Two very handsome trophies for presentation as special prizes at the forthcoming Agricultural and Pastoral Show are now on view at G. and T. Young’s, jewellers. One is a French marble clock, beautifully mounted in bronze, with an Assyrian bull on top and otherwise chastely ornamented. This magnificent prize, valued at £2l, is the gift of the local drapers, and will be presented to the largest prize-taker in draught horses. The other is an exceedingly elegant gift, offered by Messrs F. Archer, Ford and Co., and W. Evans, for the largest prize-taker in merino sheep,and consists of a French clock of black marble mounted in bronze, with a pair of candlebras to match. A young girl, only 17 years of age, a resident of Waimate, was to-day committed to Sunnyside Asylum. The poor girl’s case was a very bad one, and it was thought best to place her alone in a second class carriage of the afternoon express. St. Mary’s Church Bazaar will open on Tuesday next, at the Mechanics’ Institute, Contributions which may be left at the Institute to-morrow, or any day afterwards, will be thankfully received by the Churchwardens. Poor Man.—A gentleman called professionally on a prominent physician and complained of a total loss of appetite. “ I’ll just give you a little tonic to take before dinner,” said the doctor. “ Oh, I’m all right before dinner. It's after dinner that I suffer so much.” The Duke and his Violin. —A private letter from St. Petersburg tells me that although the present felictious state of matters is attributed by “ own correspondents ”to the foresight of General Louis Mclikoff, it is, happily, our own Duke of Edinburgh who is primarily to be thanked for the temporary inactivity of the Nihilists and their absence from the Czar’s residence. During his sojourn at the Winter Palace the Duke played the violin every night. For continuation of News see fourth page. Late Advertisements. OANTERBURY AND PASTORAL ASSOCIATION.
