CHRISTCHURCH WOOL SALE.

The third wool s»ie of the season com- ■ menced at Christchurch yesterday morning. 10,287 bales were catalogued, and the wool was in very good condition, though naturally a little heavier than that earlier shorn. There was a good attendance of buyers. As to prices there was a decline of fully a half penny per pound in crossbreds, but an improved demand for merinos, in which there was a rise of a farthing to a half-penny per pound as compared with the previoup Hale. Prices for medium tosuperior wools were as follows :—Greasy halfbred, s|d to 7|d ; crossbred, sid to 7£d; longwoo', wsd to 6£d; merino 4Jd to 7d. Pieces and locks at December rates.

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Mr D. Thomas reports upon tho live sfcrck market for the week ending January 24, On Tuesday, at the Ashburton yards, the usual stock sale was held. The entry was c, small one, only 3680 sheep and 25 head of cattle coming forward for the day's sale. The attendance was fair considering this time of the year when harvest is in full awing. The yards were made up chiefly of two-tooth and lambs, the latter one very nice line, sold at 9s 6d. Of the total entry I sold on account of various clients 2264 sheep and five head of cattle at the following price*, viz.,—l2B fat two-tooths 8s 6d, 89 merino ewes 4s 6J, 40 merino ewes 4=i 4d, 80 merino ewes 4s, 43 fat four-tooth 10s, 80 fat merino ewes 3j lid, 36 crossbred ewes 7s 3d, 44 lamb 3 4s, 63 crossbred ewes Is, 868 two-tooth cros&breds 7s, 485 two-tooth crobsbred ewes 93 63, 30 fat four-tooth crossbreds 11s Id, 136 two-tooth crossbreds 9s 6d. Cattle-one calf £1 ss, one cow £4 15s 6d, three heifers £3 19s. Arcade Horse Fair.—On Thursday, January 24, I held a very successful horse sale. Several buyers from the north and south were in attendance and I managed to fix them up with 40 head between them. Good young draughts were in demand, and I managed to cleat all in that class I had. Old stock were not saleable, therefore a number had to be passed out without a bid. The total yarded for the day's sale was 112 head of all descriptions of which I succeeded in selling 62 at the following prices:— Unbroken draught geldings arid fillies £8, £13 Ss, £13 10s, £14 10s, £16; unbroken light horses £7 10s, £8 10s, £12; light harness horses £9, £10, £13 15s, £15, £17 } Young draughts, broken, £14 109, £13, £15, £15 10s, £17, £22 ; aged draughts £7 15s, £9, £10 10s, £12 15s, £13; inferior hacks £2 15s, £4 103, £6 10a.

Charitable Aid Board.

Wellington, January 26 The Roy*l Commission which was charged some time ago with the investi gation of certain charges made against the North Canterbury Charitable Aid Board have reported (1) that th re is no justifi cation for the charge of cruelty by the oicrs in refusing assisfance in deserving cases ; (2) as to the alleged extravagance of the Bn&id in the scale of salaries paid to its officer?, the Commissioners find that the salaries of the secretary, book keeper, and clerk are not excessive, but that the sahry of (he present inspector is, and that the services of one clerk might be dispensed with ; (3) as to the chargeo r parsimony in dealing with old, sick and improvident people, the Commissioners state that there is no justification for this complaint, but only in regard to the permanent dole i&ened; (4) as to the alleged conduct of the Inspector of the Boari In acting immorally to some of those who aek for, or are in receipt of aid, the Commissioners report "We find this is not proven."

"McLACHLAN'S FALL."

One of the gaspipes that I mentioned last, week has been plugged ; temporarily at all events. It is a pity that there are not more members like the one for Ash burton. Doubtless he profited by perus ing my notes; but be that as it may, he seems to have suddenly become converted to the doctrine that speech is silvern and silence is golden, and in a most praiseworthy manner has contented himself with enunciating his political views by pantomime only. Indeed in his debut as pantomimist he rivalled the great Lauri's performance in the ' Old Guard.' I know that his abrupt descent from the platform at South Rakaia might be other wise represented. It n>igho even be suggested that his political bias caused him to overstep the mark, or that the ground was cut from under his feet. This was not so. The fact is that being a man of broad-minded views he simply entered an energetic protest against the narrowness of the planks of the great (?) Liberal plat form. One plsck on which he most firmly relied (indeed, on which he put his foat down) was not present at all. Mr McLachlan was. Thus the situation demonstrated the downfall of the Great Liberal Party as personated by himself. Could anything be more dramatic or logical ? After all, does not history " repeat itself ? ' It is true the encore verses are often some what different from the original, and not so admirable as those warbled by the talented songsters of Williamson's Opera Company, but local colour goes a long way. In Poland's history we know full well, How " Freedom shrieked when Kosci usko fell." Cause and effect may be reversed, I own, When modern patriots are lying prone. The present case leaves little room for doubting, McLachlan's fall was due to over-shouting. —Bohemian.

The Fall of Man.

This is a Frenchman's version of the fall of Adam and Eve:—" Monsieur Adam, he vake up—he sees une belle demoiselle aslip in pc garden. Voila de la chance ! ' Bon | jour, Madame |v,' Madame Iv, she vake; she hole her lan before to her face. Adam put on his eyeglass to admire ze tableaux, and zey make yon promenade. Madame Iv, she feel hungry. She sees appel on ze arbre. Serpent sa promene sur l'arbre—make one walk on ze tree. * Monsieur le Serpant, 1 say Iv, 'villvous not have cc bonte to peek 1 some appel 1 j'ais faitn.' Certainement, Madame Iv, charmes de vous voir.' * Sola, i mon ami, ar-i-retez vous!' says Adam— * stop ! stop que songez vous faire 1 Was madness is zees? You must not pick ze appel!' Ze enake, he take one pinch of Bchnuif, he say: ' Au, Monsieur Adam, do you not knew how zere is nossing proheebet ze ladies 1 Madame Iv, permit me to offer you some of zeese fruit; defendu—zeese forbidden fruit.' Iv, she make one courtesy—ze snake, he fill her parasol wiz ze appel. He says: • Eritis sicut Deus. Monsieur Adam, he vill eat ze appel, he vill become like one Dieu ; know ze good and ze evell—but you, Madame Iv, cannot become more of a god dess y;an you are now." An' xat feenish j^adatoi %y." ■ • ''
