Hamilton, Thursday
A report received by the Waikato A. and P. Association, from Messrs Weddell and Co., o? London, concerning the thirty show !amb3 which were shipped by the Corinthic is ti the effect that the lambs were marketed at Smithfield, and were of Rood av9rnge quality. The only fault was that a few were hardly sufficiently covered with fat, and several of the pens were of uneven Tha parcel, as a whole, was of a class to with a good demand on the London market, and an all-round price of 6Ad per pound at Smithfield was obtained.
Mrs Coff is an old-age pensionar, An aged dame who has seen brighter days; She grants me permission to mention her, And to publiish her quota of prais?. A hacking, dry cough was tho bane of her, Which made the nights hard to endure; But she bids me to say that she charmed it away With Wooda' Great Peppermint Cure.
