ADDINGTON MARKET.

There was not a large attendance at the Aldington market on Wednesday, and not very many buyers among those who were Fc™s.~-The yarding in •H«J a«f «f cattle waa light, and prices per lOOlba for Set ranged from 16a to 17s for prime, and 12a fid to 15s for cow and secondary. Fat mibhp.— There was a heavy entry, but many were half-finished ; a large propor tion wa/cwa mutton, with a few fair lines of freezers. Buyers for export were not operating freely owiog to the scarcity of Jreights and the unsatiafactory news from London. Therefore, consignments of heavy Xep and over-weight wethers did not meet with the competition noticeable at latesale*; Ind a decline of from 9d to la per head took place in this class. Handy-weight freeze; b, Kowever (say fiom 48ib to 70*), realised close up to late rates, aud where hues were Jf fairly even weight and quahtyb»yer g showed their appreciation by bidding wel .

ASHBURION MARKET.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live Htock market in the Ashburton County for the week ending July 29 :-Oa Tuesday at the Tinwald yards, the usual weekly sale was held. lhe attendance of farmers, dealers, and others wen good ; but the m jo ritv were lookers on, therefore the tone of thfnWket was rather dull, and prices were slightly easier than those rulmj? at late sales. The stock entered for the day was made up of several lines of inferior quality, especially crossbred ewes. Hoggets wed wooled and in fair condition held their own, the yards being scarce of this clasß, and al lota were disposed of at prices on a par with those of last week. The yarding for the day coneisted of 5058 aheep, 15 head of cattle, and 20 pigs. My entry comprised 1886 sheep, 3 head of cattle, and 14 pigs, which I disposed of at the following prices ; _gheep—ls fat crossbred ewes, 9a ; 10 fat orossbred hoggets, 8a 6d; 8 crossbred hoggets, 7s 8d ; 62 fat crossbred ewes, 10* 2df 16 fat merino ewes 4. 6d ; 4 fat cross breds, 5b 9.1, 27 fat crossbred ewe«, 14s lid ; %} fat merino ewes, 5s 3d j 45 six and eight tooth crossbred ewes, 9<6d ; 69 merino ewes in iamb, 5s ; 48 merino ewes, 3a ; 200 eight tooth crossbred ewes, 7* 4d ; 81 merino ewes, 3*7d;65 halibred lambs, 7a 8d ; 47 cross bred lambs, 7s 9d ; 99 crossbred ewes, 3a 6d j 140 two-tooth ewes in lamb, »s M ; ido fhree-quarterbred lambs, 8s ; 294 crossbred ewes in lamb, 10s. .Cattle-! cow, £6 16a; 1 fat cow, £4 17s 61.

Concert at Lauriston.

Prom Our Own Correspondent'

A very enjoyable concert was given in tha schoolroom on Tuesday evening, by Miss Birdie Butler, Miss Olphert, and a. compai y from Ashburton. Being the first entertain ment of the k?nd that has been given in lauriston for some considerable time, tl.e concert attracted a very large audience, t!>e schoolroom being filled to excess. Through oat the whole of the evening, the audience i showed itselt to be a veiy appreciative one. All the items were well rendered, aud mai y were redernanded. Miss Butler ably bon; out her reputation as being a most talented vocalist, and was recalled, for her songs— "Bid me to love," and " Whisper sud 1 •hal hear," aiiging aa encores "There's > o one like mother ti me," and " IcrVd'ut, ■ could I." In her duet with Mr Craiuhead, " Life's dream is o'er," Miss Butler was als> heard to advantage. Mi*s Ol'.herb proved herself an e'.ocuti nisr. of a high order, ana i in her happy selection of humorous recita tions, she at once established herseli a favorite with the audience. Of her items, which were all well giveD, perhaps tl c bear were "Hanging a picture,' and "The ii ventor'B wite " Mr Oraighead gave a vigor ous rendering of Scotland yet," and sarg also "Anchored" in good stjle, besides taking part in the duet " What arj the wild waves saying? ' wib Mrs Marsdcn. "Nil Desperandum" &cd "Home, boy*-, Hume' ue-e suns? by Mr Treziae, for the latter of which he received an encore. Mr Brooking's "British Lion "and the "Lion h.arts of England" were warmly received, and in lesponse to an encore to the former, he btxng " True to tjhe core." Mrs Marsden was in good voice, and gave very creditable expositions of "The song that reached my heart," and " The fisherman and his child " ; <" r the latter she had to respond to an encore; Mr Topham was scarcely at his best with "True till death," but was more at home in his second number, " Sailing." Two pianofoite dueta were played by Misses Butler and Kidd. Afc the close of the performance, Mr Topham thanked the audience for the hearty reception accorded to the company, and with the singing of the ♦' National Anthem," the entertainment was brought to a close.

SAJNJOJ3I:* Sc Sons Euca lypti Extract. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in, the market now, products of simple d:sliUation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crudeiiils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is reeogniaed by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as their I information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :-«• It proved by tests by the Medical Clinics j of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mosler, Diiector of the Medical Clinic at Gieifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of Reids, resinous and other substancos, adherent to : primary distillation, will develops the sanative qualities proper to the pant according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lisster, of England, and to Drs. Bauer, Melntire, Wood, Hazard, etc, of America, is the only extract correspond ing to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SOIS'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be classed among the tuipentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, ond are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in pundgent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Exbvacos develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in apeciio density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of rosins and tennatee. If these crude oils, so called euc lypt extracts, are applied by mistake in casei of croup, bronchitis, diohtvera, ml mi) inflamatioas, dysentery, wounds the consequences are a.pilling.
