Aceording to the report of the Ob- servatory for last month it Was the coldest July recorded during the . past fifty years. The average temperature for the month was 63.73, being 3.94 lower than the average of 51 years, and 3,61 lower than July, 1,890.

The Canadian Volunteer team who have been in England this summer have just been successful in winning the second prize in the Kolapore match. Last year they were 28 points behind the mother country, but this year there was only 7 between them. The Duke of Cambridge, who was ammo'bthe teams distinguished guests, addressed the Canadian volunteers, highly prais- ing their success at this year's meeting They beliete that their defeat was ow- ing to foggy weather which occurred during the shooting.

The cobs were of a medium size and well filled. men are only human and aro liable, however, honest.intentioned, to as and prejustice. These chances are more thau even, that the system would inure to the benefit of the cunning hy- pocrite, -while the really reformed. pris oiler might be subjected to add penal- ties. The sentences of judges and ma- gistrates are monstrous enough, some - thus ; mistaken enough. Let us not add to the difficulty by vesting their power in penitentiary underlings. The system makes them a court in which the prisoner is without witnesses unrepresented by counsel. We do not want to revive the star chamber. We have been informed that a party calling himself a spoitsmanwas seen in the neighborhood of Exeter about the 17th of July trying to shoot young ducks that were just about able to fly. Take this as it warning young man,. that if yon are caught with any of these birds in your possession you will receive the penalty that the law pro- vides for such unruly persons. Of course we know..it is verylhard to pass them by, but rernembee that the season opens on the first of September, and then you will be able to show your markmanship without any danger of being fined. A Montrealer who has just returned from a trip throughthe, Western States and the Canadian Northwest says that never in his life had he seen so much destitution and begging and so many tramps as in the Taeorna and Seattle district. "From the time he left Glen. folks till he passed Tacoma,tramps sur- rounded the dining car at every stat- ion, begging,' for money and food. At one station in paeticular, just before crossing the Columbia river, three tremps were hung up in effigy to a sign post, with a notice posted above them that any tramp founil around the neighborhood would be treated in the. manner represented." --Mr. Geo.

Although the red men are not allowed to but in Can- ada, the Government will not compel them to give up cartridges that ate found in their territory. The only safeguard is to take it from them at the boundary, on the ground that the ammunition ,was being smuggled in without the payment of duty. The law is a strange one. While it prohibits the Indians front buying, it does not auth- orise the police to recover the ammuni. tion unless actual smuggling has tak- en place. The Government has no rea, son to suspect the intentions of the In- dians who are peaceably inclined." John L. Brewer'of Philadelphia,holds the Ingh honor of being one of the best pigeon shots in the world. Brewer has for some time b&n known as it crack shot, but his defeat not long ago of Captain J. A.R. Elliott at Marion, N. J., placed him at the head among Ameri- can pigeon shooters. Elliott who is a Kansas City man,has for several years held the American Field's champion- ship cup against all comeys.

The first day both men were in great form. They tried at 93 birds out of 100. On the shoot off at 25 birds Brewer won, killing 23 to Elliot's 21. The second day Brewer again was victorious. He dropped 99 birds, while his opponent only, scored 92. , Brewer is out with a challenge to any great shot across the big pond. J. H. Grieve.

The Post office Department makes a simple but practical suggestion to the public relative to the complaints that postage sta.tnps will not adhere to let- ters and packages, Complaints are made that the stamps have not suffi- cient mucilage upon them, but it is suspected that too much is taken off in the process of wetting• them. It is, therefore,suggested by the department officials that, instead of the stamps bailiemoistened, the envelopes or packages be wetted, and the stamps then affixed. It is thought all cause of complaint will be removed if this plan be followed. A.ceident. While Mr. Robert Webster Utaa nus. ily engaged using the steam ..hammer in the rblacksmith shop of,w.E.
