners' parcels up to 3s 6d according to quality. Cocksfoot —Bright heavy seed, i6lb and over, 3d; lower qualities, 2^d to 2^d. Dairy Produce—Butter, 6d to 6£d; cheese, large sizes, 3d; small loaf shape, 3J to 3^d. The above quotations are those paid to termers for delivery, f.0.b., sacks extra.

• A gentleman informed the " North Ota&o Tlraaa " the other day that he had seen over 100 sharks onlslde the break water, (none of whloh (idem less than 14 feet in length), indulging ia all gorta ot froakn. They seem to have gathered to gether as If to celebrate their victory over the snul! fish which they bt»ve driven from our ■bores. Four young men had raihor a lively experience with one of theae monsters the other day 4Whilst oat ia the boat fishing they had observed cambers of small ■balks whsch they oftaght and p'.aoed In the boat along with nameroaß email fish which th.y bad previously osptuced, and were jmut preparing to retain home when they observed a chart over 26 foet 1 >ng making for them.
