Mr. Sterling, concluding that bur-

at the report of the revolver, made a

Sterling kept up the shooting in the
hope of calling some of the citizens to
his aid. This proved unsuccessful,
however, as all those that heard the
shooting thought that some of our
hunters were out shooting inwiltrals,
which sport et present is indulged in
to a large extent. Mr. Steeling re-
mained at the bank, every now and

dawn of day. In the morning it was
found that, as stated before, the lock
of the front door bad been knocked
off, and part of the lock of the 'melt

despatch from Vancouver, says: -
The Klondike reset still continues un-
abated. There are deity sailings from
Pacific coast ports carrying large num-
bers of fortnne-seekers and immense
quantities of supplies, So great was
the northward movement in the early
part of the season that every avail-
able vessel was pressed into serviee,
some of these being battered old hulks,
whioh, haring • become unseawarthy,
were .1.turriedly patched up to meet the
emergency ot the occasion. The lack
of experienced pilots in the intrieate
waters of the northern coast, whieb in
the inner ohannels through the Islands
fringing tbe mainland are difficult to
navigate, added to the dangers of the
trip, width woe taken by some leiliandik-
R7's With grave misgivings that were
not groundless, as evidencee by sever-
al disasters. This does not apply, of
course, to all the .steamers in the
Klondike trade, but to enough. Of

importance, and to cause their arrival

ectancy. 1^he Tartar should arrive hi
couple of days and elan Athenian a
week or tett days later. It is under-
stood time they will take the outside
course 00 tee route to Wrameel and
entirely avoid the dangers of the in-.
ser waters of tee Pacific. Their cap-
tivity is BOO passengers per trip, or 1,000
per week. With this acquisition to the

is anticipated to reach its height very

Rochester Nurserymen and MO Sail Jose
Scale ririslatIon.
A despatch from Rochester, N. Y.,
says :-Nurserymen here are =rah in-
censed over tbe measure whioh became
11. law in Canada on Friday, prohibit-
ing the entry into tbat country of
nursery stock from any country where
the San Pose scale is known to exist.
They assert that this city alone ships
from 0400,000 to 3500,000 worth of nurs-
ery stock to Canada every year, and
that contracts are now on hand with
Canadian dealers for large shipments
of stook. The goods would have been
delivered within two weeks had it not
been for tee passage of the bill.
Dealers assert that the move on tbe
pert of. the Canadians is merely a ruse
for keeping out this stock, and that the
San Jose scale in merely teed as an
emir° for passing the law. The 01011
,rose scale, that has given nurserymen
so much trouble, is a, small insect pro-
teoted by a scale. It was first dis-

Bolt:toe has frilly established the
tact that all the nervous energy of our
bodies is generated by nerve centres
located near the base of the brain.
When the supply of nerve force has
eon diminished either by excessive
physical or mental labours, or owing to
a derangement of the nerve 00110(58, 000
are first oonscious of a languor or tired
and woen-out feeling, then of a mild
form of nervousness, headache, or
stomach trouble, whioh is perhaps suc-
ceeded by nervous prostration, ohronio
indigestion, end dyspepsia, and a gen-
eral sinking el the whole system. In
this day of hurry, fret and worry, there
are very few who enjoy perfect health ;
nearly everyone has some trouble, an
sofie, or pain, a weakness, a nerve
trouble, eomething wrong with the
stomaoh and bowels, poor blood, heart
disease, or siok headache; all of which
are brought on by e. lack of nervous
energy to enable the different organsof
the body to perform their respective
work.
South American Nerving Tonic, the
marvellous nerve food andhealth giver,
is asatisfying success, awondroua boon
to tired, alai; and overworked men
and winen, wbo have suffered years
of disoouragement and tried all manner
of remedies without benefit. It is a
modern, a scientific remedy, and in its
Take follows abounding health.
It is unlike all other remedies in
that it is not designed to act on the
different organa affected, but by its
direct notion on the nerve oentres,
which are nature's little batteries, it
mimes an Jim:ceased supply of nervous
energy to be generated, whioh in its
turn thoroughly oils, as it were, the
machinery of the body, thereby en-
abling 10 to perform perfectly its dif-
ferent functions, and without the
slightest frietion.
