CHRISTCHURCH.
This day. The harvest, prospects in the Canterbury provincial district are magnificent, and in some districts harvesting operations have been commenced, the crops promising splendid yields. Labor is very scarce, and the efforts made to obtain it in the city and Dunedin have proved quite unsuccessful. The applications from shareholders in the Frozen Meat Company for freight in the British King, the first of the Shipping Company's direct steamers, amounted to 19,9.30 sheep, about double as many as there is space for in the vessel. No trace of poison could be found about the house of AVilliam AValsh, who was found in a dying state on AVednesday night, and from the evidence at the inquest it appeared to be uncertain whether AValsh had been poisoned. The inquest adjourned to enable the stomach to be analysed. The deceased had purchased some medicine in town in the shape of powders and pills, which he took home with him, and they are to be analysed.
