Mr David Thomas reportß upon the live atook market m the Ashburton County for the week ending June 15 :- On Tuesday at the Tinwald yards the usual weekly sale was held. There was a good attendance of farmers, dealers, and others, but only a few buyers amongst them ; therefore biddings were dull, and several lines were passed by auctior, which m some cases f«und buyers after the sale. The yarding for the day was made up of crossbred ewes, with an odd line of lambs. The batchers' pans were fully supplied with fat ewes, but only m oases of prime quality were the trade inclined to operate, therefore graziers stepped m and secured them a; lower values than those ruling at the previous market at this fixture. Some good lines of crossbred ewes came forward, and I placed two lines at 9s and 10s 4d. The totals for the day con sisted of 8721 sheep, 88 head of cattle, and 10 pigs, of which my entry comprised 3429 sheep and 35 head of oattle, which I sold at the following prioes :— 22 crosßbred ewes 10s 6d, 30 at 10s, 32 two-tooth crossbred 12s 9d, 10 crossbred eves 10a 3d, 31 at 10s 6d, 23 at 10a, 16 at 11s 3d, 23 at 6a 4d, 27 at ss, 28 at 10a sd, 49 at 10s sd, 26 at 10s 4d, 25 lambs 63 Id, 11 orosabred ewes 6s sd, 8 lambs sb, 6 rams 4a 6d, 59 lambs 5a lOd, 19 rams 4s 3d, 7 at 7a 4d, 32 laaibs 5s lOd, 146 orosßbred lambs 4s 63, 180 four, six, and eight-tooth ewes 83, 168 crossbred ewes 6a, 213 four and six-tooth ewes 9j, 290 six and eight-tooth ewes 10s 4d, 170 crossbred ewes 63, 97 at 7a 9d, 10 at 6a lOd.

An Explosion.— A severe fright wa9 occasioned last Thursday evening to a family residing m the West Ward (says the 7ara naki Herald). One of the members of the household j a servant, bad complained of Buffering from cold feet afc night, and a young lady member of the family, thinking to apply a remedy, filled a stone bottle with water, oorked it up, and popped it m the oven to heat. The aervant was unaware of what was m the oven, and bad a fairly good fire m the grate, m front of which she was Bitting, when suddenly a great explosion ocourred, so violently aa to extinguish the light m the kitchen. Of course she rushed away and met other members of the house* hold coming to enquire what had happened. On an inspection being made, it was found that' the oven door had been forced open, and the cork blown out of the bottle, as well as two other corks which had been inside the bottle and oould nob be removed by ordinary means.
