CHRISTCHURCH.
Last night. The united services of the children attending the Anglican Sunday Schools of the city and suburbs was held yesterday at St. Michael and St. John's Churches, and there waa a large attendance. Dr. Stuart, of Dunedin, preached to a large congregation at St. Paul yesterday. A new weekly paper has been started called the Malvern Independent. The crops all down the south line are looking splendidly. . At Saturday's sales better prices were obtained for farming stock than for many months. * Science to the Rescue. Two hundred feet of two and a half inch pipe was recently sunk for a well for the Christchurch Club, and when that distance was reached a stratum so hard was met that the contractor could not remove the plug. He applied to Professor Bickertori, who with dynamite pierced by a platinum wire blew tbe foot off the end of the pipe, and the released water rose in a stream twelve above the surface. The well is the deepest in Canterbury.
