ASHBURTON STOCK MARKET.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live stock market irs the Ashburton County for the week ending September 8, as follow* :— On Tuesday at the Ashburton Yards the usual weekly sale of live stock was held. The attendance of farmers and others interested was good, but the catalogues sub mitted were not so large as they have been for the last few months. Bidding was spirited, resulting in a total clearance of all lots at an advance upon la^t rates. The total catalogues for the day comprised 3138 sheep, 27 cattle, and 1 pig, of which my entry consisted of 1876 sheep, and 12 cattle, i and i cleared the lot at prices as under :— Sheep—Butchers' ewe?, 90 at 13s Sd ; 9 at 14a» 15 ab 14s Bd, 15 ab 14s Bd, and 30 ab 34s 81; 130 fat merino wethers 13s 3d, 132 crossbred ewes and wethers (fat) 15s, 61 crossbred two-tooth ewes in lamb 15i Bd, 137 crossbrod two-tooth ewes in lamb (small) 13a lOd, 210 crossbted hoggets 13s 2d, 703 two, four, six, and eight-tooth crossbred ewes in lamb 14b, 425 crossbred hoggets 12*91. la cattle, as usual, the salt was a dragging One and to make sales low prices had to be accepted. I sold 1 fat heifer at £4 15s, 1 £6, and 1 at £5 7s 6d, two-year old store heifers £2 s^, and spriogers 1 at £3, 2at £3 s*, and lat £5 ss.

THE DREYFUS CASE.

United Press Association—By Eleotrlo Telegraph—Copyright Paris, September 6 General Mercier, in a brow-beating manner, challenged the judges to choose between himself and Freys taetter, whose brains was affected by a foreign climate.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington. September 8 The House met at 2 30 p.m. THE MARINE ENQUIRY Oa the motion of the Premier, that exhib'la in connection with the marine enquiry, do he upon the table Captain Russell reviewed the evidenoe adduced and the finding of the Commission, characterising ib as biassed It was apparent from the inquiry that there was grave cause for disquietude as to the administration of the Marine Department Messrs J. Hutoheson, (1, Hutchison, P rani, Brown, and Kelly followed, condemn ing the finding of the Commissioners Mr Taylor moved an amendment, that the House is dissatisfied with the administra tion of the Marine Department, as Bhowa by the evidenoe of Mr Hail-Jones in the marine inquiry Mr Rollesfcon was speaking at the 5.30 adjournment Ihe Hou*e resumed at 7 30, Mr Rolfeaton continued the debate. He said the ganeral opinion was that the Minister had come r>u of the irquiry very badly, while the officers of the Depanmenfc, despite the pressure that had been brought to bear upon them, came out exceedingly well Mr Morrison said ihe amendment proposed by Mr Taylor was the moat paltry no confidence motion ever proposed in the House, and twitted the Opposition with ranging themselves under ihe Left Wing Mr Scobie McKenzie s*id the Government had appointed their own Judges in the marine enquiry. Therefore the report absolved them, although, he asserted, the report was a deliberate distortion of evidence, Mr Seddon said he had intended te have treated the amendment with contempt The debate was a contemptible one and had been seized upon by a backboneless opposition who had allowed themselves to be drawn into the trap Mr Duthie said the whole evidenca in the case supported his contention that it was the evil domination of the Premier that had caused the trouble Mr Fisher condemned the great waßte of time that had been involved in this soandal and asserted that the country was hearti'y aick ef ib The debate was interrupted by the 10.30 adjournment

Followay's Ointment and Tills. — The Good Die Young.—Unlike most popular sayings, this has very little truth ia it. Experience every day proves that some at least of the good are spared to make the world brighter and better, and a more pleasant place to live in, In faot. our experience is that good people, and good things generally, live the longest. For example, consider the thousands of articles which have been widely advertised and are now forgotten. Why ? Because they were bad. On the other hand, we have Hollo way's Pills and Ointment, whioh have proved the faithful frfend of poor humanity for fifty years and more. Why ? Because they are good: Of a truth, that which ia good does oofc die, but livea for ell time.

Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medioal Clinics and Universities all over ths Globe. There are Imitations of Eucalypti Extraot in the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate:— It is proved by teats by the Medical Clinic of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz,Professor of Parrnacology, at Bon, and Professor Dri Mossier, Director »f the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aad freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develops the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so callod Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since us an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so culled Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— I By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygon. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through tno presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflam&tions, dysentery, etc, the con sequences are most appalling.
